It's coming EMS, so it should arrive this week if shipped tomorrow. I'll take a ton of pics. I also should be getting my Raiden sword today too.

That sword is ****ing awesome you're going to love it! Watch out though, it's mildly sharp and its really oily when you first get it. I would suggest taking it out with napkins and wiping it down. Also you may need an Allen wrench to tighten up some of the plastic plates that are on the handle.
Did you get the black one or the chrome one?

They're reselling them with the custom stand too.

Whoa that's so cool man! Bring that on a bad day to work. I would.

You know, I'm really happy for you. I'm bummed at the same time though, I never got those stands with mine and I ordered it with them. They said they didn't have any more and to check back with them. I should really message them back and see if they have any extras around even if I have to buy them. The stands I have a pretty cool but those are way more fitting to that sword.
Don't think I wouldn't consider it.
The original listing didn't say the stand was included, but now it does. Hopefully they didn't **** the listing up, and I'm not getting it. I'll post pics tonight of it.
Alright cool! I'd love to see the sword on those new stands. I just messaged sword axe to see what they can do for me about those stands, hopefully I can get them.

Btw, is it legal there to carry prop swords for the lols?
Carry? It's illegal to carry any bladed weapon as far as I know.

Oh yeah, forgot that it falls into the bladed weapon category. I wonder if you need a permit for those if you're bringing to cosplays and such. I remember going to a cosplay and this dude had such a realistic lookin' assault rifle, for a sec I thought I was in danger.
Anyway, have you thought about how to display it? Did you got your extra shelves you told me about?

Well the sword is a Valentine's Day present from my girl. I went with the sword, since I don't have a way to get the cabinet to my house. I'm going to have to buy it at some point on my own, and pay a crazy shipping cost.

Got my nendo snake finally. Wow this thing is tiny. It's like the size of a Kubrick with a big head. All the pictures sure made him seem a lot bigger than this.
I feel like the packaging cost more to make than the figure itself. I'd rather forego all the accessories and just have him at a cheaper price. I'm not really a fan of accessories anyway. They all just end up in bags that I put in a big box. He should really come in packaging around the Revol mini size.

If it's real metal or anything like that, even for a cosplay, it's generally not allowed, though sheathing it is usually ok. Cardboard, plastic or even duct tape is fine (I have a few props) but conventions have been cracking down on props hard lately.
Wow, that small?!?!?! Well, i paid more for some of my kubricks i guess. Its funny that the people who got him before you never mentioned this.

It's slightly bigger than a Kubrick (body-wise) but thicker in general. Still it's super tiny. The body is 2 inches tall and the head is another 1.5 inches.
Whoa, diasappointment. I hope its really cool at least.
No sword tonight, stupid post office I guess delayed it.
That sucks man, sorry for your losses. I got a message from that seller and they said theyd check into the stands to see what they can do.

hey guys, ummmh... there's something Im worried about and I need your pro tips for this.
Is regarding posing old snake (rah). How dafuq do I get to make this pose!?
I can't move or bend the right arm like the picture since the vinyl makes him go bak to the default position, also cannot move the wrist. I would really appreciate some posing alternatives from you. I already know this rah's are hardo to pose, but with old snake I'm too afraid to break any joints.
EDIT: Also I can't move the thighs, only the joint under the knee, is this normal?
