Mine are showing a delivery date of tomorrow cant wait.

Stan did you get a numbered set or an artist proof ? After so many incarnations of your characters over the years I would have to imagine it would give you a great amount of satisfaction and pride to see them captured so expertly.

Mine arrived Friday, it has been a long day and I have only pulled out the Jotaro statue so far. The rest will come out later this weekend since it will be another long day at work saturday.....

They look great from what I have seen so far.

Hmm, wha...

Man, I almost forgot; just paid for my exclusive set.
Guess I'll have to wait a bit for it to arrive here in good old Germany....

But it'll be worth it; let's see what customs'll do with it...

my best friend made that for me. he bought the rabbit and sewed the costume (also added stitches for the scar) as a present.

i'll get some better photos and post them in the fan art section.

Mine arrived today in perfect condition! They exceeded my expectations, they look even better in person. I'm really pleased with the attention to detail.

Statues I have collected in the past have often disappointed me in the paint department. The casting itself might be great but often the paint is sloppy or overlapping. The paint jobs are perfect. Absolutely delighted with these.

Roel, congratulations on a great job from start to finish. From conception to production, quality control and distribution. I'm sure it was a Herculean project but definitely worth it. Thanks to all involved.

All my statues were # 40 with the exception of young Usagi 77/ 350 .

My set is #55 for everything except the bonus figure (have to look at that one when I get home).

Can't wait to see who all will be included in set 2!

Hopefully, the wait won't be toooo long. :lol:

Now, we've waited years and years for a decent set of figures and now there is an excellent set (still have to receive mine)! So I guess I for one will be patient, knowing that the second set will be at least as good... :wink:

+1, if you take all 5
