This is on a ebay auction, im just posting the pics of this figure because im curious. Is this a custom?Looks to be some of the smoothest repaint work I've seen if it is?Was this some kind of exclusive maybe?It just caught my eye and stood out,normally I can say its a custom without any doubt but this time I cant.Looking for some of the veteran collectors to respond with input here.     Whats your thoughts. |

its severe discolouration that all, although somone will probably say its a new varient. The thing with plastic and paint is both are prone to absorbtion and this alters its metabolic structure (eg smoke, sunlight, cold, damp.) so this is whats happened here. Many toylines and collectables suffer from this, nonse so more than super nintendo collectors and vintage starwars collectors... vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/189ps, really nice lot there dude!!  |

Just discolouration.
If these types of cases were considered variants - I would be able to say I've seen 3 - 4 of each figure!

I thought that too.I guess we will call it discoloration.If it did'nt have that chunk missing from his back I would bid on this lot because I do feel its unique.But I think I will pass.

I've had this with many figures. In fact I have had a Ventura with the same problem. The weirdest I has was a White Shirt Hogan who's hands and face turned a whitish gray. Something was wrong with that figure as it smelled horrible too. I actually repainted it as a custom and sold it for $50US. Not bad for buying it for $1CAD.
