U got pics? I'm waiting to pull the trigger

Sorry, I inspected him an packed him back up. I only took a close up of his face, but he's spot on to the production photos.

 

[spiderjew69]

No problem man... I ordered he should be here soon

 

[INFECDEAD]

Mine arrived - my bad photos make this look way better than it is in person. My stuff is in storage sorry...
The sculpt is nice and the fabric is nicely done but it is a dust magnet. The nameplate is also removeable and is held on with magnets and I couldn't get the Iron Cross on properly so I gave up since he was going straight back in the box.
Unfortunately and as usual the paints look plastic and flat, mine also has a woeful lazy eye - I mean what the **** - it's probably Sideshow's most common complaint on busts and they still do it. They way the bust is posed it isn't too obvious from some angles but as you can see in the picture its well and truly ****. The eyes are lifeless, they have no gloss and are dull. So are the teeth, which are a let down after how well the Green Goblin bust turned out. The teeth and the gums are so dry, flat and washed out looking and should of been glossed. There is just no definition in the paint between where the gums and teeth join.
Sideshow needs to realise that these life size busts need the attention to details done properly. For me there is nothing worse than getting up close to something that is life size and realising how un-lifelike the critical things like eyes and teeth are. This cost $600 plus $120 shiping for me and it's simply not a quality enough piece for the price. I am done with the line until Sideshow gets their **** together.

Ah I see, didn't read the whole thing earlier just looked at the pics. That's too bad man cause the sculpt itself looks great. The lazy eye isn't noticeable at all besides that 1 pic.

The lazy eye is a full cm out I would say. I am really let down by this one, and I was looking forward to it which doesn't happen so much with SS stuff anymore. I hope if you pull the trigger you get a good one.

This is a comic version so I'm not upset about it not looking very realistic. As for the cross... There is a very small piece of thread on the jacket itself. I thought it hooked on the collar also an spent about 5 minutes before I found it.

After getting both the Thor and cap lsb I'm hooked.... I need the red skull also. But with the lsb being so big I feel like they should be flawless... the lazy eye is concerning. But the photos look good. The only beef I out with cap is he looks super tanned.

now that I have cap, I might get this

I have this on flex, and am pretty sure I'm gonna keep my order still. Sure wish I could see one in person to know %100 if i still want to shell out the big bucks for this. there are just so many other awesome pieces being released right now.

I hope this isn't a crazy request, but could someone please measure the circumference of the Red Skull's head. I have a few flex pays remaining but want to buy a German officer's cap for the bust and need to know the fit.
Thanks in advance!

Thinking of getting this hat for mine. I still have to measure it.

Excuse the crappy phone pic. It's all I got.

A new area I am working on.
