Wow, I really NEVER noticed how skinny and sick Wolf's body looked:lol
 
Ok, I looked over it again, it does have copper marks on the helmet like slightly purple in color, you can probably see in in the photo below.

The eyes are black from the front but when you hold it up to the light they are brown/orange color.

The armour looks different to the pic you've posted, the one I have looks abit more like the anicom version which I believe is a lighter silver.

Alright, found something interesting. If you visit the sideshow website under Celtic and click the Sideshow 360 link under the main picture

This is exactly the same as the Celtic I've got, even the blades and helmet are the same, interesting....

Not exactly. The Celtic in those pics didn't look like it had wired dreads. Its armor was also a much lighter color and there were no black areas on the skin or hands. Based on the helmet pics, it seems recast-ish. Paint job is nowhere near that light and the copper is used mostly near lines in the mask. Not out on the forehead plate.

At least he actually looks good, compared to most recasts out there. Still kind of scary as far as the authenticity factor goes.
 
Why the ____ does the guy have green dread beads? The recast Celtic that is. And also Blade, I think some of the bio makers here do fine work. Some on ebay look horrid though.

Oh, I wasn't pointing fingers and I realize some people supply custom bios and recasts here. But selling a fake Celtic without mentioning it's a bootleg is the issue. Don't worry bro, you and Bobamike are totally justified here.
 
Chopper looks awesome. I wish these things weren't so ____ing expensive. They're worth the retail price but IMO they're not worth the price they've been going for of late.

However it's cool some of you guys have them. Enjoying the pictures! :)

Contact Seb (Elvis1976). He custom painted an Elder head into a Scar head for me and it came out looking amazing.
 
i was thinking of using brake fluid to remove the paint completelly and to not damage the texture of the actual , head , but i was not sure of doing it since my painting skills are to 1/32 good as the works ive seen here in the forum
