Lol, I just came here to post about the weight...couldn't believe that number when I heard it.

No doubt, it's an exquisite piece. Especially love the detail on the back of the throne. One knock? I think Maestro himself needs a bit of matte/dullcoat on his clothing. I've noticed that with fully sculpted pieces, clothing sometimes looks far too shiny which makes the piece look cheap. Dullcoat/matte can go a long way to fix it.

That said, I don't even want to know wtf shipping on this would be. I'd imagine 1k+ easy, and you are never, ever making your money back on this one.

Shipping is going to be crazy!
In a single box?!

I wouldn't be able to lift and carry that around, have to invest in a dolly to transport such a box.

Having a turntable built into the base is genius, I'm suprised other companies have not done it considering the amount of detail and easter eggs they put on those huge diorama style bases these days, I often find myself rotating some of my pieces slightly to get another viewing angle, the Prime 1 Guts for example is one that would have benefited from a built in turntable base.

For Sure, It Helps With Finding Where To Display The Piece Too. Also I Want To See That Sentinel Face.

This one is definitely the winner for the statue bench press club! I guess this is the endgame for "weight = quality" arguments, lol.

Seriously, they need to figure out a way to get that weight down. From a shipping perspective... but even a display perspective, you'll need a serious shelf/custom pedestal to even show this off. Make Maestro hollow, the whole thing out of something lighter, etc.
