    The custom on the left is by Dead Presidents and the custom in the middle is by Leecifer. I was just offered the blue GID this morning and sent payment for it...I wish I had the champagne version too.

    You are missing one of the GID versions.
    And the champagne wasn't the only "proto" that was sold via auction.

    Looking at that picture I'm reminded of the Sesame Street "One of These Things Does Not Belong" segment...

    Looking at that picture I'm reminded of how happy I was to sell the bunch I had because I thought they all looked so samey . . . dude should have called time after a half dozen or so!

    Agreed. I like his ink on paper, but I don't think his art translates to interesting toys.

    Still missing out on all the GID versions plus the Golden Week, but I am happy with my bunch.

    I agree with the observation that Usugrow should've stopped with the blacks and the whites, and maybe a few greys...as not to veer away too far from his awesome art.

    The blues, silver, etc. are just a bit more for me, but I had to score them as well.

    Maybe this is the reason why I couldn't muster enough gusto to commission a custom RI piece from another artist--its Usugrows art that gives that appeal to me to appreciate what he did with his toy.

    And the Usugrow Glow Bee isn't bad either.

    Yeah, I do like both of the Usugrow Bees...and I'm not a big fan of the Bees. But the graphic combined with the colors used on both (black/turquoise and yellow/turquoise) look really nice.
    That custom RI up above reminds me of a jugalo...or Mr. Cartoon...

    WOW! :shock: What's the story on that A.Brain? Proto? Unpainted version of a future painted release? Typically I don't like unpainted figures, or flesh colored vinyl, but I really dig this. Love the color of the brain. Interesting that it has the standard finger-arms, rather than the A.Brain arms. I'd like to see a boxing A.Brain too!
    Can I have it?

    Mash-up of various proto elements . . . the Astro Brain covering being the icing on the cake!

    Thank you :D So now I guess kontact has been bidding up my auctions :x

    The auction was a hodge podge of Base pieces. The body is GID and the arms are solid Yellow. I had to find a head piece for the Astro Brain cover and just went with the flesh head I had.
