Check out this Invisible Beaker

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1751953157

Notice the lack of pupils. I also find it strange that this particular Beaker has been conveniently removed from his baggie.

Here's an Invisible Beaker in baggie:

Remember when I asked Ken if the VC Beaker was clear under the paint (Ken confirmed that VC Beaker is clear through and through, no opaque plastic under the paint)? Looks as if someone may have done some experimenting. Either that, or there's another variant out there for those who have the completist disease so bad that even Betty Ford couldn't cure them of it!

Be careful out there guys.

hmm.. interesting.

I've got a bagged VC Beaker in front of me (saw it at a toy show, just had to have him, so at least I'll have every beaker sooner or later :) ) and from what I can tell(he's still in the bag) his legs aren't made out of the clear plastic.

Well, you know the factory...that could easily be a factory error with no eyes.

Where's my plunger....?

If it was a factory error, that dude has just sold about a $300 error figure for $99 without realising it !

Hello,

My name is Larry Horn, and I was not going to comment on this.

I am the seller and it is not a forgery, I was a guest at the party, with a friend who works in the industry. That one was left behind by a VIP who was playing with it. He left it at the party, so I snagged it up. As for the price, it was found money so I don't care all that much. The buyer hasn't paid yet so time will tell

HAHA! I like the part where he says that everyone at the convention was DRUNK! HAHA! For $156.00 I'd say he made a great deal.

Dare I suggest a change in your own moniker? How does Luke Horn-y suit you?

Sounds cool - i've always got the horn. I take it you discovered the other word that can't be said here then ? ;-)

Virgin works now - it's such a popular term in the Muppet fan community that it couldn't be restrained !

Well then I will just have to wait for horn-y to receive the recognition it deserves.
