Maybe it's a half n' half deal? Or maybe Mori was like "Damn, this black looks awesome! I'll take a few greens away and just paint em!"
so right now, me and miami got black ones and blood and lash got green. tie-breaker anyone or are we the only ones who thought this ugly-ass brawler was cool?
I recognize that Lash is The Voice Of Authority here, ... but, I doubt it - that's just not my luck! It is very weird that there are both though, I wanna hear some more data from other Shinto owners ... CC
The black one is crazy. Looks like it's carved out of lacquered wood or something. I think the pic of the one in the Japanese doll case sold me. I would pick one up, but they seem to be a bit spendy and unavailable now.
That did it for me. Funny how a photo can sell a toy - In the flesh though, this one not only does not disappoint, it's better than that pic. Much bronzer in any decent light, or black in the slightest shade. Lash, let's have a blog update on the Shinto-Color Divide! CC
I wish I was the "voice" but where gonna have to wait and see if we can get data to chime in here on this. But yes it is pretty nutty that there actually is a solid black vinyl version, and some which where painted from the green vinyl. I wonder why ? The only thing that I think of off the bat is .... that means there can be a painted black vinyl version coming ... or a true unpainted. And even though the pics from maxtoy of the proto sold me... the pic of him in the doll case blew my mind. And now that I have them in hand they look even better than pics could expain.... ESP the black version !! Its super gangsta !!! And yes I hope to have some time this weekend to up date my blog as there will be a TON of stuff I need to catch up on and I'm looking forward to it
There's one on the Bay now that may see reduced action because it's spelled shintou-san in the title - closes late tonight, currently at $80 with one bid. CC
