Great price for the size of this dio!

Great looking statue but I'm not sure what's up with that hair?
Tarzan is clearly described as having long black hair. This seems almost red.

Base needs more green as well I think.

But love the muscle structure and pose. Imposing piece.

 

[BigWhammo]

I agree with the hair color being off.

 

[AC_808]

Not just off ...he's hair needs to be black.

It's an outstanding statue, tho. The sculpt is spot on and the pose is very dynamic.

 

[Pork Chop Express]

Yah, hair needs to be darker for sure. Considering size price is not bad at all. Ex with broken spear shaft. Like it but I'm hesitant on the order button....

 

[The Giamontan]

It's an amazing looking piece of art! All sorts of cool motion captured there. Great price for the massive size of this statue! Tarzan's hair does need to be dark. Of course I'm just glad they didn't give him bangs in his hair. Nothing bugs me more than someone who has never cut their hair but somehow manages to keep the bangs short.

That's great! Awesome work!

 

[Pork Chop Express]

Good to hear, once new pics are previewed I'll decide.

Oh awesome, thanks for the update!!
Emphasizing the green mossy stain in the base to would help add some color to the dark dio. I can see on close ups that its in there a little but more would definitely help!

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

Well he is in a jungle, exposure to sun could dye his hair lighter.


But I'm just sitting here (still) waiting for Jane...

 

[SAB]

They have released the photos with the new black hair!
Have updated first post.

 

[Pork Chop Express]

Much better! Ok, now the hard part of parting with more money and deciding on available space.

 

[AC_808]

Very nice! The change in hair color made a big difference!

Wait...how'd he get that knife? You'd expect something more primitive.

Not really, it fits the time period.


Bowie-style Hunting Knife,
circa mid 1800s to early 1900s

These images are really selling me, they show Tarzans fury & power rather well.

Something a little more primitive would be cool but....
This is actually more correct to the original novel. Tarzan finds his father's modern hunting knife inside the cabin when he visits it and the thing is in good condition. He doesn't know the cabin is his father's but he treasures the knife. It's the first real weapon he ever has.

 

[SAB]

It'd be cool to have a lion skin loin cloth in a mustard yellow color ...just to give the statue a bit of extra pop.
Or a leapord (or jaguar) skin with the pattern on there.

Lol well that's what I was asking. I assumed it was his father's, just didn't know. Makes more sense.

well the ex is a broken spear shaft so that works ;p
