The cynic in me wants to say "this auction isn't for a test shot, or a factory pilfer job, but just a regular old viper with user added gold paint."

thats what I was kinda thinking, too. I did just the same job, if not a little better with some gold arcrlyic in about 10 minutes, and I got the goggles looking nice, too.

i don't normally call foul on figures....but you can clearly see a dot of gold paint in the center of the helmet.
this could have been a factory error, but i'm putting my money on it being a custom job. not that it is a bad custom, just don't think it is a leaked figure.

If you only have one chrome-face viper, then it's real easy to make an awesome viper officer with Tamiya clear yellow. The one I did stands out nicely from the rank and file.

The paint error you mentioned proves nothing either a lot of the unreleased figures we have seen have had small paint errors. Last edited by SNAKE EYES; 06-09-2009 at 05:54 PM.. |

Almost $50 for this figure?! Wow. You could buy a few lots of paint for that and make an army of them yourself.

i swear people will pay anything for a unreleased fig, and this is like the easiest custom you could do on your own.

That is crazy almost 50.00 for an an incomplete Viper with a gold face-mask.
The sad thing is if people payed attention to unitedwell923's auctions he has been putting up 1 or 2 unreleased figures for auction then he sees what they go for and then he puts the rest up at a "Buy it Now" price based on what the auction went for. Example: He recently had just the gear for the Alley Viper and it went for 12.00 and change now he has the AV gear for 12.99 "BIN" Example 2: Resolute SE went for 228.00 now he has Resolute SE for 230.00 "BIN" Example 3: ROC Flash went for around 34.00 and change now he has him for 35.00 "BIN" Oh well I guess hindsight is always 20/20 and no one knew, so no harm no foul and it's not 100% accurate, but I would say it happens about 90% of the time I bet he will have more Gold mask Vipers for 50.00 "BIN" Last edited by SNAKE EYES; 06-12-2009 at 05:44 AM.. |
