Hey everybody BAM Collectibles here back for another statue unboxing review for you!
It is my absolute pleasure to showcase
to you for the first time on this channel a Figurama statue.
Today's statue would not be possible if it wasn't for a good friend of the channel
Martin Meeks who sent me this statue, Thank you SOOO much!
I normally hold up the base flip
it around and show it to you but not today it's way too heavy because it's
all one giant piece so i have it on my electronic rotating table.
We can see all along the base tons of
debris and dust because of the clash that's going on in
this moment and scene captured on the statue.
The bottom round part of the base looks extremely elegant with the brass and
silver type of paint job and then all along here we will see some
of the Hunter X Hunter symbols that are used in the alphabet in the world.
I have to say that today is checking a box off of my bucket list as a collector
because I've always wanted to see the quality and workmanship
of a Figurama piece in person and man does it not disappoint.
On the back of the statue is a very nice easter egg because it showcases a Gungi
board which has a very deep meaning it would
take way too long to explain in a short amount of time.
Spinning the statue over here on the left you can see all the different
textures and paint applications that bring that dust and cloud effect to life.
Here is the pillar that is being crumbled from all the action going on
in this moment and scene. This part will be attached to the base as well as the
steel rod will help it to connect. Just like a human body this is going to
be the backbone of the statue that multiple different pieces will be
connecting to to bring this diorama to life.
I'm just super impressed by all the intentionality that's gone
through the paintwork even in something as simple as the rubble of a column.
There was a lot of different layers of paint that went on there that made this look so realistic.
The golden piece you'll see here is the beginning of the formation of the 100-Type
Guanyin Bodhisattva that's going to be seen in the statue.
The large notch on the back and steel rod is what's going to help it connect
itself to that large column. I want to take a moment to appreciate
all the different battle damage that was intentionally sculpted onto the
statue from all the different action going on and the blows being exchanged.
The holes that you'll see here all three
of them is where some of the hands will later be connected to this part.
I will say how everything's coming together in this statue
it feels so safe and secure not all statues come together this nicely.
Here comes the man himself Isaac Netero. Upon first removing this
from the package I had to take a moment to pick my jaw up off the floor.
Primarily what blew my mind
is the paint application on the skin if you look closely here there's all
sorts of aging and veins and how the muscles are being
sculpted all throughout this it is just incredible to see!
I almost want to shut up so you can appreciate it but I really can't keep my mouth shut
because how gorgeous it is! The notch and large
The magnet on the back is how he will attach to the piece that we just reviewed.
The complete body does come in four different pieces so we have
both hands that were sculpted separately as well as the main body
and then the head is removable.
Removing this arm i'll let you take a look and see how the shirt was painted.
you'll see of course it's extremely dirty because
of all the rubble that's flying around and then again let's take a look at the
coloration of the skin it just looks amazing!
The statue did come with two different head sculpts. I want to go ahead and show you those up close.
Other than the amazing paint job that we've seen on the skin already
I want to point out that I don't know how they did it but if you look all
throughout the head you will see different beads of sweat
that are painted on there and of course it's easily seen because it's quite a
bald guy other than what he's got going on on top
with his hair it's just incredible how it shimmers and shines
because of how much action he was going on it makes perfect sense that he'd be
perspirating during this time. In the second head sculpt we will see
that Netero's eyes are closed so he's most likely praying.
Here's a section where you can really see those beads of sweat dripping down.
Like I said before there's a large magnet attached to the backside of him
so he really does stay on there strong. Speaking of strong here is one of four
hands that will be included showcasing the 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva.
On that end we just saw is where the
hands will attach and on the other side is the joint with the steel rod coming
outside and the paint job on this is just awesome to see
the mixture of the gold and silver really just make it pop and stand out.
Like I mentioned before the intentional sculpting is seen all throughout this as
well where it does not look smooth and perfect, it does look like it has seen some battle.
Every hand is sculpted in that palm strike type of stance
and the coloration on it is very different from the arm in that it's just
pure gold rather than a mixture of silver and gold.
One of the things that i will praise Figurama for over and over again
is they know how to create a statue that if you were to walk into a room and see it
it absolutely commands a presence and
all of these palms or hands sculpted onto the statue help in making that possible.
This one here is almost a carbon copy of my hand side by side.
I've seen many statue companies that use magnets but the size of these are just
huge compared to the ones I've seen before.
With all three attached you can begin to
see how dynamic this statue is at bringing this battle to life.
Here we have the head sculpt for Meruem or King.
Looking at his head straight on it almost looks like he is rolling his eyes
but that is not the case once we install everything onto the
statue you'll see it fits perfectly for his stance and position.
His body is going to come together in three different parts just his head, main body and tail.
For being an ant it's always ridiculous to see
how muscular and toned he is. The paint application on them looks
fantastic you'll see that some parts have
more of a flat paint tone on them while others have more of a glossy look to it.
The only point of this piece connecting to the statue is that notch and steel
rod that you saw on the foot.
All in all there's so much hand-painted details going in to the paint job on Meruem.
Man you can see even as you look right there at his neck there's that one detail painted on there to.
The tail here was sculpted perfectly and every time I see it...it always reminds me
of the tail that was used on the antagonist in Dragon Ball Z named Cell haha!
The stinger piece on the end does have a little bit of flexibility to it so
i'm not sure if it's made out of resin or pvc but i'm really happy if it wasn't
made out of resin so it's not as fragile.
With everything connected we'll go ahead and get him attached onto the base.
As if this wasn't epic enough we have one giant piece
to go over and showcase we have to take a step back because of how large this is.
This hand right here further goes along with that statement i said before about
how Figurama statues when you see them all
put together in a room they command a presence!
see them and your eyes immediately go to them for
how epic and dynamic they are. Short story time, as I mentioned before
the magnets are very strong on the statue
and I take a statue apart multiple times while doing a review and as I was trying
to pull this piece off this tip here actually caught the side of my chest and
uh cut me a little bit is unexpected but i was pulling pulley pulling and it
finally came off and I just unexpectedly swiped me a
little bit uh through my t-shirt. One extremely cool thing that they
Included with the statue is going to be this folder
and of course they have one of their standard wax seals on top i'm a sucker
for wax seals I love them! But we're going to go ahead and open this up.
Included first is our lovely certificate of authenticity you'll see all sorts of
little goodies here that further showcase that this is an authentic product.
You got signatures you got names you got stickers
and i'll let you go ahead and take a pause and read that if you need to.
Now this is super cool so i'm very comfortable with putting statues
together personally but there are some people
that are newer to statues and so this is a guide that showcase
all the different parts and where they go where you should install them.
Also you had a topical view of the box so if you ever have to repackage
anything that you can easily do that and here's
some nice artistic shots of the statue. Awesome addition from Figurama!
Two more goodies were included. One of them is going to be this
giant piece of artwork that you can display somewhere in your room
or if you're like me I don't have room for that so i'd probably just keep
in the package and then we have a collector's pin of
the figurama logo, very cool!
Again I want to give a huge thank you and shout out to Martin Meeks
for sending me this statue to review for the channel. It is a great honor to be
able to share with everybody not only a Figurama
statue but a Hunter x Hunter statue
and all around I had such a blast being able to see this in person.
It was really priceless and I have checked something off of my bucket list.
