I agree that one was good and a good value overall (it was $600 for 1/4 scale right?), as I said their CE statues are what i avoid (but I hope they get better as they are a pillar of the CE statue makers now... I think they stretched themselves WAY too thin and their work has suffered for it, at least I hope this is the reason). Also it is pretty hard to do poorly on 1/4 or bigger scales (small details are far easier).

I still do not like some things about that Death statue personally that I feel kept the price down but I will not get specific as I do not want to be offensive But again for the price that was a really great statue (if I had the spare money I would own that one too).

I know that feeling

Original price was $600 for 1/3 scale (30 inches tall).

As much as I think Project Triforce is a shit company for how much they've screwed me (and many others) over with preorders, their last few mass produced CE statues have been pretty good. The Battlefield 1, ReCore, and Mirror's Edge Catalyst statues I thought were well done.

But there have also been some I thought were less than good. The Thunderjaw is the most recent example of a very mediocre statue. The DOOM one just felt super cheap and flimsy (but was also only $99 before the Amazon 20% off at launch).

Yeah 1/3 is what I meant... great deal for that for sure. Still anything over $300 is far out of my personal price range

I guess they didn't get enough pre-orders for the previous one and cancelled production? I like this one a lot better because of the base. The previous one had a really weird looking base. Not a big fan of Aguilar's pose though. Looks way too similar to the Ezio statues.

Just thought of this. I know Pure Arts does greet statues and even some resin ones when not in CEs... but if they make that expensive statue out of plastic I am going to be so mad for the people who bought one!! That price that statue better be polystone or hard resin!

Can anyone confirm from their reading that this will not be plastic. I am sure it will not be, especially if it says "premium". I would be shocked and very disappointed if it is.

It should be, the others will all be plastic but again Pure Arts always does really good CE statues (not the best, but the best are few an far between... Pure Arts is just really good, well you could say they are the best at making the cheap plastic statues look really good ).
