I always wanted this but it was stupid money back in the day, this seems cheap. Mind you it is opened...

I have the feeling somebody just flocked a normal Stump Smash themselves and is selling it as the limited edition one.. Anybody got one can tell from the picture?

I'm inclined to think it's real. Seems like the effort of flocking it (and making it look that good) wouldn't be worth that fairly low asking price...

You could request additional pictures from the Seller.

Thing is, it's opened...

I could flock one myself if I wanted (you have all seen my customs!) so not sure about paying £35 for one that could simply be something somebody else made. If it was still sealed etc it would be a nice collectable...

Ho hum. Guess I will leave it and spend the money on Swap Force figures IF THEY ARE EVER AVAILABLE IN THE UK!!!

Jeezus. Not even Wave 2 are around yet. I want Fire Kraken and Grilla Drilla.

It looks just like mine. I'd say that's a pretty good copy if it isn't legit.

If you're gonna flock anything, go for a wireless giants portal. They look beautiful flocked in green, or with a bit of white around the edges like snow. =]

Hah, thanks for that idea.

I had hoped to make a nice islands type display stand with green flocked grass. Never had the time though.

I think fitting the portal inside the ground so it appears like a pool level with the floor would look cool.

Lol, I meant the "floor" of the display stand not the actual floor of the room smilie

My boys are 4 and 8 so I understand the issues!

It looks real to me I have one in the package right beside me. Besides why would someone fake a green flocked stump smash? Better yet just buy one from ebay from America that's going for only between 25.00 to 55.00 dollars.

Yup, that's the ultra rare Flopped Stump Smash. Only about 3 or so of those actually exist.

Nah, that's just the little peg attached to his foot. You'll see the little slot on the base, where it fits.

I've seen them between ($USD)30-50. For me it does not really matter real or fake in this case, simply because it is out of the box.

One should have seen the expressions on my kids faces when I explained to them about mint condition, and that if we got one we would not be treating it like normal. smilie Though I did mention that if they paid for it they could do as they pleased. I also noted they should not cry to me when it is relatively worthless on resale.
