Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Yep, pretty cool.
I like the skull, think I will eventually do a little repaint/detailing myself. Could be a nice little project.

In the meantime the Endo skull looks right at home next to my Stan Winston autograph.

Love it, thanks Chronicle. Very cool.

Yours looks like it came out better than mine


I took this nearly in front of my monitor so the quality looks shoddy. The w/flash version came out much better looking in picture form so I couldn't use it lol

I'm not upset in the least about it. Oddly I am now really looking forward to repainting it. I just have to figure out what that red color is. I think I have a gloss red for it that I might like better than the current shade. My chrome silver might have to do unless I find something better. Black and white is cake. This will be fun fixing

Oh, and this:



The flash brought out the colors more. They appear darker to the eye.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Got mine. The skull appears to have a paint blotch between the eyes on mine. Is that how it supposed to be or is mine a defect?

Mine isn't any different. Black paint is all over the board on mine. It makes you wonder the process of making them. Did the factory tell them to paint them this way? or was it just workers being workers? It's pretty common practice to see this kind of work for low end product designed for geeks and gamers. To us it's art. To them it was last month on a Monday or something. It's just work to them.

I'll be sure to use the 1:1 bust pictures as a guide...anybody know of a good solution method to strip paint? That's something I've never had a need to do and I'm sort of interested in painting this from scratch. I recall a video of a guy using a solution to strip chrome from a plastic part, but that's as far as my knowledge goes.

The skull alone costs close to $20 in Japan...The key chain added some real value to this package.

For the price, that's fine. The one I got looks good. 500,000 were made in very short period of time. It's expected. But a repaint can totally change that.

The teeth on mine are in bad shape. The paint on the front four is nearly gone. I plan a repaint.
