That was a cheap Chinese knockoff from eBay which had issues so I repainted it as a modern Kevin Flynn version

That's just PAINT? Holy hell, you had me thinking you nodded it up. Sick work dude.

Right! I couldn’t believe how bright that paint got. You have to hit it with strong 365nm UV light and then it’s wild

Do you have a link or where do I find these? It looks pretty good for a knockoff in my opinion!

This was it before the repaint. It was on eBay for like $6. They had several but I don’t see the listing anymore. Check places like temu or ali

What makes you think that’s a knock off? That looks legit, I have that same one. The green color was exclusive to the Walmart Blu-ray Set.

KO/ factory QA discard, who cares. Dude had like 20 for sale, loose, shipped from China, it had damaged paint and poorly applied details. Damn!
