SOOOOOOO..I waited till the final day to see what I wanted to get myself with all the deals/coupons going on. This guy WON, it just was too hard to pass up $295 total shipped. Double Rewards-30%off-FREE shipping.

Bravo SSC, I know the paint apps are not great, and I will have my friend touch up anything I'm not satisfied with, but for that price it is worth it for the beautiful sculpt alone.

He has so much movement in his pose, I just love it.

I should have him some time next week for a better review!

Just got mine and i gotta say it's really great.

Size and overall presence is really nice.

Light up is really excellent, though i would have killed for it to go through his entire body.

As for the paints i don't think they are as bad as people have made out, from 2 feet away he looks just awesome.

A little closer and it's again not bad, it's certainly not enought to ruin the statue imo. The worst thing about the paint is the how flat it is, it would have benefited from a coat of clear coat to give it that shine and wet look, and that's exactly what i am gonna do with mine.

Also the hand on the rock, once seen can never be unseen! So i'm gonna paint that aswell, luckily it's a really small area.

I asked 6 people so far to find the "mistake" refering tot he rock/hand and not one of them saw it lol.

Phone pic. Will do proper pics once i do bit of painting on him

The rock the hand is holding onto is painted the same colour as the hand...really dumb mistake on Sideshows part.

So i fixed the rock/hand on mine, i did some work on his patterns and i clear coated him completely.

The hand was a pretty easy fix, it's only 3 small sections and took about 10 mins.

The patterns are all over the place because they obviously painted each section, head, arms, tails separately and then when they were stuck together some of the black pattern just stopped at the join line, so i went over connected them up etc.

And i covered him in clear coat, really lifted his overall look and gave that slimey, scaley in water look.

Even happier with him now and he was worth putting the bit of effort into!

Bring on Gypsy and Striker!










No more Rock Hand!
