Should I Strip My Combat 1:1 Endoskull

[The_One]

Guys, if possible I need a few opinions.
I would love a "Clean 1:1 Endo but they just hit crazy dosh now so was thinking of "cleaning" my Combat version.

Do you think this will devalue the item, do you think I'm off my head for even thinking of doing it......Heeelllpppp!!

Someone advise me!!

Don't know about others but I would pay more for a cleaned Combat bust if it's done correctly.

I like the look of the combat one, more menacing. If you want clean version try going for the HCG version

 

[Bezzerkerr]

I will be cleaning mine (when i purchase one) IMO the clean is more attractive than the combat version. I don't see why it would de-value the piece (unless the buyer is specifically looking for the Combat Version).

People are drawn to shiny items.

Do what you want. These don't have edition numbers so they'll probably not go higher then retail.

Clean this one. If you decide that you like the combat one after just buy another one.

I miss my combat a little. I would say keep it down and dirty.

I have got a HCG clean version with box. Any idea how much this worth today?

What version ? With the blue leds ?

What version ? With the blue leds ?

Without led light and it play tune.

Some stores still have it for sale (BBTS had them till last month - now just the blue LED version). Just Google and you'll see prices.

I like the dirty look on my combat, plus I don't dust it very much so the paint hides my laziness...

Cleaned does look good though, badass bust any way you decide to display it.

Hi, its not mine but selling it for a friend, even with his generous discount I still can't afford a "Clean" one.....
So I settled for a combat but really love the shiny look of the clean one.

Wow, the voting poll has really split you guys down the middle!!

Keep voting!!!

it's a matter of personal taste, I cleaned up my combat endoskeleton...my fingers are still raw!

Quite simply, it wouldn't be the same piece. If the OP should ever have to sell, it's harder to sell modified or "custom" pieces than originals. However nice it turns out, it's still the combat version and says so.
