KONG V REX IS HERE!

[The Josh]

DAMMIT!!! I gotta stop reading this thread before I buy this.

The UPS delivery guy noted that it was a severely damaged box so I was really worried that it would have to go back to Fireside Bob.

yeah, mine was beat all to hell too. and mine had a couple small chips in the fur also, but you could only find them after close inspection. so Im not going thru the trouble of shipping him back.

AMAZING piece!!

OMG, what an absolute stunning piece.. I might just have to bite the bullet and get it!!

Matt I am really sorry about this so far yours the only to have had a problem. I find it kinda funny though as yours was actually the closest box to me. As you already know UPS will be buy to pick that Refrigerator box up from you.


Congrats JS nice to see yours arrived in good shape and I am glad your happy with it.

Bob, mine got here safe and sound today also. Thanks!

To anyone on the fence, here are a few comparison shots of mine that I took a while ago:

Fellas, what are the dimensions of the base?

Thanks!!

I love the look of this statue! I must resist, I must resist.

The base dims are 10" x 17" but the V-Rex hangs off the back so you'll need
at least 12" of shelf depth for it, and 14" to 16" would be even better.

To anybody on the fence - You WON'T be sorry getting this statue.
It is HUGE, and it looks absolutely, positively fantastic!

At $350 or even $400 this is a steal (to me).
Buy now - think later!

He looks pretty good next to Sauron. Great looking piece just not sure where money will play at. Weta nailed another one but I still don't feel it's better than many of the LOTR pieces.

It is though Josh - easily as good or better than some/many LOTR pieces.
It definitely holds up well with the Cave Troll, and if it had an edition size
of 750 or less I belive people would be much more excited about it, and
you wouldn't be finding it for $350 any more at this point.

Kong is as big as Cavey, and then you get an extra Dino ta boot!

No matter what the edition size, this statue KICKS @$$!

JS's humble opinion: This one is a no-brainer!

I agree it's better than several not all but several. It's very awesome and I thought so when I saw it at SDCC. It along with the Predator Maquette where the two pieces Non-LOTR that really made an impact on me.

I agree the ES does have some people on the fence with this one. That's not my reason but I expect for many it is.

Yup, I remember it being huge and your right the ES doesn't matter this piece kicks ass.

[BDboystoys]

lovely pics! you have alot of nice products!

 

[mlarsen]

Very nice pics! I really like the black and white one.

 

[CptCosmo]

Got mine too. It's impressive. More so than I thought it'd be. I'm really impressed with the mounting pins. Heavy duty indeed. I haven't decided if I like the Kong plaque on the front though. It has that Danbury feel. I mean really isn't it obviously Kong?

The sculpt and paint are great. I don't think Weta laser scanned Naomi's face for this one, but it's not bad. Not bad at all.

 

[CptCosmo]

I like that Miller print too.

That's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks !!!!

 

[SnapJimmy]

Looking at those pics is like a torture...
Mine is still not here yet...

HAHAHA. Good one! Anyone who's seen this in person will know what he's talking about. I actually wish they would have left Ann out of the piece altogether, and had Kong's hand be a fist instead. The way that Ann looks is really my only gripe with this piece. It's nearly perfect!

The paint apps on the T-Rex's scales and Kong's fur are REALLY good. The T-Rex's eyes and mouth are also very well done.

This piece is an absolute steal at $350.

Finally got mine unboxed and displayed and its bloody awesome!
the best piece I have EVER received bar non. WETA did a fantastic job on this. Pity Anne's arm had detached itself. Ive got a new one, inspected by weta on the way but right now Im just enjoying admiring this piece from every angle. Just brilliant.
