Premium Format Dutch

Thanks Just need to sort out my displays now!

Dang. I'm always *****ing about prices in Australia but at least with their import taxes and the Fedex arrangement means I'm not priced out.

I can't imagine I'd be much interested if I had to piss away a quarter on nothing.

Yeah we've got it pretty good at the moment with the dollar the way it is. If/when that goes south I might have to get less figs.

I don't mind paying the $$$ for FedEx coz its worth it - they always get here in a week our under.

Fed-Ex are awesome. Despatched on the 1st delivered on 5th.
U.S to U.K in 4 days. Pity about the bill that follows.

yeah, FedEx are top notch. Dutch hit Singapore when I went to bed and the guy was knocking on my door the next afternoon?! Fist pumps were all over the shop.

For the size and weight of these packages, we do have it really good.

Triple 6, surely a devil figure, broken stogie glued to his crotch area and a quality control sticker holding up his pants.

Pics!

He's cool but I'm quite underwhelmed to be honest. Didn't get the 'wow' I got when opening the P1 LSB.
Base is really nice.
Head sculpt is amazing, best part about it.
Skin texture and paint apps are poor. The knives are really badly painted and the fingers bleed into the gloves.
The fabric parts look really cheap IMHO.
The vest doesn't cover the left arm seam or the back of the neck where the head slots in. As expected the regular portrait looks much better suited, the cigar is totally wrong for the pose.
As said nice but not amazing as most have suggested. My opinion of course.
Will take some pictures tonight.

Dang, sorry you didn't get that wow factor. It was def a wow piece for me. I really love Arnie and Predator though so it could have been a steaming turd in a box moulded into Arnie's left nut.

Sounds like a dud. I'll be very much content with a reg... if I ever decide to buy one. At this rate however, it's not looking good. I hate the pose he's in. A sort of slanted diagonal pose. Then all the excessive pours in the skin? Looks like he has craters from acne! And the EX accessory has to be right up there with some of the BIGGEST SS EX fails EVER!
Ex or fail my a**!

 

[Collectorcol]

Will probably keep it because it's Dutch but might move it on, really don't know right now.
SS paint apps really aren't what they used to be.
After my 2 pre-orders, fingers crossed, I'll probably leave it at that.

I find most EX are fails. At least with dutch you get another head sculpt and the cigar is iconic for that character.

EX is always something retarded like a switch out hand or a hat (looks at sold out bats and joker). It still adds value for re-sale so it's worth it in the long run.

I plan on picking up the regular for a bit cheaper when I get the chance. I really dont see what the hell the big hype is over the EX for this one.

lol your selling yours

Yeh I've put it up.
If I got my money back I'd be quite happy to get something else that fits in with my collection better. Otherwise I'd still be happy to keep it.
Really undecided so if it sells it sells if not...well not.
Also, if it bleeds...we can kill it!

Managed to sort the vest to cover the shoulder join but can get it to stay over the neck seam. He also has a lump on his left forearm.
The vest has a little pull in it right by the shoulder.
It's not a big issue but it's really doing my head in. It's too small to complain about but really noticeable. I keep telling myself he's just trawled through the jungle so it snagged on a branch but its not working. £300! It should be perfect with no issues.
I think these 'small' issues are stopping me from enjoying it?
