I'm sorry, but this is one of the most ridiculous statements I've read in a long time.

So, let me get this right, rather than buy this, from a company with a relatively good track record for customer service, and quality of production piece vs promotional piece! You'd rather hold out for Sideshow, which is at best the polar opposite of the above, at worst, fast becoming the "joke" of the collectibles world?!?

Yep, smart move :thumbs2: :confused: :banghead: :( :stick:

Ok, ordered the EX. Looks amazingly fun and dynamic. Gaming Heads is on a roll with it's statues. Only thing is that their value seems to be off for international customers. They seem to sell to re-sellers really cheap, so ordering of their site is immediately costing you double compared to buying from a local shop.

Ex boils down to €500 incl shipping and fees. Regular can be bought for a ridiculous €280... seems off to me.

Nonetheless, bought the ex and hope it will remain its value if I some day need to sell it. 500 pieces is pretty nice.

addic
04-23-2015, 01:09 PM
Thats the reason why I am going to cancel my order at Gaming Heads as soon as it is available at european retailers like gator.nl. It is MUCH cheaper to buy Gaming Heads statues at retail as long as you don't want the EX.

In this case I don't need the EX at all.

Hunterkingxxl
04-23-2015, 01:16 PM
So you as a German buy statues in the Netherlands? Not Kingplayer?

But yeah, no Ex = retail at local shop for Gaming Heads. But again, it feels like I'm being taken for my money when you look at the difference. On their site, the prices are equal, but for re-sellers, the price seems way lower.

Anyways, kinda hope they keep under the radar a bit. Feel like GH is a bit of a hidden Gem at the moment.

I'm in for this one! Classic Lara kicking some butt! I checked out all the pics on their website. The pose and face look great to me from all angles. She looks tough and focused which are the qualities I love about Lara. I feel sorry for who or what is on the other end of those pistols!

I love the reboot version of her character too, but just wasn't feeling the likeness on that statue. Hope they take another stab at that version for the game's sequel.

Great - I didn't even notice with the previous Lara Croft statue, but I see now the reg can be had for at least $70 less than I paid for it via Gaming Heads. The EX doesn't look like it held value at all given that one recently went on Ebay for $90 less than retail. To top it off, I have yet to display it with the exclusive shotgun.

I may be going for the reg on this one.

Gamingheads and F4F have the tendency to be sold cheaper on the aftermarket after release, that is true. But after while the prices of their statues skyrockets (not all, but a decent few). I'm very happy with their customer support, service and quality, so they deserve it to purchase directly with them.

@Hunter:

I buy the statues where I get the best price. :)

I took gator.nl as an example as I ordered Gaming Heads' lunging Kratos from them for 229,- Euro (I think) and bought the Kratos bust a few weeks ago for 339,- Euro.

Wow what a statue. The professional paint is amazing. Wish the face was cuter or had more of a resemblance to her classic look or even her face from the non Definitive Edition version of the last game.

Easy purchase since I missed out on the original SS one, face looks great, body looks great, pose is perfect for a game character. Only 1500 world wide (500 ex + 1000 reg) so that's not a bad ES... I would bet in a few years this will spike in price in the aftermarket....

The previous one was pretty dark and non-sexy so it doesn't surprise me it's not doing that great on the aftermarket.... but this one looks more like the original Lara so it should do better in the long run...

Wow, somebody's pantys are all up in a bunch. Sorry if my taste in statue companies offends you lol. I have the two previous SS Lara Croft PF's and I love them. So I would love if they released a new PF from either the reboot or the new game coming that's coming out to go along with the two I already have in my collection. If you don't care for them fine. I understand about the gripes towards SS and hopefully they can turn things around but does that really make my hope for a new PF from them ridiculous? Of course I don't want it to come with googly eyes or messed up paint but SS has and can do some nice statues.

On a side note:

I think its possible that the aftermarket price of the first Gaming Heads Lara is going to drop now the new Lara is going to be released. I would appreciate that as I am looking for one atm. :D

To be honest, I have two lara's from ss (snow day and the second pf) and they are really nice (still looking for the first pf). I really like the new one from gamingheads, so I'll breaking the rule of each character once in our collection again.

@Valkyrie .. gamingheads is addictive... If I'll have al my pre-orders in we will have 16 statues made by them I think.

That's the whole point! Buying a statue shouldn't be a gamble, but with SS it certainly is. I wouldn't mind, but even when they get it wrong the customer service seems very poor.

Hell, if you want to reward such piss poor performance with renewed custom, have at it......things will never change while people keep rolling the dice with them......meanwhile, back at the Bat cave, there are upcoming producers who need support from our funds. If nothing else, these companies provide competition for SS, and when they start to really grab market share, this is when SS will have to up its game.

Wild sex with ScarJo couldn't convince me to buy a SS product! In fact, there isn't a licence or figure they could own or make, that would convince me to buy from them!

I'm now at the 12 registered mark .. so 3 pre-orders coming in would be nice (now got lara, tali, liara, kratos on throne and sly) would get me past it :) Hope I'll get there before kratos comes out, would make a difference again.

