Two feet of tattooed PainThe Butcher of Ginza by Early Bird
The Pain figure platform is impressive; if, for no other reason, the vinyl form towers at two feet tall. So when well-known custom collector Johnnyvinyl came up with an idea to customize one of these behemoths into a Yakuza & Samurai flavored butcher design, he turned to talented and detail-oriented artist Early Bird to oversee the process. The end result is a wonderful figure, from the ultra-realistic body tattoo down to the butcher's apron & knives. The bandages and blood marks are almost icing on this cake… that is, they would be, if it wasn't for the fact that Pain's iconic cowlick has been replaced with a beautiful Samurai-style topknot. This is a piece that Jonnyvinyl will surely appreciate for years to come and will likely make him the envy of many a collector. Backstory on Kidrobot Forums... [ read more ]
