I feel it was a bit over priced. The paint app could have been better but I've seen way worse from Sideshow. I like it for what it is. I hope the throne statue is worth the price they are asking. I have high hopes.

This was my first Gaming heads piece.

Wow is he really as white as he is on the pics? He should be more of a grey/stone colour.

I think the paint looks clean at least.

Did you just leave the arrows in the box, or did they not come with that for the base? The base looks so plain without the arrows on it.

I was hoping the paint job could match
The life size bust at least. I was hoping they added
Veins guess not, I'll see tom when I get it.

I have overhead fluorescent lighting which is washing out the pics a bit. But he is rather white.

If I could have saved a 100.00 and ordered the reg version, I would/should have. I'll never use the light up feature. It's a nice statue.

Batteries go in each arm to operate the led. There is a small button under each arm that turns it on.

I left the arrows in the Box, I wasn't going to display him right now, I just wanted to make sure the main pieces fit nice and tight together and they did.

would love if you can make a video of him

I did save the $100 and get a reg, just waiting on secret compass


I actually prefer the white look over grey, I hate the grey look

He has a ton of brown speckles for the stone look. I want him to match the bust but I've never seen it in person. Lacks the ashy gray look.

The light mechanism leaves much to be desired.

Each arm takes 3 button batteries and can be hard to access without damaging the arm paint especially the first time.

There are 2 magnets on the top and bottom of each access piece.

Don't like the big black buttons on the arms.
Mine actually shorted during shipping and burned into the styrofoam. There was some black ash inside but the majority was outside on the foam. The springs are so tight that the conductors push on the battery terminals and one battery had its middle core pushed out. Lights are not nearly as bright as I wished.

Awesome sculpt & pose. Paint is clean. Wish the face got a bit more attention.

Basically in hand opinion, since we all knew what this looked like, is: I wish the lights were brighter and there was consistency between all of Gaming Heads Kratos offerings.

Then this is for you. He is very alabaster with brown granite speckles.

I can't believe they have done that for the light up, i expect it with 1/6 figs because of articulation etc but for a statue....come on that's really cheap.

It annoys me when pieces only take batteries in the base for light ups so this is pretty much unacceptable, really glad i went with the regular now.

How hard would it have been to have a battery base with a button really.....
