Bleu Toa Metru Onewa?

[Tommy_]

On this Dutch Ebay-like site, I just stumbled upon a blue Onewa. It looks painted, but I sent an e-mail and the seller claims he bought it like this.

Does anyone know if it's a collectible or if he's just lying?

Because it really does like he painted it.

Unless there's something I'm not seeing, this doesn't look blue to me at all; it's the regular color, but lighting makes it seem slightly bluish-grey.

I do know that people have gotten dark red copies of Metru Onewa from rip-off brands, but no idea about other colors.

I agree with Chro. It looks like the lighting is giving the set a bluish color. I haven't heard of any blue Owena sets, so I can't say if this is indeed a collectible. I highly doubt it that it is one though.

You can see the floor or whatever it is on hasn't turned blue, so I don't think it's the lighting. Also you can compare the colour to the picture he's standing on.

Uhm, I have to agree with the others, Tommy_. It's the lighting, IMO, that gives you the idea of it being blue. I can clearly see the brown here.

Um this looks pretty normal colour to me. Unless my Onewa is apparently blue hahahaha

[Dralcax]

How's the plastic quality? If it's rough or brittle, it might be a bootleg.

[Dual Cee]

That is just strangs lighting you can see the normal color on places where there's less light

[Tommy_]

I guess I'm getting colour blind then

I can clearly see a difference between the toa himself and the toa on the picture he's standing on, weird.

 

@ Dralcax, I don't know, someone is selling it online, I've never touched it.

The thing is, the plastic makes it look blue, maybe from the flash of the camera,or a window or something. The book is a different material and only has on angle if that makes sense. The only part it looks remotely blue is the corners of angles were the light hits.

I think the reason the set is appearing blue and not the table is due to the lighting and the fact the set itself looks very, very dusty.

[Makuta of Time]

It's just the lighting that's all. It's still brown.

[Toatapio Nuva]

Actually, I can see some blue on it. Looks like dust or dry watercolor. I once painted a brown Kakama with green watercolor and it ended up looking exactly like the parts in that picture. It would seem funny in this case, though.

[Mare Tranquillitatis]

Know what? Maybe, thinking about this some more, I actually can remember that sometimes, if you use a certain pieces a lot for MOCs, they kinda "lose" color. The golden parts of my Lhikan, for example, partially turned dark greenish. This may be one of those cases, though I still have strong doubts.

[Crazejason]

That piece of paper wont be affected by lighting as much as the actual figure

[Bfahome]

Does he actually claim that it's blue, or did you just infer it form the picture?

 

Because it just looks like a really dusty set with washed-out lighting.

I guess you're all right. If I think of all of the things I interpretate as blue as grey instead, it all makes sense if you think it's dusty. I don't know much about lighting.. I once thought a friend had purple hair, turned out to be lighting too >.<

I apologize for making it look like I thought it was all-blue. I don't see it blue like the Nokama set, haha. I guess the title should be Blue-ish

Thanks for all the replies everyone!

No problem. We all make mistakes. I can see where you are coming from and its a stated fact we all see colours differently anyway
