Gonna be tough getting one of these. They were produced in really limited numbers (20-50 I think) and only available at Design Fest 2008 in Tokyo. The paint is done by Itokin Park's friend Shef who does the most amazing job. They are painted on the interior of the toy rather than the exterior.

There have been a couple of other rainbow colour Luchas but they were done by kaiju artist Cronic and frankly I think they were an even smaller number and the colours weren't as well blended. Shef's rainbow graduation is something to behold!
Here's an example of the Cronic rainbow...

oh wait, what?! what am i missing?! there is one up for sale?! in japanese?! damn..my brother sleeps right now already over there in germany.
let me check this out!
@ yardarm51: thank you so much for bringing this up!!!! you are awesome!
...update...i was smart enough to put it in my cart, but when i want to go to the check out procedure, something written in RED pops up in japanese, which seems like a failure notice and i can't keep going :( -

i know, right?!
i just mailed them and then saw, that it can take up to 2 freaking weeks, till they answer me... wtf?! in 2 weeks that little guy is snatched away by somebody, who understands japanese and could figure this site out :(
i guess my chances to get him will be very little -

No, Sil, don't give up! I'm sure he's mented for you. BUT, I have to quote Yardarm; "Gonna be tough getting one of these."
Just relax! In 6 hours your brother wakes up in Germany, and everything will be fine...trust me! ♥ -
13 years ago
oh toy, thanks for giving me hope!
and yes, it is tough to get one of these, but i am trying already very very hard!!! for now, i did all i could do. my brother is hard to get hold of, i will try it tomorrow though :) -

This bear is yours! :) -
13 years ago
oh toy, you are the sweetest!!!
i just tried the check out again with the help of my online translator, but they don't let me through the system, because my zip code is not in japan, they don't recognize it and my us phone number not either...i am f***ed with ordering online.
now i have a little hope, that the workers of the online store answer my mail soon and help me out.
Toy, it late over there, where you are. get some sleep!!!!! :-* -
13 years ago
so, i talked to my brother. he could not help me much either and translated me the things, i already figured out on my own.
1 is in stock, there is no sign of shipping to the usa and the check out is only for people located in japan.
YARNDARM , if you read this, could you help me with finding the english version of that webpage, so i can check, if that one ships international? -

You're not alone, MC. This IS better than a soap. That night Sil was trying to get the Lucha Bear into her basket, I was biting my nails...and admitting...laughing at the same time. (Sitcom?)
But I was laughing with her, not at her!
Oh, I just looove happy endings. :) -

@MaquetteCity: did you read the whole comment section about this lucha bear here through?! you are nuts! :) and i am a SHE btw...

Sil, It's extremely limited. Only 30 pieces! And PP & Dan already have theirs. Hurry! You know, rare vinyl pieces are like an investment. The market price just keep escalating! In a few years you can sell it for the double price on eBay. ;)
-

toy (i know, you are not a toy ;) ), i just saw the limitation, thanks for your help and for bringing this beauty up on here! i would not have known about it otherwise
and i could not resist as well... 27 to go!
oh and i actually never think about selling the toys i buy..that is the wrong intension...
oh how i love this piece..can't wait to hold it in my hands -

Congrats, Sil. You sure know what is best for you! ;) And I actually feel like a toy at the moment! (LOL hysterically). I'll probably regret in a few days that I didn't get one, but the purple one is still my favourite, apart from the GID I already have. Secret Base kicks asses!

Slightly surprised uh huh. Maybe it's because of the financial crises? And this ain't a Ferg x Peters or Kaws for that matter. Who cares? I'm glad you guys convinced me to get one. Eagerly awaiting to hold it.
Oh, and Sil, when it comes to hiding toys from your man, I can tell you that it gets easier the more toys you get. Of course minis easily blend in with the others. And with the big ones I usually just lie about the retail price. *blush* -
13 years ago
Don't get me wrong, I picked it up because I love it, not on the hope it would double in value.
I'm just surprised that a secret base piece limited to 30 units, didn't sell out in 5 minutes.
Guess people don't have the toy budget they used to. I know I'm cutting down, or at least trying to.
Jesus, that makes it sound like a drug habit lol! -
13 years ago
hahaha jazzydan :D oh man, i needed a laugh today! toys are like drugs my dear..they get you addicted very easily and i am sure, everyone on here feels the same as you do.
@ jan, i don't have soooo many toys yet to hide it well and i am very very bad at lying.
and regarded to the surprise, that it is not sold out yet, i wonder, if they even made that release so public and spread the word about it. -

Polite correspondence:
"Hi Jan,
Thank you for your email,
We are very surprised with your answer.
The fact is that we received all the Skulls with protection, and we didn’t open the whole 30 pieces, as we opened a couple of them and everything was perfect.
I’d suggest to send us pics of the details, and we’ll see with Secret Base if we can do something about that.
Sorry about this issue."
Now, I only hope Sil and PP will get flawless ones!!! -

I really missed out on this one! going to keep my eyes out for another cool one
-
13 years ago
oh no TOY, wtf am i reading there?! your skull seems to be a big fail production :( this breaks my little heart!
i am very glad to read though, that artoyz is willing to do something about it and contacts secret base. i hope, you get either your flaws fixed or somehow, they pull out a skullhead number 31 and melt your away...
i don't have mine, yet. the toys from the netherlands took 3 weeks to get here and this one comes from france. but i am very anxious right now, that mine is not perfect as well ... hmmm :-/ -

sooooooo...i just picked up my skull head...it has a minor dent on the left side of the forhead, which seems to be something, every single skull head has. and on the back and right side are some bubbles in the vinyl (not on the surface), which might be normal as well.
i am in love with this piece! now i just have to hide it somewhere till my birthday...
i want more skull heads!!!!!!!!!
and you toy, keep us up to date about your sad crying thing. -

You don't sound over excited about it either, huh?... The Skull I mean......not your hiding
-
13 years ago
i am happy. i just did not expect the dent on the left part of the forehead. i checked pics though and saw, they all have this little dent and a mini dent next to the dent..so enough with the dents.
and i just wrote all this down (bubbles included) to make sure and check on you guys, if i am not wrong with my observation, because you have so many flaws on your skull.
i would love to collect many more of them though, that is for sure! alone the size is impressive, TOY :) -

I'm so, so sorry I got this wrong! Jean-Marie Sauve is the artist and Kaiju Bento is the manufacturer. The sculptor wasn't listed either from the looks of it. I'm hoping a site administrator or moderator can fix my mistake, sorry I'm just really overtired...
