$140 is a steal, especially since the only other way to get something like this would be the custom route... and probably wouldn't be half as good.

The price is fantastic. Dredd was the same and turned out great. I'm sure this one will be the same. If Hot Toys did this it'd be $100 more and wouldn't look any better.
Riddick is my favorite character of Vin Diesel's.
I love that scene 
I still need to see the third film.
I still need to see the third film.
The 3rd film is actually pretty good, like the 1st one only with more gore. I would like to see him do another one so it can be concluded.

I liked the third film mainly because it was more like the first. The second film got a little to big for the character--like they were trying to redo Conan but in space.

Im not thinking about the customs but comparing it to previous art figure release of the same price, Dredd was loaded here its way more simpler.
Feels like a set, like the one released for Breaking bad, Fury etc... And its missing the breather on its belt to have the complete crematoria escape look.
Only think to me that justifies the price is the body wich is a muscular one unlike Dredd and co, but sadly its too thin.
Well whataver i say im definitly getting it and will use the clothes to update my custom
Was dissapointed by the 3rd Riddick, the not so great cgi and some set design gave a cheap overall look (also was not a big fan of the leather look he had lol) should give it another go maybe i was expecting too much
Well dredd was 170$ and this does come with less and is less complicated and 140$. Yeah it could come with a few more things though.
Seems like a pretty good figure, especially for the price. I wonder if there will be a second version of this figure if it gets released with a wrong colored dagger. They did that for Dredd with his vest. I have the Art Figures Dredd and Van Damme, both are pretty top notch figures. My only complaint is the Van Damme figure has black stains from the clothing and gloves. I don't really see that as being an issue with this figure probably since there isn't really much need to display him with his shirt off or anything.
i'm going to just repaint the knife myself, just like dredd.

There were 2 dredds?
Yeah, there was a second release for Dredd. The first release has black shoulder pads and the second release had gold shoulder pads. I think there were some other minor differences, but I don't remember what they were since I only bought the first release.

+1 just was viewing ebay pics of those on sale now and all are the same as mine. the golder pads were seen in all the proto pics and then on the many customized vers etc. but never on a production dredd direct from art figures i dont think.
Nope, there are definitely 2 releases for the Dredd figure. I got the first release and was disappointed with the shoulder pads. Then Art Figure re-released the figure later on with shoulder pads that were more gold. I sold my black shoulder pad vest and bought one that was more gold in color. Check the threads for the figure. I'm sure there's more information about it in there.

ahhh interesting had no idea, thks for the info.
yeah some people did get version with the gold shoulders, never actually saw anyone who had one though.
I saw an auction on eBay just now selling the vest with the gold shoulders. It definitely looks much better than the black shoulders. If I remember right there was at least one other difference between the two releases, but I couldn't tell you what it was. I was just happy to upgrade my vest without trying to paint it myself.
