Which means they probably own the new release and obtained a replacement portrait.

RARE PROTOTYPE - it could be. Or it could be BS as i don't think Sideshow release their prototpyes to anyone. From what i can gather, they won't even release their 'Out of the Box' pieces either.

The seller's history isn't that of a typical flipper, or statue/toy collector. kemscloset2016 typically likes to sell dresses, shoes, earrings.

Isn't 'Kem' a males name? combine that with 'Closet' and a seller selling dresses, shoes, earrings.. i'm thinking 'cross-dresser'

He said "prototype" to mean the OG head (that one on X-Force var.) with the exclusive version.

So confused, but the pics show the actual prototype from the events. And the seller said prototype on the title.

The seller is obviously attempting to justify the high price by selling the piece using images from a Con. In reality it is the original with the new portrait. I guess they will keep the new black variant and make money by selling the original blue Psylocke (assuming someone is foolish enough to part with that amount of cash).

It's called blatant false advertising. The seller doesn't have the prototype, yet is claiming that's what they're selling.

They simply took a production of each version and put them together to create this so-called prototype.

Kind of funny because that's the version SS should have released, one of the bigger screw ups they've ever made.
