Here's a good way to bring in 2020. I just received my Deathstroke statue this afternoon. I love every part of the sculpt.

Here's a quick pic

Definitely a winner.

Deathstroke is here

Looks great and pictures are still to follow.

But I have to clarify that with the hand that pulls the sword on the back

The sword is only put in the hand with a non metal pen.
When I wiggle a little, the sword falls out. Is the same principle as the first kier with the arm that holds the skull. Back then I attached her arm with super glue.
Or I'm doing something wrong. But i don't see that the sword are attached to the body in a different way

[Asgard]

The statue is really great but there are a few points that I don't like. I would like to list them briefly.
As already mentioned, the sword on the back does not hold in the hand only due to the simple plug connection. I have glued it now.
The topknot from the unmasked head bumps to the hand and pushes the head slightly forward.
The paint job is really great, except for the rifle. The rifle is only very simply painted.
The base is over the top for my taste. I mean the base is great when looking at the statue but it always comes to the fore.
The flag and the two halves of the spear in the stone head may still be ok, but I think that the two halves of the spear are too small for 1/4. They would fit 1/5 or 1/6.

On a positive note, the assembly is quite simple and without any problems. Paintjob on Deathstroke is great and I love the infinite details on the statue. Also find the charisma / presence of the statue better than with the more powerful Bane. Deathstroke is more on a par with Samurai Batman in that regard.
But he dwarf Samurai Batman. Deathstroke is a big 1/4 statue

Please XM, make the statues not bigger.

[Demona]

Is it another scale issue that makes him so much bigger than Batman?

If so, that makes two statues that were way off-scale: Mystique and Deathstroke.

Statue looks great guys. Really has a solid presence. RCLS - love the minion "for scale"

[nearmint]

I haven't noticed a scale issue with Deathstroke and Samurai Batman.

Watching a review with both of them together I can see DS looks a little bigger, but doesn't seem to dwarf him. Quick google search puts DS at 6'4 and 225 lbs. where Batman is 6'2" and 210. If that's right then DS should be a little bigger anyway.
