Thanks for the link! Picked one up as well. I hope it can get shipped before the Chinese New Year delays... :panic:

Thx, I also picked up a 2nd :yess:

A THOUSAND THANKS! Been looking for it for ages but gave up a while ago, 180 is a great price. Just bought one. :yess:

The only thing I'm not impressed with is the headsculpt.. Will have to look for a custom one. Hopefully iminime can improve their prototype.

Glad you all were able to get one. I don't see these being available for much longer. I just got my tracking information from the ebay seller, hoping to have it in about 2 weeks.:yess: I actually really like this headsculpt and I have to say much more than Iminimes as I doubt Iminime change anything on their current offering. The Kings Toys U-boat sculpt is very good, but I will be keeping him stock.

Those facebook photos look great. :goodpost::clap
 
I found a pre-order for this guy a short while back, and just got the shipping notice. Such a cool looking figure. But. . .

I will respectfully disagree with folks who think this is better than Iminime's attempt. Neither is a home run, but I don't see much Crowe here at all. Apart from the nose, I get more of a Ben Roethlesberger vibe.

I agree. Love the figure and the sculpt looks decent but the only thing selling that this Crowe is the costume and hair cut. Without them I wouldn't recognize who it is.
 
Unless they redo the iminime sculpt, its off. I still prefer the King's Toys uboat sculpt. The best is still the old HT, but it needs a repaint.

So does the king's toys. The Iminime sculpt paint aps are fantastic
 
The original HT is its a pretty soft sculpt from what I remember. I just hope the helmet fits the Iminime head. If not Ill pass and run with this one.
 
I think we can agree that there is not a perfect Russell Crowe sculpt as Gladiator or Roman General. I personally prefer the u-boat captain and am happy with the ACI for a nice representation. I love Iminime's work, but feel his sculpt is too rounded and plump looking. But that's just my opinion.

Iminime sculpt

Anyway, I love this character and movie and hope this is a future release.

"Are you not entertained?"
 
Yeah, maybe Crowe is another one of those guys that just have a difficult likeness to capture. Also, there's no guarantee the helmet will fit on the Iminime head.
 
I'm really glad this figure turned out great. I've wanted to have Maximus represented in my collection for a long time.

I think as long as this figure sells out or atleast does well (which it most likely will), the gladiator version of Maximus will be inevitable.
 
And this does? :cuckoo:

I also noticed that compared to the pre-production sample, the production sculpt looks "longer", maybe to fit in the helmet???
