A great review there man! 4 stars!
My little ol' Lurtz review

Reveived my exclusive today and love it!
The only minor nit-pick I have (suprised I haven't seen more complaints about it) is the lack of real leather straps on the glove armor on all the hands. It would match up with the straps on the shin armor (and everywhere else) and give the statue a more complete/finished look. Just looks like they cheaped out a little on a small detail like that, even though the WOW factor is there and most people wouldn't notice that.

Nice review Michael. I don't have the figure in hand yet, but I also noticed that Lurtz is leaning over a bit to much on various pix posted all around. I'm also worried about that. It looks a bit like he's about to fall. Besides that, you never know if the hollow base will continue to support the weight of the figure in a few years.

I don't think you really have to worry about either of those. The base is hollow, but very sturdy, and the metal peg on his foot is really too long to let him fall over. But I'm going to get something like some poster tack to put a bit under that back foot to straighten him up a bit.

I just had a look at mine...and compared to Michaels Pics, mine is standing a LOT straighter...I don't know if it's the angle he took some of the photos from...or, maybe his foot peg was set incorrectly, and that's why some of the Lurtz's are leaning to the right??
But, yeah...mine looks fine.

He leans. Some lean more than others. I'm going to get around to putting something under that back foot like poster tack to fix mine, and it shouldn't be too big of a deal. While he does lean, the metal post is so long on his left foot that it's unlikely he'll fall - but I still don't plan on bumping into him to find out.

I didn't want to start another Lurtz thread so I hope you don't mind me piggybacking off yours? 
To whom it may concern, here's my humble Lurtz review...

No I had that geocities site for a couple years now and just haven't done anything with it so I figured it was a good free hosting spot to put some reviews up. It's more for fun really. Taking pictures and writing reviews keeps me from doing real work.
I don't know about you but it takes a good two hours plus for me to write up a review like that and take some pictures. I was up until 2am last night.

2 hrs well spent Fritz. Your review was spot on and very insightful. As far as staring at it from different angles, I've found myself doing this many times too.

Yeah, it is fun. I totally enjoy doing my SW ones. It also takes a while to do them like you said.
