Hey everybody BAM Collectibles here back for another review for you!
Today we're gonna be taking a look at a PVC recast version of the Zabuza Death Scene statue by HMB.
For those of you that don't know Zabuza is one of my all-time
favorite characters. He was the very reason I got hooked on the show.
Watching him go from a cold-hearted killer to someone who actually regained his
humanity in the end through recognizing his feelings towards Haku and how much
he cared about him all because of our boy Naruto and how influential he is towards others.
One of the reasons I wanted to make this video is because
I've always been kind of curious how a recast version of some of the statues
that I own would look side-by-side. I also thought it would be a fantastic way
to give back to you everybody who continued to support the channel it's
been incredible these past few weeks let's keep on going forward.
Here's a straight shot overview of how everything is inside the package.
Upon taking everything out I was actually amazed by the quality! All throughout the showcase
I will bring in the recasted version first and then the authentic version to
show side-by-side so we can see how they par against each other. As you can see
here the recast base is hollow doesn't have much weight to it while the HMB
version has some weight to it. As we get a little bit closer you will see the devil
is in the details for these pieces. There's a lot more shading coloring and
effects all throughout the base of the HMB while if you can see over here it's
quite flat overall it's mainly one tone one color.
Probably one of my most favorite weapons in the Naruto series the Executioner's Blade.
This is very well done with some thicker plastic I like the shading all thought the blade.
It gives it kind of a sharp look and effect to it.
Holding it against the authentic you can see the shading is a little bit more perfected and there's
Some other colors that it draws out as well as some blood on the top of the Executioner's Blade.
I will mention if you want to take a closer look at the authentic version be
sure to click the link above so you can visit that now or after this video.
This is why I will openly say I am absolutely impressed at the turnout at
how this statue turned out as far as the actual character sculpt.
The splatters of blood and all the blood coming out of his body from the swords that will later
be inserted inside are all actually on point with the normal version.
One thing to mention is on his neck here you'll see a
line that's created from the mold when pouring the plastic it's kind of an
inevitable thing that happens when you're recasting statues.
of a wobble to them honestly that's what you get with recast. There are clear quality definers
between these two and that's what I'm here to do is just point out
what those are and you have to think about the value when you're purchasing
statues if you want to go with maybe kind of a more authentic version of the
statue or if you're willing to go ahead and go with the recast.
The left authentic crate definitely has a lot more details than the other.
