I won't lie, my first impression was holy ---- $350-$400 for 1/9 scale, but I am always preaching about getting what you pay for etc and that indeed includes the smaller scales of collectibles. As long as the approved factory doesn't fart around then I can believe that price is justified. That's alot of paint work involved... gonna be hard to not get sloppy at times.
I like Owen fine. He's actually the first human JP character that I give a damn about. I mean, the humans have been fine it's not like I dislike them except for the damn kids in every movie that I root for to get eaten. But I equate Owen to like....Han Solo or Neo or Dutch, just to name a few old school characters. He's a likeable character. I would not mind owning statues of Owen or involving Owen(like this)I'm just not sure Owen is high enough on the priority list to go after statues of his at this point in time.
Hell, I wouldn't even buy a figure or statue of Han Solo right now, and that's Han Solo. *shrug* But Owen + Blue tempts me. Probably already have my money if it included all the raptors.

No interest in Jurassic World, only Jurassic Park, but this looks fantastic. The fact that people are doing a double take at the scale shows just how amazing the detail and paint work is. It has the quality of a much larger piece, which makes it worth the price in my book. Soo damn excited for the Nedry / Dilophosaurus and Raptors in the kitchen dioramas, assuming they're going to be the same scale.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Lol whats that even mean.... Yact how exactly?... You mean not an entitled doosh. I'm not even going to purchase this line but know what it takes to create something like this from start to finish, first hand, and appreciate a nice piece with out needing to find something wrong with everything.

I would say the same, except mine would be Muldoon and his SPAS hunting/getting hunted in the woods with a JP1 raptor(and in 1/4!) more than wanting an Owen/Blue combo. It does look nice though and I still might get it.

Blah blah blah... Recycled garbage post. Tell me something we all haven't read before. If you appreciate the piece, say so, without inserting the repetitions"same ol "bs post" you claim to get annoyed seeing. You're still ass kissing, playing up your douchebaggery, elitist collector attitude to Paul like you're going to win a prize. I like the piece, but i dont like owen there. Big whoop. Find something else to complain about than complaining about something so small as what i just stated and responding with the typical jab comment. Moving on now.

please I replied to your one comment since I sensed butthurt... my initial comment wasnt directed directly at you but the several that where posted. The third or 4th comment was something about the weight being to light. It gets old, just take a look at the Rs thread in the SS section. literally pages of people searching for things to find to complain on.
Im not ass kissing by any means just because I wont search for a fault or its not the way I would do it since thats essentially useless since the statue is done at this point. Dooshy maybe but far from an elitist by any means haha

Very well. My apologies then for the misunderstanding. But seriously. Theres always going to be someone here to nitpick. Even on facebook groups. Ive learned to just ignore or leave the groups altogether, seeing as most just suck the fun out of the hobby. You just gotta take it with a grain of salt. Who cares. Just as long as youre happy. Nothing else matters.
