Life is not a fairy tale.
Not everyone deserves a happy ending.
- The Kingpin
Hi guys,
I have picked up the XM Studios Kingpin statue at my LCS and am very happy with it.
Kingpin is one of the characters in the MU which I find very interesting and appealing and when the opportunity presented itself to add this statue to my collection,
I did not think twice.
The statue is quite heavy and the weight in its own way symbolizes the mass and presence of Marvel's most infamous and dangerous crimelord.
I like the fact that there is almost no assembly required with this piece: Kingpin and his chair are one piece and the only other pieces in the box are Kingpin's cane,
the chess board and the chess pieces which you can place on the board.
Too bad the chess pieces are not magnetically attached to the board. When unboxing Kingpin some of the chess pieces dropped off the board multiple times
thanks to my large hands and fingers and the fact that the pieces are not secured to the board at all.
I am considering putting some blue-tack underneath each chess piece to ensure they will be more securely attached to the board and not drop off at the slightest bump.
Other than that though this piece really delievers and I am happy to have Mr Wilson Fisk make his entrance into my collection next to my Bowen Kingpin FS.
I have taken some quick pictures which I hope you will enjoy; have fun!
The underworld will now be run like a business... and the chairman of the board will be... the Kingpin!
