Thanks V, I regress that part of my statement, after a few searches on information about polystone and some familiar statues (to me), I realise the statue itself is predominantly made of polystone.

The cape appears to be plastic, although, in comparison to other premium priced statues, I found the detailing a little less than what I presumed them to be.

For a dead Knight in non-shining armour, I still expected a shiny paint job on it instead of something more dull and washed out. For that price (US$400 Lord of Cinder statue only), I would be comparing it to Sideshow's Nathan Drake Premium Edition or Michael Archangel (Heroes VI) with the level of detail and paint job.

I'm afraid I couldn't pass Cinder on top of either of those statue in terms of overall package. I even found the Lords of the Fallen CE bust far more detailed and craftily painted than Cinder. Of course, this is all in my personal view and opinion. I mean, for the price they put up in Australia (AU$799) ain't cheap! It should have been price that high, in comparison to the DS3 CE, apart from Cinder, only the A4 size Artbook would be the most significant difference. 799 vs 229. That statue essentially cost (the very few Aussies with Prestige) over $500AU.

Overall, I'm content because I didn't have to pay the full price in the end.

That is what i wrote before. The statue is not polystone, more like polyresin maybe.
Too expensive for it's quality.

i knew it would come back to this XD... i'm out... looking at my amazing yhorm statue

That's really too bad.

I agree with Matrix6, that at Sideshow statue prices, I would've expected Sideshow quality, at the very least.

Seems like this still falls under the 'video game collector's edition' quality, although at the high-end.

Definitely not worth it, in my opinion.

Doesn't mean I'm not going to try and buy it one day though...

Archangel Michael statue that Pure Arts made for Ubisoft and sold through Sideshow was made from Polyresin. But it was 349$ and not 399$.

well we can argue in any way we want... ist the Price its been sold for and it was sold out in minutes... Demand determines the Price... and if you look at the Prices now its still worth it

there always will be supporters and opponents...

@brandon: i love your comment its not worth it in your opinion but it is possible that you're gonna buy it one day XD

what i agree with you guys is that the production costs of the statue is in no Proportion with the selling Price but thats how it works and the People are buying it...

so either you wanna have it (or lets say make a fast buck) or you don't...

its made of polistone (even if some parts ar plastic) not more and not less...

Ha, I can't help it. I love Dark Souls and this statue, just hate the price. I think it's just because I actually have a few Sideshow statues, so I have something to compare it to near that price point, and they're far and away much better quality.

I'm a patient guy, I can wait until I find this DS statue for cheaper, or when I have disposable income.

I meant the size of the box.

[Brandon Storm]

Oh. Of course.

Although if I was a mailman, I would love it if people opened their goodies in front of me. I imagine the curiosity can be deadly.
