Overall it look really good EXCEPT the resin arrow effect. Not necessary in my opinion.

I kind of agree with you. I'd like to see an actual side picture to see what's happening there. I get that they are doing it to show the power effect, but he's not whistling so why would the arrow be moving? Also, at this front angle it looks like a balloon animal balloon that hasn't been tied yet lol.

Agree. This is what frustrates me at times with these statue companies. Sometimes LESS IS MORE people.

I JUST realized that the arrow is coming up around his back over his shoulder. Didn't see that the first time. So that's odd. I'm assuming that piece would NOT be attached during shipping and key in during assembly so maybe you can choose to not have the candy arrow effect afterall.

I’m sure that is the case.

Popcultcha has this in stock and has a 20% off code -melt.

If your in the states like me this is gonna be your best deal to get this. Came to $161 USD shipped.

Sideshow is going to eventually have this, but not till sdcc, and who knows what the price will be. I would think probably $149.99, but then tax and shipping. So over $161.

I have no idea how long it will take to arrive but I will post pics when it does.

Received this today from Popcultcha. Honestly this is 1 of the best 1/10 scale statues I've ever seen. The base on this is un-necessarily heavy, but everything else is top notch. The sculpting on Yondu and his clothing. Detailed texture inside his coat, on the outside of his coat, and the little neck handkerchief piece are wonderfully done. Groot looks great as well. Lots of detail to his little face and body.

Only negative I have currently is the arrow. It's 1 solid piece, has a key in the middle that keys into his back, although it doesn't stay because it has no magnet in that key. Has another key that's a small metal post that is supposed to key into the inside of his jacket but I tried for 10 minutes straight trying to get it in there and couldn't do it. So it's kind of just in his back key but sitting there. Should be fine and I will mess with it again when I have more patience to get the inside his coat key post in.
