Looks great, but what the hell is up with the horses teeth??

Chris

nothing...nice white teeth clean red gums...I bet not one cavity...those Mordor Vets sure know there business... Seriously...If youve ridden or been with horses...pull on the reigns and see what they they are capable of doing with their lips and showing off there teeth......looks good to me

I think he means the definition on the paint apps. It does look a little strange although I'm not overly concerned with it myself.

My only minor niggle is the seam on the hood. Everything else looks really good.

Alternate display, Regular Edition pose:



If the seam bothered you too much, the riding cloak hood can be pulled up to look like this. Not how SS displayed the piece, but gives a more tattered hood look:



Shots of nails through the hooves, as requested:





Head armature support



Packaging

I think that tells you how good a piece is at least in the initial pics when people are looking at the teeth that closely.

I think I prefer the hand although I am getting the EX.

Does the head pin move or is it static???

Thanks for the pics ODB. Legend.

That's exactly what I meant. His teeth seem to be all one piece, they aren't even separated. Actually looks more like a mouth guard a football player would wear.

Rest of the statue seems great though. Mine should be here next week, so I'll check it closer then.

Rest of the statue seems great through. Mine should be here next week, so I'll check it closer then.

He's an evil horse...God knows where and how they were raised or what they ate?...what do you want Shadowfax teeth?

Looks outstanding. I may get this one day, and I think the reg pose is better, so I'm sure I will have awhile to decide on it.

The best compliment I can pay it is that I can't see any difference between this and the one at Comic Con. Paint app looks fantastic in person. Horse is a nice dark color with lots of texture, muscles, veins, battle damage, etc. They really hit it out of the park.

I think part of what is causing that is there is a layer of gloss finish over everything in the mouth. The teeth are painted to appear like individual pieces, but I think the sculpt is unbroken.

I still need to give it a good, close inspection but overall the first impression is very positive.

Thank ya sir! Fantastic job on the photos again.

Good stuff. I guess you could just move the cloth slightly if you wanted a different display option.

Fantastic detailed photos. Thanks so much for taking the time to post these.
This thing is beautiful!

Hope that tail makes it here in one piece.

Thanks for sharing the pics, but not sure about the statue. Might consider changing my nrd to something else like sauron PF.

Nice pics! The thing I'm concerned about is how it holds itself in the base. Does it look like it's something that could lean and break over time ?

That is an awesome statue, very well done Sideshow. I wanted to wait until my last payment kicks in on May 15, but after seeing the pics, just replied to the email and authorized the early charge.
Surely this piece will join Lurtz and U-H in the highly desired statue list.

Yeah, I bumped mine up too. It was due in 10 days but why wait!

I think it would have joined the others if the regular was Limited. As of now It'll probably be around for a while. Still glad I got the EX though. It at least keeps it somewhat exclusive, especially with a fairly low number.

Forgot to post but I have replied to the early shipping email and the Dark Rider is now making his way down under!!

So far it's either this or the Wolf maq for statue of the year.
