Gyre's Holy Grail Gallery.

ok I'm only doing this once.
EDIT:
UNLESS YOU'RE A FRIEND (or a mod) don't bother PMing me with questions about these. That's as elitist as I get. Otherwise hopefully I have a reputation of sharing and caring.
hehehehh.
Not many people are going to do this.
(especially since I had to drive downtown to get them from the bank
and now I have to go take them back).

I don't keep them in my home because I have a curious son, crazy dogs,
friends and family (who may not know better), and because honestly I'm more concerned with preserving these things than anything else.

anyways... these are my personal holy grails.
yes some of them are actually holy grails... but the others
are just things I really love.
Most of them have no actual value.
Prototypes are odd that way. Maybe in 20 years my prototypes
will have some value but I really don't care either way.
I like the process and I enjoy the history aspect.
a few weeks ago I was planning on posting pics of these but I took the pics at the bank and then was asked to erase the pics or hand over my camera (cuz you can't take pics in a bank... which I knew cuz i used to work at one... but wasn't really thinking about it at the time).
but this morning I saw the PDD thread so I figured what the hell.
I'm a stay at home father... it's (almost) nice out.
anyways...
pictured below are the following:
Sigma 6 Dusty (I have the accessories I just didn't feel like going through all that)
Sigma 6 "Blue" Stone
City Strike Snake Eyes prototype
Painted Spasma Prototype
ME Iron Klaw Prototype
Original Pimp Daddy Destro
Rocky Balboa 2up sculpt (authenticated by Bill Merklein himself. yes this sculpt has made an appearance before. yes it's the same sculpt not a second one or different one).

some of it is DEFINITELY a matter of taste. heheheh.
I am not fond of the Dusty aesthetics as much as its
part in the pre-production/prototype/unreleased/canceled etc
aspect of things. and considering all the canceled threads
going on... I figured it was appropriate.

I think rhetorical questions are acceptable.

Unless of course you really don't know if he got that Rocky mock-up or not, and you were actually asking that question. Then he'll shut you down, homes!

You cheeky bastard. I figured you had a PDD, but a carded PDD? That truly is a holy grail. The Rocky 2up easy to understand the rarity given it's one of a kind, but I don't think many people on here will grasp how hard it is to come across a carded PDD. That's like a grail of a grail.

What is the "Painted Spazma Prototype"? I've never heard of it before. What series was it supposed to be in? He's got a cool TARGET-esq look to him.

(I hope since this wasn't a PM it's ok to ask this question)
