One can not deny that its one of the most beautiful boxes around... having a fully painted work of William Tucci gracing its back, truly breathe taking.

Art Work found at the back of the box, so tempted to cut this box up and frame this. Its truly a work of art!

The sculpture on the other hand, can be appreciated when its positioned side ways. It has the essence of the based art... lyrical, sweet, poignant and elegant.

yes this piece arrived damaged but with the partial refund given to me, i am able to buy the right materials to clean this baby up.

When the statue is fully fronting you, it become something else. Not much to my taste, but for some... it can be what they are looking for

The paint of the statue is at par, just the right flatness and gloss. My only complain is that they painted the ears white, in comics Shi's ears are left with its flesh color.

I am giving this very sensual piece a 4.5 out of 5, though it is a lovely bust, it can be appreciated only at certain angles.

The bust stands 7 inches high and is very much 1:6 scale.

Just a comparison of the face based on CS Moore's Shi statue made in the late 90s.

Looks pretty good but they really messed up on the symbol at the back.
