Hey everybody BAM Collectibles here back for another statue unboxing review for you.
My voice may sound a little different today because my allergies are kicking me in the
butt but the unboxings must go on! Today we have a spicy controversial statue because of
its inaccuracies to the source material and this is Cartoon World's battle damage line featuring
other than Konan coming in at their number two in the series. For those that recall she
did die in the hands of Tobi or as we later on found out Obito in the Village Hidden in
the Rain so we have those pipes that are being brought forth to kind of represent that village.
Scattered all throughout the statue in a very dynamic way we'll see the paper that some of it's
being incinerated from some of the explosive tags I imagine that she let off against Tobi in that
moment you know i'm going to keep on referring to him as Tobi because in that moment we had no idea
it was Obito now over there on that side we'll actually see that there's a break that happened
during my shipment. Unfortunately I think this statue was kind of plagued with these
because there's a lot of very fragile pieces of the paper that were sculpted with the statue.
We also have the two notches are going to be used to mount her feet to the base.
Great job overall by the studio and creating a base that has a small footprint but also
heavy enough to support the character. One thing i do when gluing broken pieces is I take a fine
grit sandpaper and rub it up against those parts where the clean break was just to make a little
bit of an area that's rougher so it adhesives and glue sticks a little bit better and here's the
glue that I use oh dang it it's the one I took the label off of but here's what it looks like. You can
check out the links in the description for my BAM Collectibles Amazon Store that's where you can see
what the glue I use and what works for me best but I sometimes apply this with a toothpick for this
I'm not worried about it because anything that bleeds off of the sides just gonna blend in
because it is a piece of white paper. After I get everything lined up I'll go ahead and hold
it as long as I can. There you have it that's how I deal with more of these
minor small breaks right this is a fragile collectible and sometimes this stuff happens
learn how to repair things yourself and take care of it if it's obviously a serious break contact
your reseller but because it's a piece of the diorama I'm just gonna fix the dang thing right.
Just a reminder we are doing the giveaway for apocalypse studios KCM Naruto now through the end
of June just comment on any video that releases between now and then as well as following me on
social media, Instagram or Facebook, and leave a meaningful comment on the video. At the end of
the month we'll do a live stream select a random video and a random comment maybe even two or three
winners just in case one doesn't you know reply to anything and then we'll be doing the actual
giveaway on the channel. All right now buckle up things are going to get a little controversial
here because the outfit that Konan is wearing is not seen accurate at all in fact this is way too
sexy for someone's death scene if you see all the different rips and tears that are going on in her
outfit so for what they are obviously the paint job is really nice and detailed for it but
again it's just not something that was accurate to the show or we didn't get to see these aspects
of her it's kind of an artistic interpretation. The fraying of the robe looks amazing and obviously we
have the decal graphic with the red cloud that looks awesome. There's a notch where an effect
particle is going to go later some more of the paper. The hands were sculpted nice we have that
subtle touch of paint on the fingernails there that showcase the polish and then the further
we go up the more inaccurate things get so her belly button is showing with those four
little piercings there and here are the breasts. All I can say is the water was cold...they also
were very generous with adding a lot of side boob on here again this statue is kind of
not something I really stand for as a collector that much I'm not really into collecting things
that i would consider a little bit pervy but this is a statue line that I wanted to collect
the complete lot of the battle damage line so that's why I did decide to go with it. On the
back we'll see several different notches from a bunch of effect pieces that we will install next.
As we key in the notches to the grooves just a reminder here's how she looks like in the show.
I don't really stand for the way this statue represents her character I don't really feel
like this accurately does at all represent who she is but just my two cents on the matter.
As I mentioned before there's a lot of effect pieces that were sculpted separately
and they're gonna look like this right it's a lot of paper that is seared and singed with the flames
now that is a really cool effect to add on this statue i think they executed that really nicely
and we'll see that even more so as we go up to the pieces that are on the back a lot of these are
attached to the back by magnets. So this piece right here I actually think
fell off or maybe the glue came off because it doesn't have a magnet
and it goes right into place. I may glue that later so that's another thing where it didn't exactly
break but the glue it loosened up so it did fall out and was loose inside of the box there but all
the other pieces do go on with nice little tiny round magnets impacted into the square notches.
With that large last piece installed there we have it almost looks like the wing is being burnt
down so crazy cool looking. Here's the other hand that was sculpted separately really dynamic the
way that the paper is kind of going through a corkscrew around her hand. We can see the
nice little decal on the ring. I think that ring actually stands for white if I recall I think
it's just got the kanji for white and again that corkscrew effect it's got the magnet inside there.
Now just like that one back piece where it fell off there's a piece that was on her hand here that
did fall off during transit as well I could glue it if I easily wanted to but I want to show you so
here's the extra piece it kind of further extends that corkscrew that just goes out of her hand and
if I add that effect onto here I kind of like it without I can't see her hand as much and
so i almost like that it did fall off so I'm probably going to end up leaving it that way.
Unlike cartoon world's typical head sculpts this one's a little bit less than perfect in my opinion
but even though it lacks perfection I think they did do a great job with it and one thing that I
loved is if we zoom in closely we can see that her skin is kind of folding off as the pieces of paper
are beginning to unravel. So a really cool feature a detail that I've never seen added
into any statue of her yet. So while it doesn't look perfect overall I think it is an amazing
head sculpt that's innovative that they did and for every statue I gotta have some cool card to
go with it so here we have a custom card so this is not one that was made in the actual Naruto CCG
game so I got this one off of eBay. If you're ever looking for some Naruto cards you can
check my links in the description you can try to find some on there but that's what it looks
like pretty cool custom card I love these right they do a really good job of making them look
as authentic as possible. I think that is some artwork from Naruto Blazing that
they took that's on the card right there so there's my stand i have i'll set this aside.
Next up one of my favorite things about the Cartoon World battle damage line is they
give you a secondary free statue so this is the base for that. So we have another representation
of the Village Hidden in the Rain with all those metallic-looking pipes. There's her actual ring
again I believe that kanji is for white and here are some chains that they sculpted that magnetized
to the side of this smaller base. Now I don't think you have to include these on there
if you don't want to but then we have this smaller chibi version of Konan it looks amazing
we have those paper wings on the back. I'm a sucker for these super deformed I think it's SD
scale or the chibi-looking scale figures of these but this is a complete freebie that they include
and they will include for each character they release so I love it I think they go well with
the statue. If you saw my review on Tobi or Obito they had him as well so they continue
that for these and they will continue for Pain next and then Deidara after that.
Here's how she connects to the stand and again you can put those chains on there if you'd like.
I know there's many out there that aren't a fan of this stylish statue but hey if you don't like
it it's free give it to your younger brother sister somebody who can afford a statue come on.
There we have it here is the final reveal for everything all together.
It looks incredible overall again there are some aspects that I don't like I kind of wish it was
more scene accurate but they did do a great job in making a beautiful statue for what it is
and I mentioned the toby statue the Obito statue before but heck why not let's bring them on stage
and see how these look side by side. So there's his chibi version and then here is the main
statue itself. So they do look awesome this line is extremely strong I'm excited for it it's
actually one of my most excited lines I'm gonna be collecting over the many months.
Pain is shipping soon and Deidara just went up for pre-order. If you have been sitting
on this line of statues I recommend you catch up soon because these bad boys are gonna get
pretty expensive over time as the line continues. Thank you so much for checking out today's video!
As always everybody I'll see you in the next, do what you love and love what you do, BAM out!
