I'm seriously stressing out where I'm gonna put him. The more I look at the photos the bigger it looks!

congrats on another awesome piece nidgit!

only things that I'm not so sure on is the slightly plasticky look of the skin, or is it better in person. Also, unless I'm wrong, the eyes look painted? they really should be acrylic/glass at this price level!

Wow, very cool. The detail inside the mouth is amazing.

I'm surprised they only used plastic bags to wrap it in. Throught they'd use paper. Did it come with the usual high quality art box? Or was the syro box just placed inside a brown shipper box?

Thanks everyone.

Will have to get back to you guys on base measurements (busy day).

The eyes appear to be painted rather than acrylics, and probably not the greatest feature of the bust, but they don't really detract from the overall bust. Would need to revisit the movie on blu ray to get a closer look at them on the actual props.

And the paint finish is great. There is a lot of subtle detail and quite a bit of texture in the sculpt. Possibly could have been more of a matt finish (maybe) to the skin tone but I'm not sure if that would have been an improvement. The only other thing I noticed was there was not a lot of differentiation in paint on the snout. But again, I think if the nose was darker it may have ended up looking a bit odd.

It did come with a standard art box which was fine but nothing riveting, so no real complaints about the packaging.

Overall . . . . absolutely love it. Very detailed and really impressive. I did take a pic yesterday with my arm in it's mouth (just for fun and scale) but forgot to post it. Funny thing, I actually ended up gouging a small piece of flesh out of my forearm on those fangs . . . . that's how realistic they are . . . . here's hoping the next full moon doesn't see some radical changes in me

did you put any gel in his hair? I noticed some people have some mohawk looking things. Do you have all the other ECC stuff ordered? I'm wondering if I should wait for the 1:3 Lycan or stick with this.

Gel in his hair ????

That's him straight out of the box. He could probably do with a bit of primping (being that it's been sitting flat in a box for a while).

As for the bust versus the maquette, it really depends on what your in to. TBH, as much as I love the reaper maquette, I think I prefer the reaper bust, just because it has much more presence for me. I would imagine the same goes for the Lycan maquette, but that's more to do with personal preference than anything else
