Sideshow T2 Endo Skull: Combat vs. Regular

[PTK]

So i broke down and decided to get the Sideshow T2 Endoskeleton Life-Sized Bust instead of buying food or finally getting health insurance (yes I realize that was stupid, and i probably should seek help for my prop obsession...but i would rather spend the money on props instead of a shrink )

ANYWAYS... the only one i could find for 500 bucks with shipping and all was the combat version (i would have rather got the regular version and do my own weathered paint application) but i have a few questions so if you have both or either version, please let me know

1. Do both version have that "rainbow" crap going on? or is it just the regular version?

2. Are the "eye balls" on the combat version completely black or just very dirtied?

3. Is the bust real chromed metal? If it is i would think it would be easy to clean off some of the weathered paint if i wanted to? Like with some alcohol or acetone? But if the chrome is just paint or plastic the acetone would burn right through

4. Which version do you prefer and why? And feel free to post pictures!

I would be careful when cleaning them to mint or semi-mint, yes you can do it. Most do have the rainbow effect which is ok by me to a point. Some were worse then others. Yes you can take the damage off but they made this run (like other battle damaged runs) because when they chrome these sometimes there are imperfections when they go though the QA, etc. Well why toss out something thats still an endo head so they "battle damage" to hide the imperfections and bam there is your limited edition and the company still moves the product even if its not perfect. Life size offers the same thing but there are some changes made to those via new BD parts when needed.
