9" DUD BUDs & NADEs from Jamungo: $25 shipped!

I think this is sorta rad: Jamungo recently got a batch of GID BUDs and NADEs in from their factory that were supposed to glow, but didn't.

So instead of trashing the figures, they sprayed a stenciled "DUD" onto the face of each one and they're selling each for $25 incl shipping!

Not only is that brilliant, but it saves the planet a little and also allows us collectors to pick up some rare pieces of vinyl cheap! These can be considered customs since they are all stenciled with spray paint and all will come out a little different...

Jamungo's paypal ID is sellmethat@jamungo.com and all ya gotta do is send them $25 and specify DUD NADE or DUD BUD.

How cool is that?
