Well, I finally have it! After making my biggest blunder as a collector of cancelling my exclusive order, I have a Prime, albeit a regular version, sitting on my shelf.
I know it's a cliche but this statue has to be seen in person to be appreciated, pictures truly do not do this piece justice. I think one of my reasons for cancelling this was because it looked too thin. Even after seeing the in hand pics, it still looked thin but after reading the feedback from the owners, I decided to take the plunge. It is the absolute truth, this piece does NOT look thin in person. Even my wife, who cares nothing for my collection, thinks Prime looks great and is now her favorite piece of my collection.
Anyways, enough babble and even though these pics will not do this piece justice, especially cause I didn't dust it off enough, here they are....
