"Spaceman Cid" Size: 2.08" Price: SOLD


This is one of the finest examples of Original Gongsta history that you will ever find available. This is an incredible early example of Mike's Acid Eater style from back in just his second year of making them. Mike had the face LOCKED down on this one, with awesome crazy eyes, the shiny fumed nose, the perfect tongue sticking out....and those TEETH! Ha ha, you rarely see the teeth any longer in Mike's newer eaters, as the teeth were a carry over from his early Goofball series (the precursor to the Acid Eater), and the teeth in this one are easily the best I've ever seen! But the best part, in my opinion, is that wild electric hair in there, ooooh yeaaaah!! Craziness at its finest, and this dude is totally frizzed out. Some marbles just turn out better than others, and this is one of those where Mike NAILED it and EVERYTHING came together perfectly. It's a serious gem, and a piece that is already worthy of a glass museum considering where Mike's career is rocketing off to. The backside of this one is gorgeous emerald fumed dots which turned to a sweet golden color in hand as they progress a ways up the side of the lens. Oh, AND this is a very large example as well! This one has it all, and if you want the best of the Original Gongsta in your collection, then this is the one to score. As good as these pics look, it's that much better in hand.
