It's not a figure you can do a lot with, since if you raise his arms it spoils the lines of the coat. Plus with both sculpts he looks bored, or dazed, or lost in deep thought. Especially so in the photograph, but on display the natural shadows help.
Looks great Asta. How does he compare to other 1/6 figures as far as size goes?
Hmm, feels to me like the coat might be a bit too short now with the longer ankle pegs. Although I'll have to see how the proportions look with the Jnix sculpt on it. I've never paid much attention to Gosling's height before, so if he has to be a bit shorter for the outfit to work than I can probably live with that.
I levelled up the original photo using Flickr's editing tool:
Then I cropped the image and resized it to match the movie still:

The thing that actually stands out to me now (looking at the larger original movie still) is that SuperMad's sweater is too short.
Looks amazing to me...especially for third party and the price...
Another photo of the wounded sculpt:
And the one I didn't photograph closely before:
For the price this set puts a lot of other companies to shame.
SuperMad certainly put the effort in with paint, tailoring and weathering. They might take a long time, though some of that was completely out of their control, but they take pride in their work unlike some companies who just do enough to satisfy the orders (e.g., Blitzway's Zorro, Hot Toys' Jawa and Gonk, Toys Works' Jessica Jones).
Plus they aren't greedy, even when compared to other companies producing unlicensed figures. K only cost me 103.05 GBP including delivery, which in today's money is 134 US dollars.
For two sculpts, the intricate clothing, accurate boots (though you only see half of them) and all the accessories, it feels like a steal. But don't tell SuperMad Toys that.

You're in the UK Asta? Me too.......wonder where my K is then.
This so much.......
K will be a very sought after figure. Might be SM best effort yet. Although I have to admit the 6 million dollar man looks pretty awesome .
