Even so it is still the better overall piece I think, unless you are doing the full statue.

It just goes to show that the pieces that were shipped to conventions and YouTubers really had messed up hair after travelling the world many times over. As these production pieces look fine, hair-wise.

I think it's still pretty similar. Though the hair is much better than previous videos, but that's probably just because the convention pieces have been packed and unpacked endlessly, with the hair getting worse each time.


Note, that this is not a complete assembly video, as the pin that holds the right arm in wouldn't fit. And because it was a live unboxing he chose not to widen the pin hole with a drill.

Well I have finally received the Infinity Bale Bust, and it’s pretty much as expected. It’s a great looking piece, but likeness wise it’s pretty good (but I’m still getting the Queen one too).

My mum came over for dinner and she was able to recognise who it was immediately as I was carrying the head in my hands. Can’t do much better than that.

It was fairly easy to assemble. While the overall bust is extremely heavy, each individual part while heavier than I would like them to be (like the arms and the cowl), I didn’t need to stain myself assembling it like I have some other busts, like Queens Captain America bust.

Like as has been shown in other reviews, the metal pins that hold the arms in, take a bit of effort to fully insert, but at least I didn’t need to use a drill to widen the hole. For the right arm, I found it much easier to insert the pin in, if I didn’t place the small part that gets inserted into the base just before you are asked to put the arms in. The left arm gave me the most trouble, but once I put some petroleum jelly on the pin, I was able to fully insert the pin.

The cape is pretty good, but I see it as a dust magnet, so long term I’ll probably display it without it on.

Nice. Considering most collectors won't get both this and Queen's, it will be interesting for your thoughts on the comparison between the two (when you get that one in).
