Sideshow/Adam Hughes Lara Croft Comiquette

[Mastter]

She is awesome.

The art print.

Dang, not many picked this up, is it still sold out at the SSC website.

Anyways that's a good deal because I plan to pick this up whenever other stuff cools down.

Congrats Mastter!

I still don't have a place for her - due to the massive foot print of the base (too big for my shelves).

The only spot I got that she'll fit is where Kaneda & his bike are sitting - no ____ing way is that going back in the box.... So maybe Lara will have to 'till I work something out. Pity, such a nice sculpt.

Thanks Deadleaves, and you are right, the base it's massive.

Does anyone know of a safe/easy way to cut/trim the peg that she sits on?

The statue itself is perfect, but when I sit her down there is about a 1/8" gap between her butt and the case.

 

[Skiman]

You could do a low setting dremel with a metal sand head.

 

[Firebird]

I just noticed that on mine too. I wouldn't say mine is a 1/8", but maybe 1/16" off the case. The legs sit on the case with no gap.

what's up with AH and his disappointing print sizes? He should just throw a post card in the exclusive box already.

 

[Skiman]

Wrap a towel around the rest of the bottom of the base as well, you don't want the dremel to slide and nick the base.

I've got a slight gap on mine - about 1 1/2 mm... The problem isn't the peg, her toes are firmly placed on the case that's part of the base. So that's as far as she'll go.

Are her toes still up in the air too? If so it's the peg/hole. I think what Ski said is the best option - dremel the peg on her leg.

I just have some pics of her.

 

[DeadLeaves]

Great pics!

Anyone tried weathering the map? It's the only thing I don't like about the statue.

I might take some scans & print it out on some thicker paper, mess it up a bit.

Been playing the game all weekend (for the first time) and close to beating it. It is AWESOME!! The storyline could be more involved, but the puzzles and action are amazing. I want the statue now EVEN MORE than I did before. I just wish that the EX would have included Thor's Hammer as the EX item (along with the print).

 

[Senketsu]

Ordered mine yesterday; can't wait.

 

[Starkiller]

I hope they make a bikini or wetsuit lara with harpoon gun.

My piece arrived this morning! Really nice statue. The aforementioned minor map/leg peg issues some have talked about are present on mine, too but, hey, it's still a killer piece overall. I'm really pleased with it.

(As a side note, any potential UK buyers should go to Play.com. They're selling the Lara comiquette for £199.99; a good £80-£90 less than I've seen elsewhere in this country).

 

[DeadLeaves]

Congrats!

It really is a nice statue. I'm still trying some stuff with the map, with photocopied versions. But I'm finding it difficult to get the double sided image right...

I think I'll leave the back white & dip the whole thing in a wash solution & add folds/ragged edges. Hopefully I'll get to it on my time off.

She is so beautiful. I cannot believe I won this. I am very excited to open her on Christmas!

Congrats BG, I have all the AH ladies and I need to get this to complete the collection, I'll have to play catch up.

I just recently got into sideshow collecting after comicon. But I had this piece pre-ordered even before that. Great statue!
