Question Opinions on Corgi Colossus statue

Since I have a Bowen Colossus FS en route to me to go with three other Colossus pieces I already have, I've been considering buying a lot more stuff of the tin man.

Has anyone seen a Corgi Die-Cast Metal Colossus in person? Or any of the Corgi series? Thoughts? Opinions?

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

My LCS has one on display forever, the actual paint job is not as good as that prototype pic, the silver is rather dull/flat and it looks overall lacking decent details.

But the weight of these Corgi statues is the charm point, very solid and heavy, add a point or two to it's final score, I'd give it 6 out of 10.

It would be ideal to pick these up at a discounted price, otherwise you have to be a real Colossus freak or a completist of this line to buy it.

has anyone seen a THOR in person? (not meaning to hijack...still corgi related)

Colossus looks cool, but I have never seen him up close.

Sure! If you think about it next time you're in your LCS, that'll be cool. If I can get one fairly cheap, I think I may do pick one up.

shipping can be ugly with the weight...

my LCS is having a moving sale, 40% off everything, I'll see if they still have the Colossus.
