I didn't realize how big that mofo was.
Ya know, we probably do. I have quite a few ladies, but also quite a few male statues too. I would say my collection is fairly diverse, but I'm trying to dial it in as storage is beginning to fill up too fast.

Those dinosaurs are probably female.

just got finished repacking my EX RS for storage and just wanted to say really quick that this is easily one of the best statues of 2017. mine arrived pretty much flawless. the only issue on mine is on the right boot on the front, there is a triangular piece on the top shin area that is open and should have been painted a flesh tone but on mine it looks like that small bit was overlooked. no big deal and can't be seen really especially when RS is attached to the base because the right boot is facing downwards. swords seem to be metal but have not tested them yet. base is quite heavy. does not feel like there's any hollow areas inside the cast.

art box also had very minimal damage from shipping.

so really a great statue.

Exact same problem... with that front piece that attaches to the base, it sticks out to far to allow the axe to fit in the Besta. Oh well, she still looks awesome with the swords. Planning to take out the Besta's and build a custom display soon, so maybe this will be the extra motivation needed to get started on that.

Just got her tonight. She is GLORIOUS. My only grip is the paint app on her hair. it looks a bit blotted in some areas, but it's hard to notice unless you're really close so I'm fine with it.

I'm going to edit an unboxing vid over the weekend. If anyone has any requests for pictures / video let me know.

How badly do you need the Axe? I waited too long and missed out, but then, after a bit of thought, I realised that I prefer the two sword option.....

It would be nice, but not essential I suppose. I,lol give it a couple of weeks and see what happens.
