Re: GG The Walking Dead Statues

The Daryl Dixon statue is hideous, and so is the price... $450.00

For some reason Daryl is really hard for people to capture. I think a lot of it has to do with his facial hair not being as dark and thick as it ends up like when sculpted and painted.

Overall I like what I see and I figured that Daryl would be priced higher than Michonne & Walker Merle.

Eyes too far apart, nose is wrong, mouth too big and moustache too wide. Take it from a Norman Reedus fangirl...The sculpt is off.

 

[Agent23]

The mcfarlane 10" is a better buy than this IMO.

 

[Punishment1218]

WAAAAY too expensive for this. $450? C'mon man!

 

[Snadinator]

I like that you report GG statues! The new Captain America is up too.

 

[Snadinator]

As for the price, as with the other pieces in this line, it is going for a lot less with online retailers.

 

[averagejo]

Its too bad the likeness (for me anyways) isn't there because if it was, I would have loved a 1/4 scale Daryl statue

 

[Snadinator]

I think it is close enough that he is immediately recognizable. I think the facial hair throws it off the most. It is too thick when Daryl has a thin stubble.

He is $409.99 on BBTS. I bet he will be < $400 somewhere else.

I agree.


wait , your a girl??? I didn't know that

it , your a girl??? I didn't know that

[crows]

the hair is also too short to be with the Poncho, it should be longer in the back a little bit.

This statue is pure fail

 

[banthafett]

Not a big shock this didnt turn out,coming from GG. Oh well money saved.

 

[DinoLast]

It looks a bit like Ricky Gervais

 

[Darth Madden]

The mini bust doesn't look too much better but since its only $80 I'll just keep that and pass on this one.

 

[The Mike]

As off as the solicitation looks, the final product will nodoubtedly be worse off. I don't have much faith in GG lately but who knows.

 

[galactiboy]

I find it hard to believe any company could show something this poor looking and expect to be taken seriously? If this were a $75 QS from NECA it'd be acceptable, but $450 for this is ridiculous

 

[jchu]

Yeah, the price seems a little high. It just doesn't seem like it's worth the $450 maybe around $300 or lower.
