Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

One of you should still check beforehand though bud.

Hopefully they won't pull that with the maquette, but better safe than sorry - especially after all that wait (and after the LSB's weight)

I would still want to see it in hand.. Plus I flexed it.. SO I would not want to deal with the charges for that..

Of course I will keep an eye out for reviews.. I am not as worried about the weight as long as it don;t look cheap... Of course I don;t want this to be all plastic either.. It needs to be worth the price thats for sure.

No material list on this one. Safe to assume a vinyl Maquette.

Once again - read it carefully . . .

It only takes 1 email to Customer Service to MAKE SURE

The Sideshow site for the 1:4 Jungle Hunter maquette is here - https://www.sideshowtoy.com/collecti...ibles-3001581/
  • It gives the product weight as 20 lb / 9.07 kg
  • It also states it is "clad in his traditional armor which is a combination of polyresin and fabric elements."
Based on what they have done with the Wolf 1:2 LSB, and the way they have phrased the description, it's possible the armour is the ONLY bit that is polyresin, and bulk of the maquette is plastic

Might be worth one of you checking before this ships!

You'd think that this would be made in a similar fashion to the P2 maquette which is very heavy. But it doesn't hurt to ask. It's probably the sensible thing to do with every item going forwards in fact until the description of materials becomes more clear.

Exactly.

The 1:4 P2 Maquette is listed at the same weight as this (20lb) so the P1 SHOULD be made in the same way, with the same materials.

It's just that after the Wolf LSB fiasco it's TOTALLY worth at least 1 person getting off their arse and checking.
