It looks kind of cool but in person it might be a bit of an ugly overpoweringly large lump of painted bronze plastic for such a relatively big price.

Don't know how many statues have gone the painted bronze look and actually looked decent in person but from my experience it's not many.

DId you cancel? I received it this week and I pretty much can confirm your concern. The statue is cool but not on level of the awesome polystone variety like my Creed collection. It is sort of cheapish floppy vinyl/plastic painted with bronze finish. Cool for my son's room but not $300 worth of cool. The lithos are nice and the steelbook is awesome but the goofy oversize ring thing is also cheapish plastic with hollow flat backside and three small magnets glued into back so it can be chill fridge deco or something. All in all probably feel better if it were $200 or less.

I saw unboxing from a EU Youtuber who apparently got a special limited to 100 version which had bigger statue (18" vs. 12") and the thing actually had an LCD screen with preprogrammed Orc talking to him. Not sure if that is a pres promo/dev gift type of thing or if that statue is high quality.

OH - and the Box is WAY TOO BIG for what's inside. Box graphics are cool but inside is basically massive hunk of Styro.