Hell yeah, she looks great! EX ordered. I'll be breaking my one large-scale statue per character rule, but.. I suppose one can never truly have enough Lara. Both classic/traditional and modern.

I'm glad GH managed to get a foot in the door with the last couple of announcements they've come out with. Vastly under-appreciated company, imho. It's nice to see some discussion being generated.

I've only gotten one statue from Gaming Heads, the Mass Effect Garrus one and I will say the production version I got looks just as good as the prototype if not better... Now that's only based on one statue... so take it as you may...

I've own probably over 30 SS statues and I've never gotten one that was as good as the prototype, I've had several that have come close but overall they do fall short of prototype quality. Weather or not that bothers you is a personal choice. I think everyone has their own level of tolerance when it comes to overall quality of a statue...

Got the EX, the normal was only $20 less on BBTS, and that staff looks great. I really hope Gaming Heads gets to do a Lara based on the next game in the rebooted storyline. I did not care much for the SS one (although it was still nice).

I've got two GH statues so far (Skyrim Dragon born, and Garrus) both, IMHO, have been on the money compared to the prototype! I don't own the first Lara Croft statue they produced, but the in hand pics were spot on with the prototype!

However, heres the thing; if you take a look at their prototype pieces, I think they're the actual first run production pieces, not some artist proof. The reason I think this is because, compare a GG or SS promotional statue to a GH one.....you'll notice a difference in quality. The GG / SS prototype looks very good, perfect lines, paint apps to die for, detailing up the wazoo....where as the GH prototype by comparison tends to look, well, just ok. The lines aren't perfect, the paint apps are acceptable, and the detailing is again, acceptable.

This might read as a negative against GH, and to be honest, if GG / SS could produce a like for like based on their prototype pieces, then GH would be out of business.....but here's the rub, we know GG / SS can't!!! So, given the output from GH, I can only conclude that they are accurately managing customer expectations, by showing us what we'll be actually getting - as opposed to what "could have been" like GG / SS do.

I could be wrong, but if not, I think this is how ALL companies should operate, it's honest, clever, and in the long run wins my business every time. It also highlights companies like Sideshow for the sham operators they actually are!

I'm not sure if this is how GH operates, though I think they aim for realistic paint jobs that can be reproduced not an advertisement piece. But some things for example their last croft was clearly a proto and not replicated as well on the factory level (though its not as bad as people say, but the eyes indeed are pretty bad).

Got the last GH Lara and it's a really great piece, overall very close to the proto. Eyes were a little bloodshot but she did almost drown in the ocean...

fwiw don't get thrown off by the negative threads on her, they're bout 10 times worse than the Bruce thread and she was way closer to the proto than he was

gonna pass on this one, will wait and see on the next reboot Lara.

I would be absolutely blown away if the final in-hand piece had that level of detail. I have my doubts.

Having said that I like this statue a lot.
And I'm fast becoming a fan of Gaming Heads.

I have the Gaming Heads "Young Lara" (or whatever it's officially called). It's a great statue but the face is slightly off IMO which is annoying....

This being the older, original Croft, I like the face on it. I like the pose. I'll probably PO it and hope that the final version is as good as the prototype.
This Lara was always highly sexualised so I'd appreciate it if they worked on her derrière a bit more and took some of the gloss off her legs.

In the long run I'd like to see another young Lara from the new games.
I suspect they are working on one for the upcoming 'The Rise Of The Tomb Raider': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI2OCJX5pQo
If they could nail the face this time round that would be amazing.

Jumping through the air firing two pistols is pretty harsh for hitting anything, however if you practice on the same target enough and get used to locking your arms straight no matter what you can do it. However as soon as you go to another target that is even a little bit of a different distance away you are once again ----ed :P Remember to put a bunch of mattresses to land on.

Well there's only about 2 inches in height difference between the GoL and Snow Day statues even if they are of different scales.

At a glance you won't notice they're of different scale unless you closely compare their proportions.

From "proto" to "in-hand" wasn't my issue so much as I just felt the final face wasn't as good / representative of her in the game.....

Wow, Gaming Heads is definitely getting more and more of my attention these days. I'm loving the Mass Effect statues and who doesn't love tomb Raider? My only complaint is in regards to their EX's. Gaming Heads EX's are even less exciting than Sideshow's as of late. Normally that wouldn't phase me, but the fact that Gaming Heads actually charges more for their EX's really compounds the disappointment.

So far I have ordered Tali, Liara, and Garrus from their Mass Effect line and the new Lara Croft. Tali's Ex comes with a 2nd hand gun, which isn't as nice as the standard gun. Liara comes with a switch out right hand with a biotic effect that I will definitely not be using. Looks like a blob of Jello is attacking her hand. Garrus's Ex comes with a 2nd gun, the Phaeston, which is kinda blah. And Lara's Ex comes with a Staff of Osiris, which is actually the only one that I really like. Yet its costing me almost $100 more to get the Ex for these 4 statues.

