Just wondering if anyone has seen this.

The repaint with the glowing light effect is just nuts!

That's easily one of the best painted figures I've ever seen...ever. It's also the first time I've seen someone paint the glowing effect on a WFC figure (which is really odd that it isn't done more often).

Yeah i'm absolutely stunned in the quality and the effect that is produced in paint alone. Amazing.

That looks amazing, but those glowing effects have to be digital. There's no way someone could paint that so convincingly. In fact, aside from the extreme close-ups, most of the pics look very digitally-retouched.

LoL photoshop is quite a thing eh :P

Honestly this is a great paint job though..I'd put this right up there with Jin Saotome, FrenzyRumble and Sabrina Ng..

I think fluorescent paint was used on the glowing parts and was then placed under a blacklight for pictures.

Wouldn't that affect the normal colors too? Hmm, well regardless, it looks impressive indeed.
