Hi Jose

Beautiful Sculpt with nice gimmicks, but the painting would have been even greater.

Cheers

Thank you for your comments Hendryk, yes we know about the painting. We are not professional painters like most are here on PF and right now we can't pay someone to paint them for us.

Cheers,

Jose

Very nice figure. One I'll likely be picking up.
A question though... and I'm no expert and honestly don't know, so I'm asking...
Does the jacket match-up above and below the belt seem off a bit? Maybe just turned? Or is that a norm or illusion?
The back seems to match-up well, above and below the belt. Just wondering?????

Thanks,
Steve

Steve I didn't notice until you pointed it out. If I remember right there is a seam at the belt line. I should have lined the upper and lower body parts along the gig line. good catch.

Dear Mr. Engdahl. The production batch of the figure is correct, David is right he made a slight mistake in linning up the upper and lower body parts but the original production batch going out to customers is correct and in two pieces.

Thanks for bringing it up.
Cheers,

Jose

Hey guys, I'm glad I didn't over-step my boundaries. Like I said I didn't know so I asked. I in no means meant to offend anyone or etc. It's a beauty of a figure and I plan on getting one.
If anything, I'd like to thank you guys for listening and checking it out.

I am sure giving someone a complimentary figure to paint it for you could be an option rather than spending larger sums on professional painters. There are some fantastic painters on here that can produce some great results, just a thought for next time if you post up in market and commissions I am pretty sure you would get some takers. I'm no painting expert but I would consider it if the subject interested me.

Just trying to help you consider alternatives to improve the finished product, but a very nice figure all the same.

Hi Jose, thank you very much for releasing this wonderful figure, 120mm and the era are both my interests so I'm glad.

I'm thinking about getting one but when will it be available and where can I get this?
I checked your website and this figure has not been listed on 120mm section yet.

Thanks in advance,
Kaz

Hello there sir. There is a very slight delay in the web site release, it will be available for sale the first week of May on our web site. It will be released at the AMPS International show in Auburn, IN latter this month. Thank you so much for the compliments, it has been a lot of hard work to make this figure possible. Cheers, and thank you for the support to our many cottage industry producers. Jose
