Nice pics, mate.
OMG, i'm sooo glad i kept my ord..oh wait...FU BAGELS!
#281 just arrived in perfect condition. What an awesome piece! I had no idea who this character was when I pre-ordered on August 1st of last year but, when I opened the box and inspected the statue, I have to say it is one of the best I have ever seen. The detail is unbelievable in person and is more than worth every penny and the wait. Anyone who has this piece, or the regular for that matter, will be appreciating it for a long time.

What do you think Mesa?
Edit: I was texting below response while isildur was posting pics and I hadn't scene his post until later. Looks like we are mostly in agreement.

Okay, couldn't wait till this weekend. This guy is Bad Ass. I don't know the character either, but when I saw at sdcc I liked it a lot so got it anyway. The piece is heavy, something like 27 lbs. The base is at least half of the weight. I wouldn't feel comfortable putting this on a quarter inch glass shelf. The base has a detachable piece for diablo's broken off left horn secured by a magnet. I wish the diablo's skull had a little more color variation/detail, it is a little flat as someone mentioned already, but that's my only complaint.
The barbarian is awesome. So much detail. Both hands are removable and I think they had light/medium strength magnets to secure them. The paint work/ detail on axe handle to make it look wooden is very good. The silver paint with the bloodsplatter looks frickin really good. No slop, good fading and transparency, looks like this guy just killed a demon. The swords on his back are also a separate piece, the strap is flexible and I moved it so you could see the ratios, which are sculpted and inset on his skin. I do wish the muscle tone had a little more shadowing but that's just a nit pick. His tunic or kelt looks fragile, so his body should be handled catefully when removing him and placing him on table. Ther is so much other detail on his weaponry and shields and clothing that I'm not covering.
I like the unhelmeted head the best and it's how he is displayed now. The helmet head is also good, but the eyes do stand out in the helm and much more detail in the head without the helm
I know term is thrown around loosely, but this may become a Grail. So much detail, like "Doom" has detail. Maybe not because not as popular of a character, but this may be my third favorite statue after doom and IM CMQ.
