The base is made of polystone, definitely weighty and not plastic as it felt cold as well.

My base number plaque is 1999/2000
I had a quick look at Anjelaoni's a couple of days ago (mine is at my mums) and the base is definitely polystone. I think the statue is too, but it definitely has plastic pieces (such as the parts of the clothing, etc). Definitely looks great though, IMO xx

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.
