This little bust cost me $1400. I think the entire DX 1/4 statue, including 4 really nice heads cost me about $2k... ish. So while this is definitely better, It is an easy choice for those who only want one statue, grab the 1/4 and you'll never know the difference without having them side by side.

That said, having seen how awesome this bust is, I can't wait for my entire 1/3 statue to arrive now.

Yeah I wouldn’t have used Down syndrome to describe it. Wouldn’t have entered into my mind to say it like that.

I actually believe people with Down syndrome to be apart from us with their innocence and lack of deceitfulness. A na?vet? that we all lack.

wow, that's interesting. I think you may be correct with this statement. thanks for sharing this.

We always talk about wanting our statues to be flawless, mint. Meanwhile us as human beings we can be beautiful at times, but we HORRIBLY flawed. The first step to being better is understanding this, but even than it's almost impossible to correct our ways, living in this fallen world we call home.




but the bust, this statue...a GEM. a real masterpiece

I told Prime 1's Kira this years ago when they were on this board...like 7 or so years ago, and my goodness look what have here. A flawless representation that may not ever be bested.


After staring at my FS for 5 weeks straight, it's literally a perfect personification of predator. This was and still is a nightmare for factories to produce, I doubt any company will attempt this again, not until we have perfect nano replicating printing technologies.

Precisely…not a deal-breaker but to suggest they are invisible is false…
