Mortighull - Risen Reaper General Premium Format Figure (court of the dead)

[Vallos]

I can't wait until they update the site so we can read up on these characters. Hopefully it will explain why his arms are bound.

and maybe say what happened to his skull.

it looks like he might have been cracked in the head a few times even before he had those blades put in there, I suppose it might just be that he used to be a warrior on a battlefield and that might have been how he died.

Blood, has an interesting theory that make sense (Court of the Dead Thread).

Still though, the two distinct names gives me a little pause to conclude it is a reborn Demithyle. I'm looking forward to his character profile to open up on the site.

thats a cool theory Blood has there. and very well could be true. that would explain the extra arms being bound behind him too.

will def be interesting to find out once they fill us all in.

But the waving blade is poor addition to me, why waves ? this is the weakness of the statue imo.

[EnShinNoi]

Why waves? Because it looks cool

Its not a wavy blade. Its is called a Kris. The Kris is a Javanese asymmetrical dagger most strongly associated with the culture of Indonesia or Javanese culture but also popular to Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei and Singapore. It is known as kalis in the southern Philippines. The kris is famous for its distinctive wavy blade.

Both a weapon and spiritual object, kris are often considered to have an essence or presence, considered to possess magical powers, with some blades possessing good luck and others possessing bad. Kris are used for display, as talismans with magical powers, weapons, a sanctified heirloom (pusaka), auxiliary equipment for court soldiers, an accessory for ceremonial dress, an indicator of social status, a symbol of heroism, etc.

A kris is a dagger. It's sometimes hard to categorise fantasy weapons but I suppose a flameberge greatsword would be closest
