It sold for less.  Went for best offer.  Probably still too much though.    These pop up for much less than that.

The black and silver paint can be rubbed off with a fingernail and a little patience.  These slick-feeling buckets don't hold paint very well without an undercoat.

At least he didn't paint over the factory spray.

The popularity of this piece keeps it pricey, along with being really neat as a crossover monster and Halloween piece.

Yeah. Its expensive , but not rare  by any means.   

Looks like the painted example was one of the unpainted versions.

Those are thin spots in the blow mold plastic.   Esp common on his nose.

Yes, they are thin and worn at the nose typically, but it still looks green.

Looks a bit green, buts it not.  Someone got really pooped out here if they paid anywhere close to 1k.

I was referring to the painted example which sold for 500.   I also saw a shattered one sell for about 400 a few months ago...it was in pieces!

And it will sit there forever at that price.   Seller must be on crack.

Paint also looks a bit suspicious.   Its much too flat and dark.  No sheen to it like factory blow mold paint.

I hate it when somebody sells something for $1,000 and then charges you 10 bucks for shipping.  :P
