Definitely a wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to. Received him at 20.40 or something like that, totally unexpected to arrive today, and yet here he is. Magnificent as in the pictures we've already seen. Everything feels superior to Asmus Crown version, the book, the hands, the clothes, the sword. And of course, the headsculpt is like night and day. Not trying to trash Asmus, just my impression unboxing him and owning both. Only nitpick, one of the fireworks came without the wood stick. Nothing too important, since I never planned to display them, but a bit annoying. Putting the pipe into the staff was a daunting task, I was afraid to break it at any moment, but I managed to put it in place without any breakage. Not brave enough to try to move the eyes, enough for today. Also, had a $10 discount from Kit on my gift card. Yay!
