crazy, the discoloration is so consistent overall. Had to be submerged in something since sun damage is usually only present on one side and is blotchy. Im guessing some kid was playing and made this guy drown. haha

[Onyxiaphil]

I couldn't figure it out because if it would've been water with chlorine in it it would've affected the inner parts as well since the water should easily get there as well...............

BTW don't see this topic as a trigger to start messing up your original figs with chemicals or other scientific tests since that would result in the opposite of what I wanted to achieve with this topic

Haha no worries. It was a busted figure. The horns are chipped off and there is a piece missing on his back. I took the arms off though, they were still good.

for me it's definitly the result of a bath in a chlorine water for a few weeks or month !!

Congrats mate!!!!
You beat all of us, because we all got fooled by it.

But we cant say anything about the cause yet since the results of scientific test aren't finished yet (right Phil?).

Are you from CSI or something??

Next time I'll make a competition out of it, but I need your ID first to make sure your not specialised in it LOL

Wow this really surprised me.
I was on the side it was a Spanish variant.

Sucks to be out so much money on it.

[Ericnilla]

now i know to get pics of the arms pulled out before i go after any variants.

[jkaris]

The good news is that if it DOES end up being a chlorinated water thing, then you can get some kick-ass variants on the cheap.

[TOPHER]

Uhhhh....did I say $350......I meant $3.50
Ya,ya,that's it $3.50.

Still it's a nice story and I really like the colors on
the Bisson,sorry it wasn't a true variant.

That's wild! I was hoping for the real deal. Maybe the bath will get some cool mutant BBs... I'm curious.

[Onyxiaphil]

Oh wow! I forgot about that bison I left outside. I'll go check on it now. FOR SCIENCE!

[Onyxiaphil]

Well, after less than a week under the sun and in pool water. Here are the results...

And we have a Winner good job mate that must have been what happend but just for bit longer. Lol i love how excited we all got for this. Good times. Jay

[Onyxiaphil]

The yellow doesn't seem to be affected as much. Its going back outside but I'll switch the pool water for bleach this time and see what happens.

Totally agree with this one.

Man that sucks, though you really had found something.

[Beastformers]

Yours looks good enough to pass for a real variant. I wonder what really happened to it. The blue looks real sharp on yours and not washed up like the test subject.

[TOPHER]

Things I have to do tomorrow....
brush my dentures....go to the hardware store....
pic up some chlorine.

Is this another pool victim?

No that's one of SIDS toys. Child abuse.

This looks more like a lightning issue from the picture itself although the Danger Dog is known in two skin colors (no true variant to me) of which one (this one) is the more lighter skin color while the other one has the more dark skin color. Most have been related to a different factory (country) where these where produced but both can be considered as general common figures.

[Draznar]

Are you planning on selling the figure?

Or are you going to keep it as a "lesson learned" and cool conversation piece?

Well TOPHER recalled his $350 offer which was actually close to the price I was looking for......

I've payed 25 euro for it and waited months for this figure to arrive, which in the end turned out to be not worth 'anything' but to some pieces/figures within your collection you just get attached due to the history or story behind them. And you can say in this case its indeed a figure that learned me a lesson, but I'm glad it was not just me learning a wise lesson but a lot more boardmembers. So due to that he has owned his place within my collection and he's standing proudly inbetween the true variants.

If I had to sell it I would need 25 euro to play even on him which is a price none is willing to pay for him and even if there's someone willing to pay it I still would hang on to it because the experience and story behind it is much more valuable to me.

So its not for sale, sorry.
But there are enough tips and tricks out here to make your own

[Draznar]

Touche! Enjoy your blue bison then and hopefully nobody else gets hit by one of these guys, eh?
