A generation of independent makers took over the old factories and the old methods, pouring small runs by hand and painting each figure with spray and brush. Releases are sold at events in Tokyo or by ballot, often in runs of a few dozen, and a colourway is rarely repeated. That scarcity, and the visible hand in every painted example, is why these figures are followed so closely by collectors abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marmit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skull Head Butt, Brain X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaint:\u003c\/strong\u003e One off, as described\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes are measured by hand; please allow a small margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo conspicuous marks or stains are recorded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eAB (clean, no conspicuous marks)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/de\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaker and edition are given as the previous keeper describes them and as the marks and header card in the photographs support.
