The things I find.

Very cool stuff! Is there anything in the Dead Space metal tin?

Oh, sounds like maybe you missed out on the Dev Team Edition.

yes I have been gone for a number of months. Trying to stay away from this place until I have real money to spend here lol. I put a hole in my credit card xD And I love the skyrim statue (all of your stuff too)!

Another quick update; this time with the Portal 2 Turret Exclusive statue by Gaming Heads. I ordered this bad boy a long time ago, and after paying it off not too long ago, it arrived earlier today.

Quick impressions: It's absolutely beautiful. Being that it's made of polystone, the overall quality of the piece is really nice. Lots of fine detail and the paint is really nice too--especially the glossy white paint.

The glossy base is super nice. I thought I'd hate the glossy, mirror-like finish on the base, but I don't have it at all. It looks great.

On the downside, this thing is just too damn fragile. I can easily see myself breaking this thing at some point. The legs appear to be especially fragile. The statue only very gingerly fits in to place on it's base. It doesn't feel secure enough on the base to me.

I can see it tipping over at some point. Like if I were to turn the bass up on my surround sound system, for instance, I can see the statue tipping over from the thuds of the bass.

The white side panels only slide in to place with magnets. I can see those panels falling off at some point too.

The glossy base-though super nice-will surely be a scratch-magnet. In fact, it came with plenty of fine scratches on it already.

My statue also isn't perfectly straight. It has a slight lean or tilt; so it just looks slightly off or slightly crooked, if you get my meaning.

The light is OK, but it could be a tad bit brighter

Lastly, the sound. There's really no other way to put it: It sucks. It's really low and heavily muffled. It's just terrible. Really disappointed with that.

Plenty of stuffed toys out there have crystal clear sound features; I don't know why this expensive collectible couldn't do at least as good.

Other than that though, it's really nice. None of my complaints would stop me from buying this again. Well, I probably wouldn't buy the exclusive, since it's so bad; but the regular version would be a buy for sure.

The overall look of the piece is too nice to pass up.

looks awesome

[MortalMonday]

Awesome indeed!

I forgot to mention that my ICO helmet (the one with the horns) has gone to a better place.

It was so brittle (just from being so old and made of thin plastic), that one of the horns broke off. It's possible that the previous owner didn't take care of the helmet well enough, and that's what caused the horns to be so brittle;but I can't say for sure. The ICO sticker on the front of the helmet had fallen off and I was gonna place it back on. When I grabbed the helmet, the horn snapped right off.

I can't bring myself to throw it away. ICO stuff is so hard to come by.

Man, always jealous when it comes to Portal stuff Its awesome, congrast man

I've never posted here before but must say I've been admiring your collection for quite a while now. So many rare and sought after things. Very nice!

My portal turret arrived yesterday but I haven't had the chance to open it yet. I'm not thrilled about the idea of it being easily scratched or not wanting to stand up straight. I may have to keep it in the box for a while until I can figure out where I want to display it. Not to mention the amount of shelf space this thing looks like its going to require. That also sucks about the sound being of poor quality. I always have high hopes for anything with lights and sound.

As a Portal fanatic, you know how much I hate you because of that turret. Well done.
