KUMIK Death Bringer Selene

[SithKnite]

Got mine today. Came with 2 wigs, 2 pistols, holster, coat and extra hands and feet. Coat, pistols and boots are cheaply made. Holster is attached via a magnet which is great but they should have included 2 of them. I think the head-sculpt looks pretty good and the body seems to be well made. I paid $150 shipped which is probably $50 too much but overall do not regret buying the figure. Here are a few pics.

I like the face, but the rest ??? I dont know. Im sure if you fuss the hair this could look badass

Did you order from Toythrob Concept? If so, did you get a shipping notice or did it just show up?

Damn! Figure looks great! The likeness is not a 100%, but the headsculpt is amazing for the price!

No, I got it from ebay.

A fellow collector I know from another forum acquired the KUMIK female base body.

The bottom line . . . the body is not worth it.

News keeps getting better!

I just recieved the kumik body and I think it's very solid. It's obviously not made for revealing attire but has solid joints, construction and color match with the kumik heads. Not sure what the complaints are about.

Honest opinion, and at least I'm speaking from firsthand experience rather than trolling with secondhand opinions.

I got an order status email from KUMIK concerning my purchase but nothing concrete yet. Looks like it will be shipping to US customers in Feb.

Anyone get their shipping invoice from Kumik?

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

Yes. My shipping invoice from Toythrob Concept (that's Oobbuh) came yesterday through Paypal.

Well Bear,
I was trying to figure out if doing the pre-order & shipping was more cost effective than just buying on evilbay at $150 BIN with free shipping. Seems like the pre-order extras are the same as the one you can buy now. Like there are no perks to the pre-order way back in June of 2012. In fact I ended up paying $9 more!

I just received an answer from Greg Boo at Toythrob:

"Hi,

please note that the order that you made early last year is a limited release. The sculpt is handcrafted and hand painted thus quality is better as compared to the mass produced ones that you now see on ebay.

The mass produced ones are produced and painted by machines. The cost and retail price is thus lower than the hand crafted ones.

Kindly note that only 100 sets are produced for the limited release.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Greg"

Okay,

So mine arrived this morning...

Not as bad as I was afraid, but much worse than I would have liked!

The sculpt is good, the hair is bad, the body looks great, except for the hands and the articulation is good.

The suit is very good, the corset too but not screen accurate. The boots are plastic but look good, the coat is a real POS.

The guns are simple but look good. I had the surprise to find three little scraps of metal that I then identified as throwing stars and mine is missing the magnetic holster.

All in all, could make an awesome Selene, but will take tons of futzing and customizing. I don't regret buying as this is what I expected, but if you're looking for an awesome out of the box Selene, I wouldn't recommend it.

Hi, would you mind to take photo of your Selene head sculpt?

I am actually in the business of producing head sculpts, so far the factories I met in China is doing hand painting on all head sculpts. Even Hot Toy or Enterbay, I also know the team who do the painting for enterbay.

So this so called "distrubutor" from Singapore is bullshxtting. I also know some people in China who call themselves "distrubutor" of Kumik
