Anubis Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 (edited) All I can say is...wow. This statue is awesome, and for me is well worth the 90 bucks it cost. Especially for being painted so good, it could have commanded more. The color and detail are excellent, the sculpt is dead on perfect IMO, and it comes with a little cross necklace to put around her neck. This is EXACTLY the kind of Misato statue I have wanted for a long time. It's gorgeous. I love it. I wouldn't mind a Plug Suit Rei and Asuka from these guys to go with it. I'm tempted to pick up the pre-painted Lacus they have available, but she's over a hundred, so she's out of budget for the next few months before I can consider her. Misato feels solid, and given her pose she is quite stablily balanced. I have not glued her to the base at this time. Don't know if I'm going to either. At first I thought the white base looked odd when I pulled it out of the box, but it works with this statue. Recommended. I know I'll order from Hobby Fan again as well. Before the Misato pics, I do have to show the surprising packaging on this thing. Very well done. Almost excessive.

There are some kits from hobby fan that you can order pre-painted. A lot of them are hentai statues, but there are also a lot of regular ones too. link Some other garage kits have an option for them to assemble and paint it for you. They seem to do quite good work over there. Very reasonable pricing too for resin kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted May 22, 2004 Author Share Posted May 22, 2004 I'm tempted to buy this Lacus statue too some time in the summer if they don't run out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfx Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Sigh....that looks so good. But sadly I don't feel like parting with that much money for an inarticulate statue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechamaniac Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 That Lacus (BTW, I thought it was supposed to be LUX, as in the Latin word for Light) but I might be wrong. Anyway, that fig would be really cool if they could find a way to have all the HARO's hovering around her like they always were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fansubs dubbed it as Lux before the official spellings came out , which was Lacus. Gundam Seed has very weird romanised names like, Ssigh, Athrun (Asuran/Asulan) , Cagali (Kagari) etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beware of Blast Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 One more for you ecchi folk. Not an Evangelion fan, nothing to add as well but to annouce to the world this - Anubis, you rock! You might also wanna learn to focus. That pic looked as though either you're shinning a powahful followspot on her, or she is glowing on her own.

You might also wanna learn to focus. That pic looked as though either you're shinning a powahful followspot on her, or she is glowing on her own. Blame the flash. If I don't do the flash the glare goes, but the image is too dark and fuzzy, that the flash looks better. I need a camera with a real zoom. Next tie I'll try it with the digital zoom (all my camera has ) and see how it works that way. It's the close range flash that gets in the way.

UN Spacy Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I think this resin looks pretty bad ass.....it'd be perfect if they ONLY got Motoko's proportion's correct. Anubis - Is there a limit to which statues come prepainted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anubis - Is there a limit to which statues come prepainted? Yeah, there's a pre-painted section on the Hobby Fan site, and then some other model kits have an option to have them complete it for you for 50-60 bucks or so in the item's page. There's no list of those though to my knowledge. Just some kits have that option. Also, I really dislike those MM kits. All of them. They don't look...right. Too excessive. I have seen some good GitS kits in the past though. Edited May 24, 2004 by Anubis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
