I rescued this guy the other day and cleaned him up... he's been through a lot I'm going to give him a new lease on life, but I'm trying to decide how to keep some of that abused vinyl.
Ben, what the he'll happened to that mantis?? Damn, I know they don't get quite as much love as the other secret base fighters but that's brutal!
nice one Mark really wish i picked up thos glow mb mantis when they came out how many different version came in the blind bags
It's hard to say for sure, but I'm thinking it was the Green, Orange, and Pink like with the Mantis and then two special ones Gold and Silver. I don't believe this guy was in a blind bag, but I don't know where he came from. He might have been a gacha gacha prize from SB??
It looks like it was a black spray Japan Spirits mantis, yeah. It had been damaged, and consigned to a life as a paint test figure, but I figured I could spruce it back up. Truth be told, the vinyl looks like of cool from all the chemical horror its endured!
I have an extra for retail cost plus shipping if you want one. I picked up one from Mark, and then the threesome from Secret Base. Tremendous red glow.
Looks like you do have some nice pieces there, congrats And yes, the Secret Base thread deserves to come back to life, I'll add some pics as soon as I get to shoot them.
nice collection aldo, i still need to get that pumpkinmask fighter myself someday. keeps melting on the back burner for me...
Nothing fantastic but I finally got a 1/1 skull. I now know that my skull is bigger than the SB one cause my helmet is a bit too loose on it. This helmet has saved my life and am sad that I have to retire it because it is just too old to be safe any longer
Bert - does your skull have some flesh, a layer of skin, ears and some hair, whereas the SB one doesnt - and that might account for the 1/1 skull size discrepency?
