It becomes more difficult if he's got an inner skull when reattaching the head. Personally for me, when they die, they die. Not a very hard task to get at the light, but I just don't care enough.

I opened it last night. I came to the same conclusion. As cool as the lights look I don't have the patients to get the light out.

 Re: Cure Discussion Spot
My bad, I don't know why I assumed it was the Painted Brain Bug. Probably because I can't stop thinking about it after having to pass on him and convincing myself that I wanted to. This behaviour will surely come up in therapy somewhere down the line....

But $200 is pretty pricey. $125 I woulda got it. Ohh well. Can't win them all.

 Re: Cure Discussion Spot
@hagardjoe. Yeah, it was the price that killed it for me. The amount of work that goes into some of the 0-1000's and they go for roughly the same price, couldn't justify breaking myself over it unfortunately.

 Re: Cure Discussion Spot
Same here... $200 too much for me right now. Later on, i'm sure i'll regret not getting it. (same with the recent Secret Base FLV ... price was good but I passed on it as well.) Must be the winter blahs

 Re: Cure Discussion Spot
Being a made-to-order run like the GID Ball-Man or the Kinkeshi Brain Bug, I'm sure you'll see a bunch of them on the aftermarket for not much more than retail.

 Re: Cure Discussion Spot
 Anyone have any tips on how to stop this happening? Thought I finally had it nailed and could properly display my mini spookies by using removable 'glu dots' on their feet. Went out, came back: would you look at this stupid shit? Driving me mental. Anyone figured a way to make theirs stand?

 Re: Cure Discussion Spot
When I had mine, I heated the feet up super hot, repositioned it and held it there until the vinyl cooled off.

 Re: Cure Discussion Spot
I went to the Secret Base shop today in Tokyo, i talk a little bit with the seller and he told me there will be a release of a boogie man next week ( Sunday ), any news about it? Pictures? ( he only speaks English a little bit so it was hard to gather other information...)
