Well this is just a statue... not a fully clothed, articulated, piece. The paint apps are very good, but not HT level.
The sword isn't even metal. And I'm a bit peeved that it doesn't even have hamon detailing (the wavy texture on the edge of the blade). For any katana lover/enthusiast, this detail is desired for as it represents a traditional, authentic katana (something the Dragon Sword very much is).
$300 is a lot. $250 hurts less of course. But I guess I can stomach it a little since the edition size is so small and it came out well, other than these nit picks. Such a relief after the disastrous NGII 1/4 statue.
