BLITZWAY - ASTRONAUT – ISS EMU ver.
Seen this pop in my feed.
http://www.blitzway.com/product/pd_astronaut.html
I am not a huge BLITZWAY person...but I did recently PO the ECTO-1.
Honestly, I have been looking for a piece for get my parents...to show them "my world" some. Seeing how they are both retired NASA engineers, I thought this would be pretty cool.
Thoughts on the piece in general?
Thoughts on the piece as coming from Blitzway?
Seems to be more of a statue then a figure per-say.

I like it a lot but the price $1190 is a bit much.

Very awesome. A gift for NASA parents would be a must imo. Of course the one Blitzway piece I’ve purchased, although still pretty awesome, was a bit of a qc letdown. They seem to be knocking it out of the park lately though with Marilyn and Rocky.

The Enter the Dragon Bruce, I'm guessing? That was a case I felt weird liking it even from photos where the owners were saying it looked bad in person, whereas the sweat effect on the PrototypeZ Ryu for example doesn't register as convincingly for me in photos as owners vouch that it does in person.

Too beautiful of a piece(accuracy) to pass. Day one PO. The price is reasonable consider the authenticity, sheer size and design of the piece. That's if they can deliver what we see here.

I have them both, its a lot worse on Bruce- on Ryu they look ok but I could take them or leave them. The droplets arent even to scale on Bruce- its like having dime sized globules of sweat running down your arms and chest. Luckily from normal viewing distance the sweat doesnt stand out awkwardly as much and its effect with shelf lighting looks a bit better. But the sweat wasnt the only thing. The muscular definition was greatly reduced from the prototype giving him a much softer look. Also the cuts were the size of a grizzly bear paw, not accurate, and painted a dull brownish red. It was a $700 statue back when SS PF’s were under $400 so it shouldve been perfect. It seemed also at the time that Blitzway was a little less than forthcoming because I dont think the prototype was even real, seemed almost to be a cg model. Never saw wip photo’s, never a photo like the spaceman above, and it never made show appearances to my knowledge.
That said the likeness is still amazing. An extra splash of red with a side of heart attack did wonders for the cuts. Still a very impressive piece overall that Im never selling.
