This turned up through some random dealer who had no knowledge of its history. I have no background information on it, though the colors seem to speak for themselves.

If your for real, the answer is no.dockingbay97 said:forgive my ignorance of paint (chrome) stripped figures. Are they generally patch worked plastic colors like this underneath?
Sorry, I am not an expert like you. I can't follow the thread. Is it a prototype or a paint stripped figure and a fake.Todd_Hudson said:If your for real, the answer is no.dockingbay97 said:forgive my ignorance of paint (chrome) stripped figures.

Hey relax bro, I just wasnt sure if you were being serious or not, there were alot of people being sarcastic in their remarks. I answered your question just in case you were being serious, and I dont think I was a **** about it like your remark back to me would have suggested.

I am trying to educate myself but I can't follow what is going on here.
Sorry.

This is one reason I made this posting. The one on ebay ended at $202 and I'm sure that the winner thinks he got some Takara prototype. This has happened in the past and I see figures that look to be easily stripped of paint on ebay now and then.BillCable said:It looks almost the same colors as the stripped Takara 3PO that was on eBay a few weeks ago...

They probably had a large cavity mold of nothing but left arms, or nothing but right legs, etc. and shot them at different times using whatever color they had loaded.ChrisGeorgoulias said:Why on earth it's comprised of so many colors I couldn't tell you. And not only that, they're swirled. The arms are a mix of black and red, though it's hard to tell.

That doesn't always matter. This Lando:Julian said:I didn't comment on this, since I know absolutely nothing about the subject, but I was dubious about the copywrite and "Hong Kong" on it.
Glad you could have a sense of humor about itJohn_A_Graham said:PS: To Bryan, I just noticed your signature line, I think I laughed for a good solid five minutes. That's Great...![]()
We all got quite a chuckle when Chris showed up with this thing at Jeffrey's booth. By the way Chris, I guess this is now proof-positive that the brake fluid thing does indeed work, right?ChrisGeorgoulias said:A 24 hour soak in brake fluid, a straght pin for the crevices, and a toothbrush to clean it off and you have what I showed above.

Yeah, you're right on that. I guess what I meant to say was that seeing a bunch of wacky colors was a shock.flarida said:Knowing it was going to be plated, they could use anything they had. Probably used the leftover pellets from other jobs and also didn't bother to clean the machines between colors.
