They're using the official Konami logo on the site and pics as well as the disclaimer that it's subject to approval, so it appears to be licensed. My question is if it will be worldwide or if we'll have issues getting this in certain countries like HMO's pieces.
Great pics. I was an initial hater of the suit but the more I see of it the more I like it. Execution seems incredible at the very least. May pick it up if it's ever discounted down the line. The ex has got to be one of the most ridiculous and nonsensical SS has ever done though.
Yep, I've always displayed this with the web hand but never the squint head. Not only is it non-essential, he's squinting with the wrong eye for aiming down his arm the way he is. That said though I don't think you could go wrong with this piece even if it's your only 1/4th and you're even a...
Yep, the artbooks are fantastic and if you can get it at the lower price, the set is just insane value for money for an artbook. It's also absurdly heavy.
If P1 offered a fabric cape version of this like some of their other offerings I'd be all over this. As it stands that cape is just way too much and I could definitely see it causing some issues over time.
Personally I really like the shoulders covered by the cape. He's shown that way all the time in the comics. My only issue with it is that it masks the anatomy under the cape and makes it look a little weird because we can't see exactly where his shoulders are positioned.
It's especially baffling when you look at the reactions to the various pieces they're putting out. Wonder Woman: 100% comic accurate, everyone adores it. Wolverine: extremely comic accurate, people are lining up to smash the pre-order button. Cap and Deathstroke? Nope. Magneto's outcry was so...
To be honest I really don't think this looks THAT much more impressive than the Hasbro one, for my money. I think even getting the Hasbro professionally repainted might be a better value.
Not even close. No dog collar, shoulder armor, leg stripes, elbow pads, chest V, black bar on chest, ridiculous belt buckle, etc. I wouldn't even mind a version of this costume for a PF because it actually comes from the comics.
