I was a bit down this morning because of the recent forum events, and I was talking with some members in the Shout Box about it. I was pretty much planning on taking a day off from posting to collect my thoughts.
Feeling pretty low, I was about to sign off when my doorbell rang. It was the mailman with a large cardboard box for me with a stenciled outline of Link on it.
This might've been the shot in the arm I needed! I was so happy to recieve this statue that I thought I would share some pictures of it. It's a lot bigger than I expected it to be, about 8" high from bottom of base to tip of sword. The base is about 8" by 5".
I'm really blown away by the detail on it. The Hylian Shield is fantastic, and the Master Sword is breautiful. The fine blue / purple metallic sheen to the hilt is gorgeous. Link's face is meticulously painted and the retain of the map and key on the tree stump is fantastic. (Does anyone know what dungeon that is? I don't immediately regocnize it even though it's very familiar...)
I only have the Samus Aran Metroid Prime staue in this Nintendo series from First 4 Figures, but I'm tempted to pick up the other Zelda ones now. I was excited by the prospect of them making tome TP based statues as previsouly hinted at in their newsletter, and since it's a favourite game of mine, thye will proabbly be a must buy.
Unfortunately, the mailman also had my credit card bill wit hhim, and Link was already charged to it. Oh well! All in all he was $150 shipped. That's an extremely good price for something of this size and quality. I've bought much more expensive statues that are not nearly as nice as this piece is.
So, here's some pics I thought I would share with everyone. Maybe it's not going to be such a bad day after all.
(I hope these images are not too large to include, I didn't see any rules about image posting sizes outside of SB or signatures. If they are too big, please let me know and I will resize them down.)
