 OMG - GID Skullpirate is beautiful
It's even better seeing it in person... the paint on the eyepatch looked kinda iffy to me in the pictures, but it looks so cool.

got mine today also.
seriously this thing is not going together for me. I'm afraid to break the shit.
The male and female parts are a total mystery to me  THe thingys are too BIG for the holes.
Does someone actually assembly these toys in the factory or are they done by a machine?

If it's warm in your area, just leave the vinyl in your car for a few hours... that usually softens it up pretty good.

Congrats Maz. The seller hit me up before he threw it up on the other board. Nothing against the seller because he seems like a cool guy, but I just don't understand why I would get a PM to buy this figure if the intention was to sell it on another board for "the highest offer"
Sour grapes I know but my hopes were up pretty high that I might actallu score one of these.

here's some of the PM's i got about the pirate when i offered to buy it from anyone who got it of the KR board... and within 2 minutes i got:
I got one for trading. Do you have a trade list or a cash offer?
and another one
I don't collect much SB stuff, and got a Pushead last night. I really, really want one, but am also broke and can be talked out of most things. Who knows, it might be sick enough when it gets here that I'll keep it, but I'll listen to what you ahve to say.
i made an offer slightly below 200 and got the reply
I had already been offered over $200, but wanted to hold onto it. Let me see when it gets here, I'll get back to you.
i won't name names... but yeah, lots of warm fuzziness there
