Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Got my Nightmare today. He looks awesome and I am very happy with him, but I think the colors on his paint are pretty different from the preorder shots we got. The base in particular looked a lot more eye catching than it. And while I am not a fan of light up in general, this has maybe the most pointless I have seen in a big statue. The eye lightup is very minor. I thought it might effect the base or sword as well, but it is just his eyes which you can't really even see at a lot of angles.
I do like the overall engineering and sculpt a lot though. He is large, but nicely balanced. No knee up pose or anything so the space he takes up is very honest. The base is not tall and his stance is nice and wide. He just looks great on display. Only thing bothering me is that the magnet for his arm seems either weak or very easily detachable. It seems like his entire arm is being held into the socket mostly by gravity, via Soul Edge being planted into the base somewhat. This makes for some clever engineering, but I am a little scared at the same time. I am also surprised only one leg has a peg. There is NO way he is falling over since he is so balanced though.
I'm very excited for Taki and whoever else they end up making. Overall I'm just very pleased in general. I feel like the wait for Nightmare wasn't too long and they are releasing preorders and info on this line at a nice steady pace. We aren't being rushed, and at the same time there isn't a drought. It helps that SCVI was announced so I am very happy overall with how SC is right now. VI is probably my most hyped up game of all time.

Also the packaging for this statue was amazing. F4F always does a great job there so I had high expectations, and they still blew it out the water. Despite how large and heavy this statue is, unboxing him and assembling him was such a breeze. He was so secure in the packaging too. You'll understand if you buy him. There is never any fear of transit damage when it comes to F4F.

Good to hear. Gives me hope that the line will be going strong until they get to someone I want.

Good stuff, some pics over on the Facebook group a lot of concern about the base but the pics weren't great so we'll see.
Still waiting for my Saitama to get shipped from F4F so i haven't even thought about Nightmare shipping yet lol.
Edit : Got charged today for Saitama, Nightmare and Sif!

Heres a good pic of the base, interested to see how it compares as F4F use factory samples for their PO pics so it should essentially be the same.

Hey Gyro any photos you can share, I'm on the fence with my preorder and need to decide before I pay.
