PureArts - 1/6 Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher: Wild Hunt)

[JorjeCroft]

I would be Suprised unless it was a sculpted non rooted. Rooting is what holds back alot of time, so I doubt they'll give another Rooted sculpt for "free"

Sculpted one with a shaved sides and ponytail would be cool

 

[Akiratang]

Yeah a free sculpted I'd wouldnt complain, sometimes that has improved likeness lol

 

[R_R_X]

Yea I guess leather, metal and complicated armor design increased production price. I have never seen such chains on the armor, especially on 1/6 scale. More accessories would be cool but probably would increase price.

P.S. I won't be surprised if they'll add another sculpt. When they announced Blood and Wine statue it was coming with one sculpt, but was released with two sculpts.

The chain mail is actually not that great looking when you compare it to other 1/6 scale medieval figures from brands such as CooModel.

From what I've researched, the chain mail they're using on Geralt is actually one of the cheapest ones you can get. Chain mail is one of the most expensive things to produce at this scale, the smaller the rings, the higher the production cost, I know this because I looked into several chain mail options when LIM and Master Team had plans to make a 1/6 scale Geralt. Some of the prices for these are actually insane. The cheapest chain mail looked almost exactly like PureArt's and it's all machine made, which means that if you want it to be smaller you'll need to invest in better equipment or go with handmade chain mail, which is a laborious and expensive process.

What would collectors on here would pick as an extra look if given the choice? I like the default short beard but I'm partial to the clean shave or full beard myself. I also have him completely clean shaven with the trimmed sides and pony tail in B&W.

Long loose hair and clean shaved, the closest look to the book Geralt.

Yeah I've been mentioning the chainmail and leather they are doing also making things look out of scale, just too big and chunky... it makes the figure look like a 1/10 or 1/9th because of it.

Daaamn y’all better continue that project!
About chains yea I agree it’s slightly oversized, but I thought they couldn’t do any smaller bc of the scale. Thanks for the information, super interesting!

I left it in my cart for a while and they sent me a 5% off code that works on the figure. Comes to a $17.45 discount.

That's good, I believe if you sign up as a new customer they also give you one time discount on your first order, 15$ off or something. Unfortunately they don't accept my Narnian credit card so I POed via BBTS. Gonna see final product from every angle before my order ships lol

Decided to cancel with PureArts and get him with SS and BBTS as I have points with them. Got him down to $314 with SS.

PureArts doesn’t charge NRD when you preorder items?

I dont think so? they just do payment plans but you might be locked in unless you contact them to cancel
I just PO in Purearts as the coupon got me to $346 shipped, also hoping buying direct I get it quicker.

You’ll definitely get it quicker, statue was released months ago and BBTS still has it available as a preorder.

Lim and Master Team should continue the project man..
You could make different armor, definitely will buy day one if it's Ursine or Wolven armor..

Wolven armor would be a killer!!!

 

[Klornamafern]

Ursine armor would be a dream come true, I mean, any Witcher armor made by Lim would be a dream honestly, hope you guys will make him in the future...

 

[Josec186]

Agree, I'll buy a Lim Gerald day one, no matter the armor. They can include the accessories missing on this release and complement it, even heads with different expressions and interchangeable hair styles. That's a dream come true
If they decide to make it this armor then I'll skip this release
