He's had a lot of various custom furies over the past year.  I've had some series 2 figures off this seller and had no problems with him.
Personally, I think these custom paint jobs devalue the figure.

im still trying to find out exactly what colors the furies are

red
blue
purple
yellow
green/white
red/blue
orange

thats 7. are there any others?

To anyone who bought one of these (cause they have been on ebay a BUNCH of times in various versions):

Does the seller open the packaging re-paint them and then re-seal the package? Getting the "heat-sealed" clam shell open is hard. I just wonder how the packaging looks after. Ninth the SERIES 2 figs you bought, are they the regular paint-job? Or did he custom them too?

[triscender]

i asked the seller that same question. he told me they are resealed and you cant tell they were opened but there are never detailed pics on his auction. i feel that this isnt the case and for some reason i dont fully believe him

Mine were regular figs, mint in box (not anymore as they're stood on my shelf).
The original packaging on series 1 has a crimped heat seal.  Its not the type of machinery you'll have lying around at home.  Even the heat sealer where I work won't give that effect if I melted the package together.
Wouldnt mind picking up some unboxed series 2 furies if they're cheap so I can do my own paint job.

The packaging HAS to look horrible after re-sealing.
