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.
