    That's pretty awesome that the seller returned your money. Would you have kept it if the paint job was good?

    So does that mean that the ebay seller have an account on YJA? If you can PM me the seller on eBay I probably know who it is.

    Re: GBU YJA Mutant Head...

    Gesus, that guy is selling it again. This time it is even well packed. Holy. But looking at the picture, I know where it should be taken. It was previously listed on the bay a few months ago with some other rare one to dilute the attention. And it was finally won by a single account (which I identified the winner is actually the seller).

    This time, it is again listed with 2 other oldies. The same way of selling this time, but at different channel.

    Even I don't have any rxh now, but I don't really want mori's work to be ruined like this. Damn. Can he-the guy please respect someone 's hardwork and design ? :evil: :evil:

    Re: GBU YJA Mutant Head...

    i highly doubt its from akihabara mandarake as claimed.
    if u know more about manadarake, they simply have too much at stake to be selling any bootleg stuff.
    also they have enough in-house experts and relationships to be able to verify the pieces they are selling.

    Re: GBU YJA Mutant Head...

    since the one who selling the bootleg is identified, so it's good to make such excuse to blame the mandarake. But I agree that mandarake won't do that.

    So the seller means it is not his fault so he is now repacking it to make it look much real. And sell it the same as he did on the bay. Comon

    Re: GBU YJA Mutant Head...

    That's what I was thinking too. He must have so many ways to open new accounts on YJA since that is his service under OB name.

    Yeah it might seem respectful not to give his identity on the board because you got your refund, but the Mandarake excuse of is a fricken joke and also an insult to such a respected retailer.

    This seller who is mysteriously selling kaiju toys on eBay and YJA, who customizes toys to sell on this board (who happened to bootleg convincingly the marshmellow chaos into a mini version) and is a so called 'artist' who sprays his own releases as KJ find it difficult to see a bootleg? HA!!

    I also wonder if the other two items he is selling on YJA are bootlegs as well. The pink clear chaosman looks too saturated especially under such a dark flat lighting. Finally, have you noticed the toy on top of the box pictures are exactly the same as another seller on YJA by the name of BobbyXXX...?

    Isn't that just ironic that he can disrespect an artist like Mori by bootlegging and who also help him make his name in the market by having an exclusive RxH release yet can turn his back on that same person that inspired him by making and selling fakes.

    Re: GBU YJA Mutant Head...

    SMART observation !! I spot da same thing but still struggling if that should be voiced out. Not just the box, but the floor. We all know who this seller is. Right he had a lot of accounts on YJA coz that is one of his service providing - help people to sell and bid. So it's too easy to disguise. We all know japanese strictly respect intellectual property so that it seems safe to buy on the yja but I think we are fooled by that guy pretending as a japanese account.

    I mentioned to you, exactly the same as we guess. Once we saw the killerJ(=OB) toys (please don argue if killerJ is OB, I have PHOTOS as evidence. If seeing bootleg keep flowing from this guy. I may have to post them eventually), we all know that he managed the way to make vinyl. We joked that bootleg should be coming...
    Not more than a month, we saw the custom of rxh in the sale section by killerJ. And 2-3 weeks later, the so-called "innocent MANDARAKE" version mutant head is listed on the bay with 2 other oldies.

    Similar to final result as in the bay, these 3 items will be well shill bidded by a single account with a big score (one being used for selling on yja, so probably something with 4xx - 5xx bidding history)

    All my rxh is sold, but I still have to voice out .....
    CAN HE SHOW SOME RESPECT TO ARTIST PLEASE ?! CAN HE SHOW SOME RESPECT TO MORI PLEASE ?! WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO SPENT TIME, EFFORT, MONEY, YEARS TO ACQUIRE DESIGN AND HARDWORK FROM THE TOY DESIGNER.

    Re: GBU YJA Mutant Head...

    Excuse me. We are talking about bootleg here. If you want to talk about something else. If you want to stray people away from the bootleg issue, I may probably know who you are coz da guy who made bootleg had a few identity on the bay, the yja and also on skullbrain.
