Flatout, where did you get your frame? Interested for a few vinyl pieces I have.

Yeah I figured.

I got mine here: http://amzn.to/1kaNdbL

That links to the vinyl. Did it come framed?

Sorry about that, I copied the link I made for my video but I mixed them up there.

Here is the right link for the frame I got: http://amzn.to/1kaNdbL

Just a small update (all are small now as I only post the items I plan to really truly keep in my collection for a long while... so mosty Darksiders stuff with some odds and ends of other games too).

Darksiders II Comic Con/Launch Party Poster Signed by Joe Mad

(Sadly the seller of this shipped this in a tube that was much longer then the poster and he also pit a Death pin in there... you can see where this is going. It got damaged and the seller even blamed me saying "it looks like it is damage from taking it out of the tube" even though in the pics i sent both ends are mashed and in one pic I set the pin next to the rolled up dented end and you can see how the pin fit right in the dent.

)

Darksiders War & Ruin Statue

(Finally got one of these... though I was never really looking as I never liked this statue (still do not). I like it a bit more now that i have it to look at but not becasue it is better then I though but becasue it is War and I can forgive the statue being utter crap for that. Really it is bad... I could start telling you all the bad things but it would take forever. Just know I only got this becasue it was damaged and easily fixable and I got it at $100 less then what it retailed for.)

Destiny: The Taken King Red Bull Press/Prize Kit

(Thanks xhunter for showing me this!!)

My Darksiders Statues

I love that Destiny/Red Bull kit. I don't know why I think it is so cool, but it is such a neat piece for a Destiny collection.

It really is a really nice kit. Going to post it as my next unboxing so we will see if people agree

I haven't really researched this so I don't know why you don't like it but it doesn't look bad from your pics. The only glaring thing I can see is the USB that sticks out like a sore thumb at the bottom. Of course, this makes me wonder about what kind of material they made this out of, probably PVC, semi-polystone?

Great update, BTW. You still need to get the 1:1 Death Scythe (Soul Reaper), lol.

Thanks. Na I always knew I would pass on Project Triforces's HUGE statue and scythe replica. Too much for me and especially the scythe it would be almost impossible to display and keep safe.

Here are the main issues. The detail is crap, the paint is also crap, you can see the whole section of where the horse head was glued on and it does not even come close to blending. The orange paint on the base looks like it was just drizzled and splattered on and looks awful (plus I think anytime they try to make a "glowing" effect with orange paint it looks just awful). Another small thing is Ruin's right rear leg seems misshapen to me (though this may just be a personal thing as my family has Clydesdale horses and it just looks wrong... or how the in game model looked when in the position).

There is more but you get the idea. I can take pics of these things if you want so you can really see what i mean. For example the last one they made (Samael) was really good (even the Death SOTA one looks a good leap better then this... actually the recent cheap Death one from Gaya has better detail)... but this War & Ruin was their first attempt and it looks like it.

It is made of a plastic type resin (think AC statues), different hardnesses too (for the cape and chains it is all softer to avoid breaking but both the ones i own were bought broken in those ares anyways).

I tried searching for a video of the statue and either couldn't find it or you haven't made one yet. If so, maybe make a video?
