Endoskull Roll Call...

[abnpredator]

So, are you going to get the Wolf? With Predator in you screen name, I figured you as more of a Predator fan.

Most definately dude. I'm a Pred guy all the way, no doubt. I just don't limit myself to one specific category know what I mean? It's all good, Wolf bust time!!!!!!!!

Great! If you've seen my collection, you'd see I have a problem limiting myself to one specific category.

Fair enough. Just leave the bunny OUT OF THIS. lol

Paul-

Nice TerminatorFan !!!

Congrats Spen! They're gonna look great together

Will do. They may say it's proprietary, but I'll let you know if they say anything worthwhile.

Thanks for inquiring with Sideshow! Please keep us posted on what they say about the matter

I bet Felmarweta has multiples of both

I bet he has a full dozen of each. Wouldn't that make a cool picture!

[shawn-ray]

Thanks for asking. It's been a bad few days, pain, as well as other significant, but private issues. How are you!

sorry to hear man...I hope things get better for!

I'm doing well, woke up late today...had a casino night last night and we ended up going to Denny's like at 4AM

lots of discussion in this thread today

True, they are about the same price really. $789 is the cheapest I can find the Wolf bust for. The Alien Queen doesn't pop up often at all anymore, letalone MIB sealed. The Queen is /1500 while the Wolf is /750, so obviously Wolf is more "rare" but at this point it's harder to get the Queen..

I don't know.. I'm stuck.

Hmmmm I should probably ask felmarweta (sp?) since he has both...

hey abnpredator-

PMed ya back!

i cant believe how good these look cleaned up! now i have to get another one!

do it! do it!

 

[FelMar]

Updated picture showing the addition of the 'clean' combat endobust, I also revised post 1 on page 1...

In all honesty...

I think the one that has the brightest shine would be the ICONS skull. I took a good look at it today and the chrome just jumps at you!

 

[Reinhardt]

I just pulled the trigger on one of these babies thanks to you guys!!



Now off to get some Equate wipes.

 

[Reinhardt]

anyone tried to remove the rainbow from the clean version with the non-acetone pads?

 

[Rizob]

For the people who have cleaned their combat skull, what did they decide to do with the black 'recessed' part in either side of the head?

left it alone...
the 'clean' combat is the one all the way to the right.

good question, Neehar...
I don't think I'm gonna try it with mine.

 

[abnpredator]

Well fellas remember a few pages back I mentioned getting the Alien Queen or the Wolf bust next?

The Queen Alien sold and I decided against the Wolf bust *for now*

Here's what I got-

It does seem to look darker on the combat ones though, as though there is an additional paint application. I presume using even the non-acetone cleaner on it would probably ruin whatever is under the paint too though.

Also, it doesn't look like you attempted to clean up where they've 'dirtied up' the silver part of the eye directly around the red lights. Did you think that the finish wouldn't withstand the cleaning chemicals as well as the rest of the skull?

 

[shawn-ray]

this ^^^^ is amazing! the cleaned up one looks better than the chrome one!

 

[Balsquat]

Wow!!!
You won that????
I was gonna bid on it but the guy refused to send to Canada, a shame because the price on these have really jumped since most sellers are not willing to ship this piece, Congrats!

Congrats man, be sure to post before and after shots for us.

I left it alone on mine too. I know there's probably some spots on mine that me and my brother missed, but it's all good. From what we can see we got most of it off except the really tough spots we couldn't get to very easily.

nope, I didn't attempt anything around the red lights of the eye...I was avoiding that area because I didn't want to touch the red with the nail polish remover.

Does cleaning the endoskull hurt the items collectible value at all? Since it is not original condition from Sideshow.

Also, I actually used nail polish remover with acetone. I had no idea that acetone was harsh. I guess I was lucky because the acetone did not hurt the endoskull at all. It looks perfect. But I am wondering if there might be any future problems because I used the acetone??
