Ok,
finally got one of this myself (direct from Gabe, nonetheless!
) and I was pleasantly surprised.
The sculpt on this is
SUPERB, and the detail is some of the best Ive seen on a life-sized bust (down to the leather texture and stitching!) and the paint job was pretty good too. Also,there were
NO BACK SQUIGLY/SCALESS on mine. So I dont know whats up with the couple others posted here.
I can also safely say he is
definitely life-sized. He would factor out to be about 8 - 8 & 1/2ft tall, which is in line with his RE3 appearance, but not his RE:ORC appearance.
Here are front/back photos of the stock piece right out of the box:
Now, all that being said an done, I always planned to modify him, sooo...
New skin paint (3 more shades & 2 more highlight tones, & 2 different clear coats)
All wounds, scars,etc, repainted.
Tentacle repaint (more accurate to game & movie).
Teeth paint (more shading and highlighting, and glossing)
Eye glossed
Buckle and button chromed
Filled and weighed bust (now weighs 45lbs).
*pardon the slight paleness of the last 4 photos, dont know what the camera was doing. Piece is actually darker)*
