James Cameron's AVATAR A.M.P. Suit Maquette

[jrice73]

I hope you get a good one! take some pics please.

Yeah, pics would be good as there are not a lot out there yet. I guess its because the obvious problems people are having with these pieces.

I hope things go smoothly

Mine arrives tomorrow. Fingers crossed, please, amigos...

No pressure mate but your pictures will decide if I keep this or not…

 

[lightwave000]

There are plenty of pics out there already and it looks like the consensus is that the quality is subpar and lacks a decent paintjon and is priced about $700 too high.

AWESOME thank you for the pictures

 

[laudel7]

The suit looks great, but the person looks not so good

 

[Bezzerkerr]

these are the first pics i've seen with good lighting. it's an impressive piece, no doubt. I personally would love to own it...just not at that MSRP. Congrats, it's pretty sweet.

Rook, would you be so kind to take a pic of the AMP Suit, next to another Sideshow statue, for scale purposes?

 

[jrice73]

Yeah, those pics are the cream of the crop so far. You can actually tell that the AMP Suit is green and not gray. Good lighting. Quaritich still looks like he's gone the Klinger route on Panadora.

I can probably arrange that. I'll place it with a PF and a 12" figure. It'll have to wait until the morning, though.

 

[Figurefreaks]

Thanks Rook, I know I could count on you …stellar pictures (as always).
Except from a sloppy weathering paint job the Suit looks amazing.

I always intended to give it a little more mudding and weathering myself …and Quaritich is definitely going for a repaint.



It’s a little overpriced …but I will keep my order.

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]

WOW ! best pic so far.
that looks awsome.

Dam ! I want one.

 

[ComputerFly]

Great pics Rook!

I got mine today, and I'm pretty happy with it overall. The suit is well made. Mostly polystone, with plastic where you need plastic (canopy, etc).

Quaritch looks about how I expected him to look, nowhere near proto paint, but not too bad. I wasn't planning on displaying him anyway, but he is useful for showing the scale of the suit in relation to human, so I'll leave him there.

I wouldn't cancel an order on this until you see it in person.

 

[CptCosmo]

Those pictures of the suit have definitely put me more at ease. The Quaritch mess I can deal with, the suit is what has to sell me. I hope Sideshow comes forward and offers a figure swap for the Quaritch repaint that is needed.

I get mine on Tuesday.

[Atheris]

I know this is polystone, but the color makes it "look" like its plastic. Still, this thing could be gold plated...its still not worth $1200 imo.

[thx217]

Great shots, Rook. Congrats on the cool piece.

Great statue, let down by poor quality of the weathering.

A skilled painter could make it look awesome.
