Very happy with mine. In fact, that's an understatement. When I opened it I was like:

This is easily my most prized possession. The grail of my collection. It's beautiful. I always had faith all through the drama that Chronicle would deliver and did they ever.

Congrats on a great piece! #33, what a "great" number

How much was shipping to Canada? Did you get hit by customs fees like Sideshow?

Here are a couple pictures, which do not even close to doing this statue justice. You need to see this one in the flesh to appreciate it.
Congrats man, I've also come to term the use of soft warm light is quite effective to bring out the piece more. The slight fuzziness of the illumination on the skin really mimic the CGI look from the film.

Yes I was very excited to get #33. It has been attached to my username on almost every message board I've joined since my first way back in 2004. Definitely a crazy coincidence.

Shipping was $132.66 CAD, and then I got dinged another $114.38 at the border.

Yeah, I just use the light I have on hand and it's good enough. I would really like to take my stuff outside and take pictures under natural light, but I have a fear of dropping something in the snow.

Congrats on your order man!

I got #69, which coincidentally was my number when I played football growing up lol.


It's like the planets have aligned for us JP fans after all these years lol.

Ouwtch that wet T-rex looks awful.
I have respect for the work and time to tweak it up a bit but it was better to leave it be like it was delivered by Chroncicle Collectibles.
The colors are now way of. It almost looks like a fresh pile of ----. No disrespect but I realy feel that way. , such a shame. But if this is the statue he wanted then I`m happy for the creator.

His customs are great, any guy who can cut the back of a 1/3 scale hulks head to put in glass eyes in has my respect, that's the look he was after with the Rex , he achieved it

Paid mine in full today, now the wait , end of April from CDUK