Gaming Heads needs to either get rid of the additional charge for the EX or start producing some EX's that are actually worth it because so far, they have really failed in this regard. I am still buying the Ex's because as everyone knows, they are more sought after than the regular editions, which makes them easier to sell if need be.

That should give it more than enough support to stop it from leaning. I am really hoping this releases soon. Seems like this has been on pre order for a really long time!!

Now we just need a Rise of the Tomb Raider Statue!!

Here are some pics of the production sample! I think it looks great. I do see two flaws though. One being the messy mouth line, and the other being the skin tone on the edge of her shorts.

Definitely love the side view!

Looks great. Will be an amazing addition to my existing Lara statues.

The paint on her shorts / legs looks exactly like the proto btw:

I'm no expert, but minor paint bleed seems somewhat unavoidable on mass-produced statues although it can be done well enough to be nearly unnoticeable without heavily scrutinizing them, as we often do with these close-up photos. Bleeding edges were partly to blame for why I got into statues and maquettes so late in the game, as I didn't realize paint apps on articulated figures generally looked cleaner from being painted and assembled from separate parts. Starting with mixed media pieces helped alleviate that somewhat, hence why I prefer certain aspects of the Guardian of Light PF over this Tomb Raider. Ultimately I learned to live with it on fully sculpted pieces. Companies are getting smarter about hiding seams and the like, which is an appreciable art in itself.

Looks like the shorts have a raised lip on them and instead of painting it brown it got painted the skin color...

I've seen stuff like that on Sideshow and other pieces. Made in China mass produced statues are getting better. But this isn't a deal breaker. I would take these "flaws" to some of Sideshow's more crazy painting examples any day of the week.

According to their Facebook page she barely going into production. So I can't see how we'll have her in Dec :radior:

Production update: Tomb Raider™: Lara Croft - Temple of Osiris statue is going into production this month. Stay tuned for more updates!

Transient

Yeah I spoke to one of their representatives on Facebook this week, and they said the statue had undergone a redesign in regards to her stance that had to go through all the channels for approval. They said Q1 2017.

I'm honestly guessing we won't see this one until the end of that window. It's been almost 19 months since initial pre-orders began on this piece, and I was almost ready to hear that she was cancelled, but I guess this one may be getting out of production purgatory after all.

Wonder what changed about the stance and why?

Transient
10-16-2016, 03:55 PM
My guess is that since so much of her mass is cantilevered and is only supported by the peg in her foot, maybe she had issues there. Maybe they changed something so another part of her body is directly supported instead of being suspended.

I'd welcome that change with so many of these 'hey, look how my statue is leaning over now' threads.

We regret to inform you that the delivery date of Lara Croft Temple of Osiris Exclusive has been postponed. Your final payment was originally scheduled to be processed today Monday 20th March 2017 but the delivery was postponed due to a few uncontrollable factors so therefore payment will be processed once the statues arrive to our factory and is ready for shipping to you, which is now estimated to be Mid-Late May 2017. Once we know the exact date of the statues leaving our factory and on route to the warehouse then we will notify you again of the payment date.

Yeah, I agree. Hopefully it's nothing serious. Sometimes companies delay finished statues to wait for other ones to finish. So that they ship in one full container . Rather than shipping two or more partial containers from China at different times which saves them money. Not sure if this is the case but that would be better than some serious issue that needs to be fixed.

I canceled my order a few months ago because I couldn't get over the ugly face. The in game model was so pretty, but this one looks uncomfortable, masculine and dirty.

Those latest pictures haven't left me with a lot of confidence. The face just doesn't look like the original prototype, she's not that pretty in that last picture. I guess I'm just getting more picky in my old age so I went ahead and cancelled. If in-hand pictures prove me wrong then I can always order it again.

You know what, I might get this one. Only because she does not have your usual boring face, she has character to me. I do not like statues that have that (Pretty) look all the time. I like a change. Than again not everyone thinks this face looks boring or unacceptable. So to each his/her own.

check the height on the reg maybe, if it's the same then probably not though it depends if they cared enough to count both separately ><

Sadly it's the same on both but judging by the images it looks to be around an inch taller than regular, So i'm guessing 19 inches. I have 20 inches of clearance so I think I'll be fine.

The face is kind of gritty looking with the dark circles around her eyes, almost like she got bitten buy a zombie and starting to turn...

Overall it's a nice statue.. If they would of given us a 2nd portrait, one that was prettier to look at, I would of probably kept my order.

What I saved from the end of the drop test video. Looks pretty to me.

I just want to see the Anniversary pieces now.



She's not even looking where she's shooting!
The production face has less expression. She looks less focused, less determined, and not as badass as the prototype. And that base is so bland and ugly.

I'm contemplating getting this piece but I'm on the fence about it. To the folks who have this piece - what are your thoughts about it now after a year of owning it? Does she still look good, will she hold up against time? Is it worth it, or better to hold out for the next best? Which other piece would you say the quality is comparable/equal to?
