Spent part of my Saturday unboxing my very first set from COO Models....the Viking two pack. I have to say, on the whole, I'm really very happy with them. For less the $200 per figure, you get an amazing set of accessories. The weapon blades and armor are all real metal. The outfits are all top notch. COO went to lengths to add some weathering. My one concern is the pleather looks like it might be a little creased, like aged. I'm not sure it that's intentional but I moisturized all the pleather just to make sure and it was thirsty.
The head sculpts are very good. I'm a little sad the head is a different color the body on one guy but you dont notice after geared up. The beards out of the box are a hot mess, but after combing and a little water shaping, generally behave.
If you get the two pack, you get a third helmet with a pony tail that looks good. The overall bodies seem tight, but swapping the hands is kind of a pain because the wrist pegs are very stiff. Hot water to soften may be advised.
Also, all that metal makes em top heavy. The ankles are for the most part holding them, but the included stands will be necessary for long term posing.
Overall. I'm really happy w this set. My first COO models...$389 for both...great price. I recommend them.
The accessories are really nice, mostly metal and a lot of detail.....
Straight out of the box, their beards need a lot of futzing....but after working with them....the started to look better....
