I can't remember where but I've seen this piece for as low as $320, which is crazy! This is probably the nicest statue I've received in the past 2 years. It's amazing!

Anyone around own this puppy?
Going for cheap, wondering how owners like it?

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

i have it, it's an amazing piece. GG 1/4 always have some of the best paint app, well above the rest.

The problem is GG has piss poor marketing and take unbelievably bad photos - i think they are just computer 3d renderings. If they hired a professional photographer like sideshow to take some real photos of their statues and jazz up their webpages a bit, those statues will sell much faster.

It really is sad you have this company that consistently make some of the best painted 1/4 statues that does absolutely nothing to try market their statues, meanwhile you got others who makes piss poor quality but markets their statues like crazy and sells a lot more.

Attakus is another example of high quality statue but no marketing, but they are french so they get a pass.

This is one of the most criminally underrated statues I've ever seen/owned. I love mine and can't imagine a better rendition of the characters being made in this scale. In person it's pure quality. You won't be disappointed if you grab it.

Congrats!!! I own it and it's AMAZING all the details!!!

And don't do my mistake:
Don't be amazed and take Groot in your hands first. First, take off the base (situated on the other side of the foam) and the screws out and THEN take Groot out.
Maybe also ask a helping pair of hands as this one is really fragile and not easy to manipulate to screw to its base by yourself.

Got it, and its awesome!
My first GG 1:4. I hear a lot of complaints about the base but I don't mind it. It actually is pretty awesome because if I want I can easy make a custom base(s). I am not sure if any other collectors thought that way. Really the limits are none.
Great job on the likeness the scaling as well.
