dammit. (today's haul)

[Tortricidae]

went out to get a book to take with me to work tomorrow, and figured I'd stop by the KB in that mall as I hadn't been there for a while. they had s25, and as I was flipping through them out of boredom, I noticed a redeemer tucked away behind the other figures. and it had full green wings, which was what I'd been looking for, but had given up on.

I tugged it off the peg and looked at it for a bit, thinking "shit! I wish I'd held off on getting the one I did from meijers the other week that has just plain white wings. oh well..I'll just put this one back, as I do have one already."

then, a little voice in the back of my head piped up, and proceeded to hold a "devil on my shoulder" conversation with me for the next 5 minutes.

"so get it anyways. you wanted one with green wings. look, you're holding one in your hand. you'll probably never see one with wings that green again. niiiiice wings. preeeeeeetty wings. greeeeeeeen wings. do it!"

"shut up, evil voice. I already have a redeemer. I don't need another one! it'd just be spending $10 on something I already have. that's like..most of a tank of gas. or movie tickets for hellboy tomorrow. and I just spent $12 on a book."

"GREEEEEN! PRETTY! and, might I remind you, you have a *job* now. you get a paycheck. you can afford to buy the figure AND a tank of gas AND hellboy tickets, AND another few books if you wanted without worrying about your bank account."

"no. have redeemer. not getting another one."

"pssst..perhaps someone from the board will take the spare non-green winged redeemer if you insist on having only one. and, once more..GREEN! PRETTY! aww go on. you know you want to. and I won't shut up until you do."

"oh..ok. fuckin voice."

so now I have two redeemers. one with nice completely green wings, and one with white and patchy mold spot green wings. can't decide if I'm going to hang on to the white winged one to repaint or not..if I decide to get rid of it, I'll offer it up here first.

Any way you can put a pic up Tort?

I thought I picked up the one that had the green wings, but now I am rethinking that position.

[chaserfan]

completely green wings? can you provide a pic? mine one has almost completely white wings and the other is just highlighted in green

[-megalithanod]

I have one that is severely highlighted in Green, and seen some others like it.

I am going to not like if I have to hunt this one down! [img]graemlins/grrr.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

If this is real and not just the specialty greenish tint of Gamestop and shit, I would have to visit a spa and do some tension-releasing shit and stuff.

pic forthcoming...

[Tortricidae]

I detached the wings and took pics of them with the white wings of my other redeemer..they're completely green...even the bottom feathers. there isn't a bit of white that's not green tinted on them, unlike the wings I've seen on most redeemers, which are mostly white with little green spots. my camera sucks, so excuse the quality of the pics.

[chaserfan]

wow, now I'm gonna have to find an all green winged one!
