yup, listen to Pro Design and you'll be alright it was his pics that made me see that it was workable

I'll give it a look. Did your cape come with any snags? Mine has maybe 2-3.

negative... it was pretty clean. to be honest, i've thought about weathering it some... a little dry brushing i think would go miles on this thing.

thx dude!

Here's some pics of my cape weathered up pretty good. I also added the scar over the eye on the yelling sculpt. The figure itself isn't final yet though.

OK so here's what the helmet can look like with a little water treatment. Basically get 2 cups of water. One with ice cold water and the other... microwave it for about two minutes until it just starts to boil. I used a twist tie around the lower half of the helmet to pull the lower tips together and hold them there. Then Dip that end of the face plate in to the hot water for about 8 seconds. Then immediately put the heated tip part in the cold water for another 8 seconds to set it. Also the black fur part of the helmet should be more tightly gathered together like a horse's tail and not frilly or wide spread. So I also dipped my tail portion of the hair part of the helmet in the hot water for about five seconds and shaped it and let it dry to what you see below in the pictures which is more screen accurate. That's your 5 min fix to improve the look 100%

I'll give this an attempt on the weekend, thanks! By the way, my cape doesn't have snags on it per se. After inspecting it last night, they more look like "dents" in the fabric. I assume from how it's wrapped around the cardboard piece.

That's pretty good!

That looks damn good. Nothing wrong with this figure at all.

Does anybody know if they are still doing Queen Gorgo? Haven't seen anything since the sculpt teaser way back when.

God those knee joints are awful...

Looks great but no neutral face.

I didn't see the sequel. Was it any good?

Yes, very enjoyable.

Yes, very enjoyable.

Alright. I'll give it a watch one of these weekends. I like the figure, but no neutral head is a bummer.

 

[Stryker2011]

No neutral head? Pass.

 

[Gipetto0812]

was actually excited for this since I have Leonidas but no neutral sculpt makes this one a pass. also pretty bummed that the 'skirt' is plastic instead of a leather type material. With all that said, I'll probably pic up the body for my Maximus custom and maybe even for Achilles

 

[Underworld54]

Artemisia!!!!

 

[The Green Goblin]

Is that supposed to be Eva Green? If yes, they totally botched it.
