COTD - Shard: Mortal Trespasser

[enigmatikone]

Ordered.

[generalzodlives]

I'll definitely get her considering the price. No rush to PO though. The statues in this line don't sell out.

Try not to be too enthusiastic guys... maybe the price will go up $50 next week. Typo and all that.

Aw, I couldn't resist. Low hanging fruit. But seriously I may get back in at this price... maybe.

“Shard is a soldier, an extremely competent commander, and a veteran of many battles – with the scars to prove it,” said Gilliland. “I wanted her to have marks that showed some of those laps around the track, but that were instantly noticeable, too. I wanted to jostle the reflexive vision of the glamorous fantasy female warrior and instead hit first and foremost with a vision of an ass-kicking veteran.”

Much respect to Gilliland for that comment. Now I love the character even more.

That was a good read. Thanks for sharing!

Agreed!

Shard is awesome.
I won't pre-order, but I might get her after she starts shipping.
Maybe if less people pre-order, they will reduce the ES on these to something more "collectible."

This line has certainly given a few people splinters in their backsides from spinning on the fence! Great looking piece, great overall concept and a versatile range of pieces to fit a growing genre of themes.

I absolutely love how this piece is looking. The armor looks incredible and I think she will look outstanding next to Kier.



While Queen of the Dead was a total nightmare, I really think Sideshow has doubled down on this line since then and really improved on the production side. Given that fact, I just couldn't resist pre-ordering Shard. This was my 2nd pre order in this line and I will likley pre order Cleopsis as well. I think all 3 (Kier, Shard & Cleopsis) will look outstanding together.

I really only have an interest in the female side of this line, but that is looking like it will be more than enough to produce a really nice collection.

Got my 10% off coupon when Kier shipped so I'll use it on Shard.
