Not much to say that hasn't already been said. I just want you all to know, I share this grief you're feeling right now. I can't think of another storyteller or artist who has had as much an impact on me. What other mangaka could put out (sometimes) only a couple updates a year and still...
PO is open for 2 weeks on this one. If they hit 1000 orders for the Ex, it closes after two weeks and then they'll do a last chance weekend for any stragglers. If it doesn't hit the 1000 in 2 weeks, they'll leave it open until they start producing them. Then validating your order is how you...
Yeah, I've always felt the old Art of War transformed Zodd's have had pretty decent faces. Not quite sure what it is about the Prime1 that's off to me, though. Maybe the top of the nose/width compared to the width of the lips above the teeth? Can't quite put my finger on it. I definitely...
Zodd looks huge, but not liking the face or the overall texture. I feel the the relatively tiny AoW Zodd's were better in many ways. I'm sure he looks more impressive in person, just my initial thoughts seeing the pictures.
I agree that the base is pretty weak for Artorias, but the statue itself is very good. Nice details, good paint app (again, aside from the base) and the pose is pretty much adapted from the pre-enemy toss in his fight intro. As far as F4F statues go, I think they did a great job on Artorias...
I figured I'd post the last updates I saw on this. It will definitely be an action pose, which is nice considering Prime1's is more of a static/museum pose.
Portraits (I believe these may already be approved):
WIP pose:
I don't have any of their past statues, but of all the Marvel, DC, TMNT, Transformers, etc that they've released, this has definitely got the busiest bases they've done (that I can remember). Even if they have some kind of way to only place certain items on the base, I can't imagine it would...
Haha, the stare is odd and I agree with you on characters. There's only so much I can take of the same 4 characters in alternate poses/armors. I really hope they spread the love.
I'm interested to see what they do for scale and price on these. My first purchase from F4F was their Classic...
