Mine just arrived today. My very first Sideshow statue!
It was actually a funny story: I had to leave, but was hoping the UPS guy would come before I had to. I drove away accepting that I'd just have to wait till tomorrow, but I saw him come inside my community gate as I was heading out of it. Made a hard u-turn, followed him to my house, signed the pad, bam! Boromir
I've seen all the pictures throughout the web and after a LOT of internal debate, I went for it. And let me tell anyone who's a fan of the LOTR movies (because the book Boromir has dark hair and wears a helmet) and on the fence of buying this. GO FOR IT. I mean it's just such a presence on my shelf now, a lot bigger than you'd think. Unless you already have 1/4 scale PFs or something. These and any other pictures out there just don't do it any justice. No offense to proud our photographers, I believe that about all pics of statues.
The lower strap on his left arm was broken, just like everyone elses, so that wasn't a big deal for me. I was prepared for that. However, in the process of sticking the spike onto the flag, my inexperienced self broke part of where it was supposed to
easily slip in. I was thinking about just gluing the damn thing on, but I figured I should ask you guys first if I should or should not.
Anyway, # 0009/1000 got me so juiced! The first thing that came to my mind as I was putting it together was how beautiful and stunning the statue was. The second was, "What did I just get myself into?"
lol.
