U.K collectors, £360 a good price for this?

I've had to smash a few statues.

UK retailers are charging closer to £500, so yes. I got mine for $700, which at the time worked out at about £465, though that was direct from HK very soon after release.

Cool. I collect Statues but this looks great in 1:4 scale.

I opened mine last night and WOW this guy is huge. I tired posing it with out the stand, but it was pretty difficult due to figure being so heavy, So I used the base and it made it a lot easier to pose an photograph.

I ordered one this morning Col and already being delivered on Tuesday!

Hi Brett. How's it going mate?

Price seems very good and in stock? Mine said pre-order.
Would be my first HT but I'm happy to give it a look and move it on if it doesn't impress.

You tempted with the CP P2 Bust?

So got mine today. One problem I have is getting his neck off for the Downey sculpt. Any ideas?

I had/have this issue. Loop a piece of string round the base of the neck and use it to pull it out.

I just consider it a nice workout for my index finger and thumb and give the ball joint good yank ha

My neck was easy. Took the helmet off, just like any other, and then gripped the nub that the head sits on and the whole neck piece came out.

Consider yourself lucky if you've been able to get it out without any hassle

Simple at this stage.. Yeah, this sort of pose has been shown dozens of times before, done better, and with a better camera/photographer... but he scares me a little...

Popcultcha... almost $200 charge while stuck at Aucklands Customs...

Should be here Tuesday. Hope it's worth the dough being my first HT.

Someone said there's a bit of weight to it?

 

[InebriatedGnome]

It's heavy. Not absurdly so; I think the figure is all plastic except for the knees. But it feels solid in your hands.

I'm having some trouble putting mine on the stand—how are you all doing that? It feels like a stupid thing to ask, but the clear rod doesn't seem to go high enough once it's pushed in all the way.

I couldn't either so he's around it with base between legs

You can adjust the height of the little crotch cradle thing on the rod... Works for me

I found playing with the levels of his feet to improve the stability (mine kept wanting to lean forward), and putting his right foot on the obvious flat rock, and the left on the flat section further back so if you put the sentry head with the body it will sit in front of the foot. As bases go, it is pretty restrictive in what it allows you to do in regards to placement and balance.

It's great to see so many people purchasing this figure. I'm hoping this encourages HT to go full steam ahead with their QS line.
