I should have him by next week Wednesday...hopefully

I know his sword will be plastic and perhaps the chain and shield as well

F4F’s were plastic/pvc and Mondo’s were made from egg shells and dung. I don’t think it will be a big deal. It’s all about the skin tone and face with with Gantaku’s.

I hope they hint at who they’re making next. They’ve been pretty quiet lately. They can’t say this piece didn’t sell well, it’s near impossible to find after the videos came out.

The F4F swords were not plastic, but not sure about the shield though.

Even if the Gantaku version is, I'm not going to fret about it, because this version of him just looks stunning

Thanks for the correction. I didn’t even realize they were metal. I try and stay away from touching things like that because they usually break.

I'm looking forward to seeing in hand pictures

Arrived a few days ago.

A beautiful sculpt with a lot of great detail and texture. Paint application is done really well and very clean. However, build quality is not on par, a lot pieces don't sit flush, magnets are weak or not making contact. Major fitment issues with mine, I was hoping they would have learned from all the problems they had with producing Prototypez Ryu but I guess not.

It looks fine in photos but it doesn't feel stable in person. Hopefully it's not a reoccurring issue.

Wow - the hair bang is broken and glued back with a line across it. Was it shipped like that or it arrived broken and you just glued it back? Close ups of the hair overall is a bit disappointing. The rest look good. Looks a bit leaning forwards but might be the camera. Thanks for sharing the pics though.

So sorry to hear that HiTMan. Shame that it would have this. More than likely my statue will have these issues...
But must say that paint app looks great

Thanks for sharing and input on this piece

He looks beautiful. Sorry to hear about the build quality though.
