Awesome pics Nidgit!

How tall is the piece from base to tip?

I was mighty impressed with the proto but my only concern was its size.

Is the Vespa cast in plastic? Im afraid it might feel "cheap" and fragile in hand.

Congratz Nidge!!! I need to pick this up soon myself. If its not to much trouble, could you post a comparison shot with another piece so we can get an idea of the scale. Not to many pics of this available.

The sticker on the rear reads 'Brake for Bea' and there is a little picture of what looks like Bea Arthur

From the bottom of the base to the top of DP's head it stands about 27 cms high (the base is about 4cms high). From the base to the tip of his gun it stands about 36cms high.

Hard to tell what the vespa is made of. Feels like it has some plastic components (at the front end) but it feels quite solid and weighty overall so definitely not all plastic.

Just got the Joker PF so figured he was as good as any to illustrate size it's funny, as a stand alone piece it doesn't seem that small, but next to the PF it looks tiny.

Thanks for the info and pics N!

You've sold this statue for me.

Ordered! Hope i have time to take pics of this when i get it.

The production quality looks pitch perfect on the new Gentle Giant stuff. Props to them and i am sure they will be making a huge impact in the Marvel collectibles game.

Great time to collect Marvel!
