kratos has arrived!
Wow straight off i'm going to say i'm very impressed with the quality of the bust, this is my first gaming heads piece and it's a very high standard.
Packaging is excellent the bust comes double boxed with the (excellent) printed inner box suspended, via four corner styrofoam pieces, inside an outer brown shipper box.
The first thing that struck me with the bust itself is it's weight, it feels VERY solid with a real nice weight to it. I've owned LOTS of busts in the past and this is definitley up there as one of the heaviest, weight fetishists will definitely not be disappointed!
The sculpt is excellent and nails kratos' portrait, I was always a little concerned with this bust that his face looked a little too thick but in person that's not the case and it's spot on.
Paint app is excellent some real nice details and all the colours look bang on. Eyes are painted but are very well done with a nice shine to them. Only real criticism would be the marble effect on the base could of done with a bit more detail but it's probably something i'll touch up myself.
Overall i'd give it and definite 9/10 especially taking the price (£380) and low ES (500) into account. It's the perfect representation of one of my favourite gaming characters











my money would be on kratos!

Heads up for anyone who is still after this. BBTS have them on clearance for $200 off, or $399 instead of $599.

Does anyone know the full dimensions of this Bust, including the weight? I just ordered it from BBTS (Thanks for the notice premium_substit) and trying to plan where to put it, but no specs are listed.

thanks,

All tho this has been out for a while, I got it just recently, last month. And oh boy it looks great! It's not even sold-out yet from Gaming Heads so anyone interested, it's still possible to get one.


Here are some pictures:
