I hear you. The Coarse Ezio is twice as big as the Coarse Scorpion and more detailed, but still you're right about the price. Guess I kinda justified it with tax refund.

Furthermore as if that weren't enough, Ubi coerced me today with their "last chance to own em all" email today and I bought the Red lineage 7-print complete collection. There were only a few left so looks like others beside me were on the bandwagon with that.

Don't feel bad, I just bit the bullet with this one...

Yeah, I really want to get that Coarse Ezio, but can't bring myself to spend $300 USD for a vinyl figure with so little detail on it. I know I'll probably be kicking myself 3 years from now when I need that figure to complete my collection and it's going for $1000 on Ebay lol.

Hey JCage,

So I took a good look at my leap of faith Ezio's feet. Turns out that they do go all the way into the base. Here's a pic if you're interested. Here's the weirdest part though. In your pic, the pins attached to your Ezio appear to be brownish? The pins on my Ezio are metallic. So I'm guessing Pure Arts made different runs of the same statue before having enough supply for release? I picked my statue up from EB Games Canada if that helps.

Yours actually looks shorter than mine too (not that it matters so I hear). Thanks for the pic, mine stick out a bit but they are still in there really tight and don't budge and you can't tell from the viewing angle. Oh well, that's quality control for you.

Thinking of something like this Photoshop mockup to display the red lineage set I picked up on that UBI combo deal in a vaulted wall area of the gaming room...




Thoughts? Too much? I want to see/enjoy them regularly but they would take up pretty much that whole area and I only get one room to hang this kind of stuff.

Cheers, JC

Right I know and agree, but unfortunately seven 10x13 prints in matted frames take up a lot of room and the down low space is over occupied with all the equipment and collectible cabinets. I don't know what to do other than keep the beautiful prints stowed away in their very nice sleeves where I will rarely look at them

So curious whether anyone else who has these prints is displaying them in a cool or creative way?

Thanks for feedbacks!

JC
