Rancor Statue

[dao2]

Sure resin can be heavy, but PVC can have real leaning problems too, even worse ones really :| Why not do fiberglass? Doesn't look like PVC either though tbh.

Edit: Just checked the SS page and it says fiberglass and resin and not PVC. And while I can usually tell resin vs pvc and I'm not super familiar with fiberglass that doesn't look like fiberglass to me either. Hard to tell from the video, especially without touching it but it looks like abs tbh. Especially the up close pictures. If it truly is fiberglass that is even better then polystone. The weight is not there for sure but still better.

Fiberglass would be preferable to PCV. I have a few of the fiberglass Predator masks and they are fine. Although one fell of the wall and broke so it isn't beyond damage if you aren't careful (or just unlucky) PVC statues are just nasty imo in both looks and feel. Hopefully this is indeed the former so that it doesn't have that cheap look to it in person. I only went on what the guy in the video said. The seams are there regardless sadly, I really dislike seeing them on high end collectibles, seem repair is a basic of model making, you'd go to the effort to remove them if you were building a $5 kit, never mind a $1000 statue.

it is about what I expected. Whatever the material, I knew it was going to be very light. I wouldn't be surprised if the GG (at a fraction of the size) weighs more (base aside). That was polystone and very heavy.

what I dislike most about this is the paint. it is too light in colour. the promo pics made him look much darker (which was a good thing).

Regal Robot did a much better job overall. But it is smaller and more than twice the cost. I will get mine repainted and still have $1000 in my pocket.

It looks nice, but the seams and plastic look turn me off. If it's another piggy bank, I won't be interested. I was waiting for in hand reviews to come out.

looks pretty awesome to me. Hope the edition is even smaller. it's fiberglass. that's why its light. says on the description.. similar to most larger pieces like this. they could have gone with polystone, but they would have had tons of breakages, and it would have a much pricier shipping price.

Hi,
I started painting (touch-ups) a little, myself.

Just curious why would you place clear matte over clear gloss? What does it visually add? Do you get close to 'Satin' (half gloss) paint as result?
Or do you cover not all parts of the gloss, so you get patches of both?

Proto was darker.
This does not have enough freckles and spots either, important detail of the skin texture.
Overall should have had more 'real' detail feel. Nice statue but yes to expensive for this outcome.

he just mentioned amount 1000+ as figure of speech.. every statue at that pricepoint should be great/awesome etc..

It says fiberglass in the description but SS may have changed the material.
