The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

His waist looks a little too small for the rest of the body but he looks good overall.

That's cool. I originally dismissed the idea but maybe a 1:3 Bison on throne would be a good idea

Either way, it's nice, just not jaw dropping. Something else just isn't doing it for me, can't put my finger on it. But I think it may have to do with the size of the throne. Seems a little small for someone like Kahn. I always imagined him in a fairly large throne, that's what really drives home the wow factor in throne pieces like SS's Thanos, XM Magneto ect. From a distance, it looks like he's sitting in a chair, not a "Throne". I think there should me more space between the armrest and his legs. Right now they're butted right up against them, feels like he's being squeezed into the throne. Overall, the throne should be wider and include a wider base footprint. Just my thoughts and first impressions, the rest of the sculpt looks great though.

I want to love it, it's just not there yet for me.

Disappointing to hear. I think your push is a major reason this happened even though no one would likely admit it.

I wish the back of the throne was larger but PCS always always always is conservative with size.


Surprised to hear the comments wanting a more literal interpretation of the game but you and others are probably a bit more hardcore than me.
As far as the sides I think that is to make him look larger as well and show the sculpt. I was afraid the chair would hide most of him.

I love the finger. It's got the staff, the hammer, skulls. He's lunging forward as if to say "You, Next!!" which unfortunately I don't believe will lend itself to any swap outs.

The determining factor for me will be how it looks with Goro. If the scales are off or their appearance doesn't jive then I'll have to stick with just Goro.
Really it's mainly about the size. Shao is king for a reason and he's always looked taller and able to handle Goro even with less arms.

One thing is certain though the cloth Ninjas are unworthy to display next to this thing.

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

Ant just posted khan is $1499.99. He said it’s size of goro plus a throne. Didn’t say what % discount you will get on preorder. Also he thinking of giving everyone a chance to PO during wondercon guess we will have to see what happens or if later PO set for April.


Well those that wanted khan at 1/3 you ready to PO at that price?

The second pic really shows how narrow his waist is though. It looks super awkward to me. All this mass up top, supported on this tiny bottom frame.

I will say the pointed finger is growing on me the more I look at it. But that waist...
