how many Benny & Redbirds out there?

I keep seeing new colourways of Kathie Olivas' Benny & Redbird. From my guess, I think there are about 7? And of course, there were quite a few custom versions of both Benny & Redbird, separately and together as a set.

Here we see the blank version and an exclusive silver edition.

more Custom Red Birds

So, apart from the exclusive 25 pieces Mexican Red Birds that were released by Kathie Olivas, she was real sweet to personally released 8 additional customs of the Red Bird just couple of hours ago at the Kidrobot forum (page), partly due to popular demands. They are meant to be for colour testing purposes in the first place, as per mentioned.

A few generally liked pieces were gone pretty quickly. In a way, these made the first 25 pieces not that exclusive anymore. With the exact price tag, I would choose to purchase any one of these pieces instead.

check it





*Edit 23/4 : All gone now.
And I shall be saving up instead and aim for a larger piece. Top notch works there, Kathie.

Mexican Red Bird


News has it that Kathie Olivas' exclusive release for NYCC will be a hand-painted "Mexican Red Bird", limited to 25 pieces for a whopping $250. Reading through in the early morning, I thought the pricetag was for a set of Benny & Red Bird. I know it is quite limited and the art is of course amazing on it, but just for Red Bird??

Oh well, I know I'm content with these two:




But I still crave for a KO custom piece ;)
