My thing is I have a wall of MOTU Classics and adjacent/fudgeable figures. I liquidated my Mythic Legions collection some time ago. If I buy this guy he's going to be standing on a shelf with those Classics figures as well as some NECA, Storm Collectibles and others. If he's too small he'll look out of place. That's been my concern. But he looks really good, so I'm wavering and trying to decide whether he's worth putting there even if he's a little smaller.
And so far, despite me asking multiple times in this thread and in multiple facebook groups I still haven't seen anyone who has him in hand stand him next to a MOTU Classics figure so I can know exactly what I'm getting into.
If nobody does it before later tonight, I'll try and snap a pic when I get home from work. I should have at least one MOTUC figure in my (80s display) in my Detolf.
@panthercult I think he works well enough with Classics as a slightly taller guy with less muscle thickness.
Kinda small next to someone like Warduke, but maybe fudgeable in a non-vanilla pose?
Anyone else have this issue? Looks like his left calf was cut short.
Yea, thats the problem with MOTU classics, they are too thick.
My Darkwolf is held up by USPS, no surprise there since i always have an issue with them.
should have been here on saturday, what ever, hopefully USPS will deliver it on monday. USPS should change their name to USIS (US Incompetent Services)
@nightwolf, aren't you in Florida? They seem to be the most problematic state for my eBay packages. Nothing lost, but weird delays. Last year I sent something to Miami, but it ended up in Puerto Rico. Luckily, the buyer was really nice and wanted to wait to see if it would be found. I put in an insurance claim and two days later USPS had it moving again. IIRC, it went to Jacksonville, then PR, then Miami.
@mrboshek thank you SO much for those direct comparison pictures. That is exactly what I needed to see. He IS tall enough to not look terrible next to my classics figures. I didn't need him to be as tall as Warduke really and was more concerned that he would look tiny next to the Classics figures.
These pictures give me the confidence to go ahead and order this figure. I think I'll have him partnered up with the Barry Windsor-Smith Conan figure on my shelf.
And I don't mind the slimmer build compared to He-Man, that works OK for me, and he's thicker than the NECA Warduke - now that guy is skinny.
Off to order a Darkwolf, I guess.
aren't you in Florida?
Yea, unfortunately, it's like a 3rd world country down here LOL
Anywho, just like you said, now they sent my Darkwolf to another USPS outlet which is not my outlet. It's doing a u-turn right now, if i lose the figure, oh well. Dying to move outta Miami.
My Darkwolf sat at "Label Created" for over a month and a half. I finally connected to their chat and after about a week he shipped really fast, and I think he shipped out of Florida so it seems weird it would take that long for someone in state to get their items. Even with the delays I don't think I have any reservations shopping with them directly for future figures. I haven't opened mine yet but I wonder if that calf situation isn't a stylistic thing or something that could be offset by the articulation somewhere. I did not seem to notice any anomalies in any of the reviews I watched.
OK guys; you ready for a USPS rant............So my Darkwolf got delayed for 3 days and finally today with great patience i waited for my figure to arrive and it said "in parcel locker". I got out of work at 6pm then when i checked the mail, the moron post guy leaves the wrong parcel key. mind you, there is 4 parcel lockers! Lucky for me, i didnt let it ruin my day, i did another complaint (i have done 3 before) and ill jsut have to wait another fucking day but guess what, i did order the "Coo" werewolf and it also arrived today, that made me feel better. thanks bbts. If The Purge ever comes true, you know who im going after, the post office. (and my ex-bosses)
Sidenote: i left 2 notes, one on the mail box and one on my gate, gotta talk to USPS like little kids.
Alright.....so after 4 days of the package being lost plus parcel key issues, its here bitchez!
Damn, this figure is superb!!!!!!!!!!! the only Nit pick is the color of the cuffs, should be another color instead of the same skin color. ill modify it later on. what a quality figure from a new toy company, cant wait when they start doing the sexy barbarian chicks. my fav. thing of the figure is his copper-tan skin color. totally makes him out stand on my glorious shelf. Also love his Ax, looks good.
Sidenote: the labels on the lockers are wrong, they have 2P label on the 4P locker. and the other 2 lockers dont have a label, smh. (rant over)
ANybody notice that his Ax is not pointy on the top portion, weird? Gonna sharpen that piece so it can be even/symmetrical.
@nightwolf it's based off of a piece of artwork. The tip is missing on purpose.
Re-painted DW's cuffs in Silver, way better. once it dries ill post a pic.
- Silver cuffs
- Exposed the nipples more lol
- Trimmed the bones alittle
- Made top of Ax pointy(comes with a flat point)
Frezeta girls showed Teegra on IG. its a teaser pic, need to see more of the figure. It comes with a panther, i think.
