1/6 SCALE URUK HAI COMMANDER - SIBERIAN CUSTOM STUDIO

[Giimli86]

12 $40 payments seems like the most sensible way to go to really break down that remaining balance.

I didnt dare to ask him for 10 $42 invoices from the remaining $420 I had on Inart Aragorn (I payed $140 as the first instalment), but who knows what he finds as sensible and what as ridiculous.

If he won’t do that, I’ll just set that amount aside each month just coz It’ll make me feel assured that, whenever the balance payment is due, it won’t sting so hard.

PO window closes today so, time to start tearing this thing apart!

There’s actually surprising little to complain about.

Top row- Actual costume, Premium Sideshow Statue, Weta Classic series
Bottom Row- Weta, Siberian Customs, Diamond Select

As Neko pointed out previously, it appears that one layer of the torso armour is definitely missing and what is there is angled too horizontally.

This old photo from the NZ premier Actually captures the Uruk scout armour design very clearly.

From this, we can see there are 5 overlapping rows of torso armour, which segment below the chest into pairs to mimic abs, with the uppermost section seemingly being made of leather.

This top area needs the most work of SC’s figure as, adding another metal ab piece is simple.

I’d recommend studying the Premium Format Figure for the best reference of what material should be used and where.

I’ll await any feedback here before presenting my case to the man himself.

Still so tempting I think if the face didn’t look so much like a piranha, I’d bite

I talked to Siberian on Facebook and he said no changes will be made. Bummer but still an awesome looking figure until InArt does one.

He’s still doing the gripping hands though, right?

Yes

 

[Wor-Gar]

Any word on this after a year?

 

[Chopper Face]

Nope. Just occasional production updates on Siberian's Instgram.

He's much more focused on his Jack Slater figure at the moment, which has a very poorly advised, fixed side-stare and look of perpetual disdain.

Did y'all take a vote on that?

I hate custom runs.

The wait, the misinformation, the run gets derailed by the two loudest voices, delays, no communication... and the piece rarely comes out so good you never need an upgrade. I like it better when an artist just offers up his wares in a small batch for sale.

Finished on time (last day of September). Last Payment invoice going out soon

 

[Wor-Gar]

Alright!!!

 

[Chopper Face]

Just received one of my InArt Aragorns as well so the Amon Hen showdown will soon be complete!

Plus I can now decide whether I’ll sell of Weta Lurtz or this.

Honestly, $800 is a crazy good value for a custom figure imo. I just recently paid off my full custom Jill Valentine, and while its no slouch in its own right, I think its far more simple than this figure here, and it was $1250. Makes me wish I hopped on this run when it was open lol.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Just eager to see the production piece.

Looks great, it’s not cheap, but $780 isn’t bad for a custom figure.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Looks great!

Very happy that Siberian Customs pulled it off. Promising future.

At what point does it stop being a "custom" figure? Cause from all the images it looks like theres hundreds of them

 

[Wor-Gar]

After seeing InArt's Legolas price, I would consider this now.
