So I don't understand that list that people put their names down. I think it's only there so people say I got first bid, so rack off and nothing about following rules. I noticed someone bid on the matango GID that I bid on and then later retracted for the same reason... so it's not all bad.

I think it's fine for folks to bid on something they really want, but it's just the principle of the thing. Either way, you and I both had a set price in mind we would pay. We both know it would come to that point probably, but after my limit I bow out gracefully.

Well if anyone is talking about me, I bid on that booska when I saw a ebay name I didn't reconize. Yes I have it but could go for another because its my favorite RxH piece I have in my collection. Its my money and I can do as i like as I didnt see anyone I knew.
So I bid 150.00 then when all was said and done I saw Kidclam and I stoped on the spot. I already have it and he doesnt so I wont go any further. Atease when I bidded your name wasnt in the auction yet.
Then I also bid on that matango and again saw kidclam bidding so I retracted my bid.
Sorry if I pissed anyone off but it wasnt intentional.

well, i thought i'd chime in here. i've been eyeing this booska rxh for a while now (since the first day). i almost bought it from kontact when he was selling a while back, but went for a couple of other RXH that came up from augustwest at the time. i totally regret it now. i'll be bidding on this one as well, and KidClam--i've pm'ed you about it. I have a max in mind, and if it's exceeded by the time the auction's end, i'll obviously not bid. good luck to us!

I gave the other one I had to Dr.T as a wedding present (even though I have not shipped it yet).
Trade bait is useless, nobody ever trades me the stuff I want.

Serious?
I dont see how anyone could think those are different colors. The photography of these always throws them off but not THAT much. Especially with the history of RxH I think it would be easy to figure out that he wouldnt make two colorways THAT similar.

I agree, he should have been able to tell but your wrong about not releasing figures that similar. Have you seen all the green mutant head variations?

True about the green....this one was pretty clear in my eyes though.

Disappointed that the figure has more of a gold look to it.
I liked the subtle colours of the original photo. Oh well.

If you look at it it can be a very thinned down gold. Also if it was shot on a white backdrop the white refecting off the goold can show up more silver.
Reguardless I wants it
