Yeah, it doesn't really make sense there, just wanted to get some thoughts on how it looked.

I wanted to try the idea of the right hand "holding" the mask, but I'm worried to try it.

try some museum putty... just for an idea of how it would look... not as a permanent option.

Guess it would help if I read it all. Sorry, just trying to help you UK folks out. Might be worth asking them though?

What are your thoughts on placing on the base? Does this work? Which display do you prefer?


I really like it!

Can I ask to measure the statue without the spear? I mean, are the dimensions reported by P1 website correct?

Thanks

P1 is correct. It measures 18.5" at the widest part of the base.

Like it a lot. Few nitpicks after seeing the good statues (though I wouldn’t say they would stop me from buying it if I really wanted it):

1. Quills. They are different than PT, period. And don’t like the ones on the production pieces. Too blunted, too thick.
2. Armor lack of weathering. It looks too much like bare metal. PT had depth in the armor due to shading/weathering. The lack of detail on the production pieces makes the armor almost a bland complement to the rest of the very detailed body.

And to be positive:
Rest of it , including sculpt is very good. For me, the best way to display it is the closed mouth unmasked. Would have gotten a regular edition if that head was in there. The closed mouth makes it almost too realistic.

Wouldn’t fault anyone for getting this.

The mask look pretty good on the base. Makes sense if you get what I mean.

Mask looks great displayed on the base. Both positions.
