Yes I did.
Just been a bit busy. I got it on the 2nd of April.
I dusted the piece and just threw it into a cabinet.
I might do a longer write up later. But to summarise.
On display it looks quite impressive.
The likeness to the actor is great. Possibly the best there is.
Base light up is is terrific.
Haven’t even figured out how to switch on the Infinity stone yet.
The hair unfortunately doesn’t look near as good as the prototype. Doesn’t have that wet gel look. Reminds me of the Bale piece, where the hair is mostly held in place by glue, and as a result is extremely stiff. Some of the hair is loose, but not enough.
Be careful of the magnets on the leg wraps. The tiny magnets have simply been glued directly to the fabric. Maybe it’s weak glue, or else it was a bad idea right from the beginning. As it doesn’t take much to have them fall off. I tried to take both off, to dust etc, and within seconds the magnets pulled apart from one side of the fabric. So my suggestion, is that once you have them on, don’t even try to remove them.
The magnets holding the hands are quite weak too. The standalone hand in sufficient, but not so much the one holding the sceptre. Initially I thought, it was holding great, and the next second, it had fallen off! I had barely moved the statue.
The blade on my sceptre also has had its very tip chipped off. I’ll need to contact Sugo, but I still haven’t got around to it.
On second thought, I probably won’t need to do another write up. But if I have a chance I may post some photos later, but honestly you’ll probably see more just from Will’s YouTube video.
