Very pleased with this big guy. ;D Really wish they'd release more characters. I am very pleased with mine as well and I am highly disappointed that they aren't making more. It seems as though they release a series of statues that does really well, then they end the line, then release another series of statues, then end the line and keep doing it over and over again. Sometimes you get more and more characters each time but then end it before they can make the line extremely successful. I really wanted Giles, Xander, Cordelia, Darla and Drusilla to go with this line even a Master Statue would have been awesome.

All parts fit very well and there were no paint issues or breakage. I am very pleased with mine as well and I am highly disappointed that they aren't making more.

I also recall they promised busts when this statue line was announced but looks like they've dropped that idea as well.

Mine just arrived. Gargoyle issue here. He hardly fits on the base, and doesnt really lean on it. Can anyone take some closeups of his gargoyle please? I love the facepaint, Ive seen some wich had a very asian touch, where the eyes were closer together. Im really suprised the face looks SO good, since I wasnt really happy with what Ive allready had seen.

Congrats on Angle, but shame about the Gargoyle. Mine sits firmly though his left arm is completely touching the edge while the right hand is a few millimeters off. BTW, is it me or does your gargoyle missing the thorn on his wing where Angle is leaning?

I just ran in panic to check my Statue, gladly its just the angle. Tricky, looks really broken on that picture... Mine do have the same big gap on both sides... :/ I will look at it closer over the weekend, maybe I can fix this by sanding a bit. Anyway, really happy with how he turns out, absolutely love the headsculpt and paintjob. Thanks for those pics lior!

No problem. Glad all the bits on the gargoyle are alright. TBH, I think it looks good on your display and really can't see that the gargoyle isn't sitting well...sure up front but out of focus you can't really tell so don't think you should worry about.
IMO, as long as Angel is good all else are just minor issues.

Hehe, Id read a bit about polystone and figures it seems to be much more brittle then resin is. I was thinking about boiling the gargoyle to bend his arms down, but I think I got used to it and let him as he is. Like you said, Angel looks really good, and its fine as it is. I really think he is the best looking statue out of this line, was even thinking about dropping sideshow some lines.
