Asmus Toys: Witch-king figure

[mao86]

Great looking figure but the armor is a weak point at the knees for me. Body feels a bit weak so I'm hoping the new body shipping with the next release will do the trick. I still need to water treat the frabic but overall it looks great.

Wait, so to water treat it, dunk the whole damn figure in water?

put it under a faucet running water

I took the helm off to fix the hood and man what a pain in the a$$ to remove it....

(1) Be careful with the head/helm, it pops off real easy (and the weight of it doesn't help things)

So is it hard to remove or easy to remove?

Maybe in this case you need to fully soak the material because its so thick, but in general a spray bottle will work just fine to "wet" your figure. Just shape, set and air dry.

Water treatment is an awesome trick.

Cool. It just seems weird to me putting the joints and metal into water. I will probably ship mine from BBTS soon.

Removing the entire head (inner support, hood, & helm) is easy - it pops right off. Separating the helm from the support & hood is a pain because it's extremely tight (which I would expect it to be).

Mine arrives today!

After reading this thread I think a water treatment isnt such a bad way to do.

So to be clear, I just run this bad boy under a faucet to wet the clothing... pose and let dry?

I just used a spray bottle on the areas that needed it.

I opened it up and love it! I will definitely wet the clothing if needed. The only thing that throws me off is the hole in the helmet on the right side. Thats not accurate right?

Here's mine. Love it, so happy Asmus picked up this line. The box is nice, metal parts are great and overall presence of the figure is topnotch. Bad things to me IMO: hands are hard to swap, articulated finger hands are fragile, leg and arm armor is cheap.

Soaked the robes for a while and looks better now. This also made the clothing a bit more scuffy looking, but I like that. Now I am trying to figure out what pose he is going to get.

I think the helm is pretty spot-on, and considering the fact that there was a combo of live actor/CGI on screen it would be hard to determine what's actually accurate.

Got mine today, water treated it and change the body to a hot toys body.
Seems better~!

This is an AWESOME shot!

I'm melting, I'm meeeeeeeltiiiiiiiiiiing!!!

 

[jra81984]

Amazing what a difference the water makes. I drenched the clothes and positioned it all where I want it to fall. So much better! I recommend this for anyone. It turns this from a toy into a true 1/6 masterpiece. The only thing I am having issues with is getting the sheath in properly. I feel like I am missing a loop on the belt.

Wow! Hmm, maybe I should put it on a HT body myself. Now I know the armor on the arms and legs, hands, feet and cloth are easily removable. But what about the head and shoulder armor, is it glued on or something?

 

[robbiethepainter]

Only armor glued is the shoulders and its attached to the fabric. So all parts are easily removed.

Great pose Wor-gar
