You wont regret it. This piece is stunning, my best friend has it and its a masterpiece. You can stare at the detail in this statue for hours.

Yeah, he's a very cool piece. I've had mine for about 3 weeks, and still happy with it. Obviously it has begun to lose its luster a bit, but he's still a solid keeper.

Especially at that price! You can probably find the EX hand for about 100-150 online, so for not much more you can get the complete thing.

I own the EX and think you hit the nail on the head.

I'm torn between this and the Arkham Knight Harley Quinn to be my first Prime 1 piece.

I bought this because it looks great and there aren't a lot of Deathstroke options out there. There is a ton of Harley stuff. They did unboxed the Harley P1 today and it's got a lot of great stuff, I just feel like she's becoming a little over saturated.

I will definitely be picking this is one up before years out. And yeah, no other great Deathstroke pieces out there for me.

I got this in Monday (a guy on FB was selling the Ex for $800, so I bit).

The sculpt is amazing. I never had any doubts that I would display the masked head, but the skin tones and paint on the unmasked head are simply incredible... it was a shame to re-box the head.

This is my first (and likely, only) Prime 1 piece, but I'm very impressed.

If I had to critique, I'd say this:
1) The choice of arms was a missed opportunity. They really needed a "sword in right hand" option, so you could display his sword with the Ex. The staff option does nothing for me (and is a space hog), and the "empty fist" option doesn't either. So it's largely gun or nothing. I went with gun/sword.

2) I *hate* how the pistol fits in the holster, with the trigger sticking out. That defeats half the purpose of the holster.

But those are very minor critiques.

Just some thoughts from the Devil's advocate playground and critique critiqued in your post...

-> Although more is good, the EX mask hand has a bullet hole in the mask which pairs off better with a gun than a sword as it would make more sense.

2) I *hate* how the pistol fits in the holster, with the trigger sticking out. That defeats half the purpose of the holster.


-> There are holster designs currently that operate like this to allow full grip of the weapon including trigger finger placement for quick weapon engagement.

But those are very minor critiques.

Good find at a great price btw!!

I agree with your critiques. I wish I could display the EX with the sword hand. Him holding both the gun AND the sword doesn't make much sense to me, since his hands would be too full holding all those weapons.

But he's still a badass piece.

EX sold out on Sideshow for those curious....
