Street Fighter V Laura Matsuda Statue by PCS 1/4 Scale

This arrived a couple of weeks ago. Back when the piece went up for pre_order i was
surprised at how quickly the piece sold out. To be honest, the season pass line does
not interest me. Ideally i wanted/want to see PCS release a SFV Laura Matsuda in
green and yellow full fight pose

Since this might be the first and last Laura Matsuda 1/4 statue, i decided to add it to
my collection after tracking one down on the used market, for a normal price.

All in all, it is a nice statue, and it is good to see PCS fixed the hair (the proto
featured a major error). Also, the yellow vest is missing the SEAN decal on the rear.

All in all, paint app looks good, not quite as tight compared to an XM Studios piece.

One area of paint that should have been better are the eye's. They look like old school
PCS eyes, white with black outlines. Lower quality compared Sideshow PF level.
The finish lacks gloss. I decided to paint over them with clear gloss.

The base looks nice enough, and is quite light weight. I can count atleast 8 air bubbles
in the clear.. plastic? The clear area feels like plastic. It would have been so much
better if PCS had used the same clear resin HMO use for their Sorrow statue, which
has a higher quality finish to it.

Thanks. Maybe some day PCS (..or Prime 1) will release a Laura Matsuda statue in green and yellow fighting gear, as pictured in the poster.

noiice!

i ordered this EX from sideshow when it first came out....came with some minor defects and wanted to return it for a refund but this was still during early covid season and they didnt take returns from what i understood so they had me smash it....it felt really good smashing a somewhat expensive statue to bits....i mean bits....tore up the box and print too....nothing spared....they should do that more often....that way it doesnt get recycled back to another customer...also would be a good way to blow steam....noticed they stopped doing this?
