JAWS

[pjam]

Couldn't wait till I got home, so at least opened up the outer box, ended up with #200 of #250.

The blueprints are about 22 x 17 and there are 5 sheets, one kinda of a sketch with a lot of notes an a shark that looks like the size of the Spruce Goose and the other 4 are the usual blue prints.

Box looks nice, wish I had brought my camera to work.

plus they stuck in the new Sideshow catalogue as well.

Way to go jair, get those pics up bro, be the first!

Damn! I want this now! Ship to the non-Flexpayers Sideshow!

 

[Jair]

ok ok here we go took about 8 pictures, only going to post 4 since they are pretty big.

I tried to take one next to my aussie sheppard to give some scale but he wanted no part of Jaws

Enjoy!!!

Nice! Please post the others.

How did you get him so close to the wall -- do his fins come off?

 

[pjam]

Wow, that looks really nice displayed, thanks Jair!

Love to see his jaws too! If you can...

 

[elwood49]

I just got my shipping notice! Bruce will be here on Friday. 29 pounds!

 

[Jair]

Nope Bruce's fins are stationary, the bookshelf he sits on is a good 3 or 4 inches from the wall. A few of the pictures with the poster in the background didn't come out so well, with the age of the poster, fact I have yet to have it linen backed and the lighting, the poster comes out looking worn.

He is very big though and my wife and I are debating on getting him a pedestal or another bookshelf with a wider top.

Here are a few more shots

You're goin to need a bigger shelf.

[Gruson]

Man, just an awesome piece!!!! Thank you for the pics.

I cannot wait for mine to get here. I have the regular version on order so it will be another week or so.



My display has been ready for a while, waiting for Bruce to arrive!!!!

 

[carbo-fation]

Great pics Jair! This is truely an amazing piece and I am really on the fence about getting this one.

 

[Gothmog]

Impressive pictures. I just got my shipping notice and can't wait.

JAIR!
Unbelievable shots!
That one of the shark beneath your framed JAWS poster (I have it framed EXACTLY the same way, literally brought tears to my eyes!

Terrific shots!
Thanks for sharing that with us!

HUGE, wonderful box...

So, does he come one piece, attached to the base, or do you have to put him on it?
Is there any construction to do with him etc.?

Thanks for all the info so far.

Great pics Jair, can`t wait for mine to arrive.

Question: Does the maquette display on the base either way, as I wanted to display him from left to right.

it was announced shortly after the product reveal when they were updating the base that he indeed would be able to display in either direction.

But since I dont have mine yet, i cant confirm 100%

EDIT: found it

One more cool new feature of this base...

We made the nameplate a separate piece, so those of you who don't like it, don't have to display it. If you like it, you can choose which side of the base to mount it on. He can be face forward, sideways, or ass backwards... whatever you like!

You can display Jaws either way as the base has a set of grooves around the outside edges and the plaque fits into those grooves, so it can be displayed pretty much all around the base.

Bruce itself only fits one way into the watery stand, its a nice tight fit too, no wiggle room at all. The finish on the outside of Bruce is a little uneven, some areas are very smooth to the touch, others are a bit rough, like a fine grade of sandpaper, but nothing major. The eye's look a bit different then the photos, but can hardly tell the difference.

Think I am going to have to get a larger bookshelf or pedestal for him, I have the Macfarlane Jaws set as well, was hoping to somehow display that below Bruce.

I have quite a few sideshow statues from Lotr to Starwars and so far this is my favorite among them.
