Uwe, please confirm that you're not considering a bid on the mutilated Ripper as well!   not to say that this G3 is mutilated but it's definitely under developed.   ;)

The prototype character (and only that) does it for me I have to say. This thing is embarrassingly ugly, but it's a part of their product history. And this specimen is in good condition, besides I don't have a natural Grabber or G-3 yet, though I readily admit that a non-crippled one would be a worthier acquisition.

I suppose if you placed the crippled G3 in a rack stand with it's fully developed brothers, it may go unnoticed for awhile.

It will test the social behaviour of my Rippers, G-3s and Grabbers as a group. Will they gang up on the crippled specimen in a darwinistic instinct to eradicate all that is weak and feeble?

Close, they will taunt him and call him a girl since he's obviously missing  part of his anatomy......... ;)

Hey that reminds me of one of my favorite Dilbert cartoons



I think I might have actually worked with the guy the manager in that strip is modeled after. 

Luckily, I never met the nurse.

If you sized it down enough, it might make a great bottle opener.


PS: I was actually outbid - would you believe? Can't say I'm disheartened about it ...

Someone else being willing to pay more is almost as disturbing as you bidding on it.
