Demographic problem. More old folks than young folks and the young ones aren't having enough kids to compensate.

Hmmm so it can be anywhere between 3 to 8 months. Likely going to be 6 months then, I'll glue it back on and make best with what I have atm

The portraits are incredible though, it's going to take me at least a few days to let it sink in on how amazing this statue is, with all it's attention to details and lovely sculpt. You guys are absolutely going to love it.

How would you describe the darkness of the teeth. Are they really that dark and then the tips painted white over them?
That is what it looks like in photos, or do you say it is less noticeable in hand and translucent enough?

Nice picture of what I've been saying I use for displaying my statues. (Black Art Pedestals) With the appropriate heights, they can really make statues look awesome.

Yeah I know that...why do you think the border's open. Lol.... Anyways, if China didn't unleash the Flu on the world, Sideshow wouldn't be charging what they are now. That's just an undisputable fact. But enough about politics. The bottom line is shipping prices are way out of hand....and a total rip-off now!

Hey Dundee, congrats on getting this beast. Kinda sucks about the damaged best portrait. Now I'm getting paranoid about the packaging. Crap....

It looks similar to photos, the darkness is noticeable. It's not paint but transparent resin, like mixed together for the dark light hue effect.

Hey man thanks! Hope things are better with you guys after the hurricane.

It's packaged quite well, I got a little unlucky so I wouldn't worry about it. Though some areas are too packed with foam, doesn't give movement so a big thud could put pressure on fragile areas. Hope you gets your soon, it's much better than fulgore
