Sideshow - Psylocke: X-Force Variant PF
Sideshow - Psylocke: X-Force Variant PF today, and
wow! what a piece.
First things first, the eye's look good. The portrait looks best viewed from the side rather than head on. Head on the eye's can look iffy, but only very slightly.
The body sculpt looks amazing. The only reason i never pulled the trigger sooner was because of the last minute portrait switch which pleased some collectors, and left some collectors (my self included) feeling somewhat bewildered at the decision.
Paint looks goof. Neat lines etc. There is scuff mark/paint-lines on Psylocke's chin, but i can live with that.
The base. It looks ok. I was never sold on the base from the beginning, as it reminds of me wax, a scented wax candle for example. It holds Psylocke steady, so it's doing it's job.
Issues: The pegged foot fails to insert fully into the base. Under each foot is a 4mm gap. No amount of pressure/force will fix the issue. For the moment, i cannot separate the piece from the base. I might have to plug the gap with rubber?
I'm super happy to finally have a Psylocke in my collection
