Ghost In The Shell - The Major 1/4 by Weta
Arrived today. First impressions, I like the statue very much.
The somewhat basic two tone color scheme of the outfit gives the statue a different feel to all my
other statues. While the statue is hard to the touch, the paint app gives an illusion of rubber softness.
The light up base works really well. If i wanted to be picky, the light-up section below The Major's
foot has light scratches on it. I can live with it.
Credit where credit is due, the production piece matches the prototype shots.
Compared to my Gentle Giant and SideShow stautes, The Major feels lighter in weight.
Once the base has been attached, the whole thing feels heavier.
On opening a new statue, the two main issues that concern me most include it not being broken (obviously)
and the dreaded googly eyes. Lucky enough my Major passed in both areas. That said, The Majors eyes do
have a slightly cold robotic stare about them.
