I hope, but we'll see.
Even though it's still going to be days of moving stuff around before I can display it, I decided to crack it open to check for damage.
This is taking up just all the free floor space in the attic right now. I literally have no room to remove the box top and layers and set them aside.
Can't get to the base or cape, I was only able to check the figure and a couple heads/hands.
Heads- Was concerned about those fine tendrils of hair, but I'm not seeing any problems. Just be careful fishing those out.
Jarnbjorn/Mjolnir- Hope the magnet is strong on Jarnbjorn because it's large & weighty, and it's going to be battling gravity the whole time.
Mjolnir seems a lot lighter.
Paint apps- I'm surprised how dusky and dark the skin tone(s) are. Reminds me of the last Wolverine PF. If anything, I would have expected him to be on the fair-haired pale side.
Precision-wise, they look great, and it looks like there is some subtle, sophisticated coloring in the skin (like greens for veins), but the general darker values are throwing me off.
I don't think it will get picked up in most photos. I had that problem with Wolverine. Every pic I took looks about 4 steps lighter (and more appropriate to the character) than it actually is.
How's yours look in that dept. Merovingian?
The Body- WoW!. I especially love the texture and color of blue on the pants in conjunction with the yellow on the boots. Those primaries, along with the red cape, are going to add some fun color to the room.
Here's the box art, in case anyone is interested.

From what I can see so far, ^ major understatement.
