Here is a horrible photo of Death. It was taken with my cell phone in a temporary spot with horrible lighting. I like the statue.

Thanks for the pics guys. I'm still not sold on him though.I've read everything from Court of the Dead and this for me just doesn't seem to capture how powerful,majestic Death is as a character

I have The Aspects of Death Masks pre-ordered so I need to make a call on this soon.

Had a chance to look at this first hand today. Pictures with the flash on certainly don't do it justice. Still, looking at him next to Demithyle didn't do him any favours.

Cancelled. Based on what I'm seeing he seems to have lost his regal essence from proto to prod piece, and he's too expensive to take a flyer on.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

I cancelled mine because I could only get this or iron man mark 3 ex and iron man won. I’ve seen some videos and think he looks nice...may get one down the road.

For what its worth, he is more impressive in person. That is not to say he matches up to the prototype but he certainly looks better than what most photos (including mine) are representing. What you see in DGK's photos is what you will be getting in person.

This is what I think is creating the disconnect. Demithyle is ridiculously amazing and Death should have risen above it. And the fabric parts are what takes him down. The puckered sleeves and the the weird pointy things on his lower area and the extremely odd way of attaching the cape all contributed to the costume being a big NO!

I find no faults beyond the odd cape attachment.
