This wing for Sasuke is literally the size of my hand!!!
Hey everybody BAM Collectibles here back for another statue unboxing review for you!
This statue is made by Dream Studio and sits at a scale of 1/5. Not a scale we used to seeing
but I have some other scaled statues of Curse Mark 2 Sasuke we'll take a look at at the end.
For the base it's a round plate style on the the top we'll see the Curse Mark with
Sasuke's name. On the bottom left is Dream Studios logo and on the center is the battery pack that's
powered by two AA batteries that's going to light up the singular led on the statue that has a very
important purpose. On the left there's also the on and off switch now looking at the top
diorama pieces on the statue it's primarily themed after Orochimaru's base. You can see the bluish maybe
not so much but definitely when we get towards the rocky section up top but there's that singular
LED that I had mentioned before. It's going to be shooting up and shining on a very important piece
of the statue that I can't wait to show you. If you're new to statues you might see these little
notches and grooves they look like almost damage is done to the statue but these are actually
sections where other pieces are going to connect to. This is one of four extra pieces that they
included to plug in those holes in the back. Now you might be thinking why didn't they just
sculpt them on there but there was actually an EX version of the statue where some large white
snakes were included but this is the regular. version that we'll be taking a look at today.
In my opinion the ex version snakes kind of choked out Sasuke's presence a little bit too
much from my liking but on the left and right sides here we're gonna key in these lightning
or Chidori effect pieces that are coming from out of the ground. That blank section is where
it's going to key into the bottom of the base and we can see lots of different colors going on
there some pinks, purples, dark blues, light blues, I love the way that they shaded this piece to bring
it to life. So there's the left one here and also the other one on the right. So that's it for the
diorama on the base definitely not bland but at the same time nothing over the top going on here.
Here is the main section for Sasuke's body on this left foot here we'll see the notch and also
the steel rod that's the main way that it does connect to the base. I'm shocked that they only
have that side and this side over here just rests flat against there but all throughout the outfit
we will see some texturization going on that's typical to see in these larger scale statues the
1/4 scale this one again is 1/5 kind of an odd one and sometimes in the 1/6 and 1/7.
The skin tone colors are definitely done well and on the back we have these big
notches where the wings are going to key into.
As you can tell several other pieces are going to be needed to bring this statue to life so
there is the belt or the rope that he has around his waist it's going to be inserted
with a little notch and a steel rod that's going to connect right then the front section of him.
If you're looking at the front of the statue this is going to be the left hand if you can't tell
by the grip itself he is going to be holding a sword one thing I love about Sasuke
is he does hold typically his sword in that kind of reverse grip form where it's facing
upwards and kind of behind his wrist and here's the other hand where it is perfectly positioned
to be holding a Chidori and there's a notch where it's going to key into later.
All right we can see this bad boy coming together nicely now we'll take a look at the sword which is
made of real steel. I love it when they make things out of real material like this so it
it came perfectly straight no bending no warping and that's one thing I love about
it and also we have the sheath that they created which is going to slide in to the back of Sasuke.
This is just made out of resin so you have to be a little bit more careful with that but we'll
remove the arm and what's neat is you slide it right into place and you can only go but so
far because it hits that thumb and that's when you know you've got it into a perfect position
but again he's got that awesome cool looking reverse grip with the sword.
Spinning him around back as I mentioned before the sheath just slides right into place it
doesn't connect into anything specifically but gravity holds it on there perfectly.
Now it's time to take a look at the wing for Sasuke on the bottom left we'll see the
notch and steel rod that steel rod goes through the spine of this piece to make
sure its integrity holds up now you know I said wing but it's a hand is it a hand
or is it a wing I guess it is a wing-hand let me know the comment section below what you think but
no no matter how many times I see these dang curse mark ii wings they creep me out so much right you
have fingers within hands within wings within webbing just such a creepy thing but they also
did a great job with the skin and the shades of the tones that they bring out just like the body.
As we spin him around and take a look at the second wing I want to say a special thank you to
Tyler he actually reached out to me when I made a post several months ago my gosh it was just a
year ago about trading cards for statues and he had traded his entire naruto collection to me
entrusted me with a lot of amazing cards in there and in exchange he did want this statue so he
pre-ordered it for him and today I'm thankful to be able to showcase it to him before I send it off.
What's the also is this week I'll be getting a lot of graded cards back some of his included that I
plan to showcase if I'm gonna actually probably do a live stream this coming Friday let me know
in the comments section if you would love to see a live stream for those. Speaking of Naruto cards we
can't talk about them without cracking open a pack so we'll bust open this blister of the Foretold
Prophecy this is from the official Naruto CCG game that did end many years ago but I do still
have quite a few packs lying around that it will always crack open during some unboxings when I can.
But yes this Friday please look forward to hopefully I'll be able to do a live stream
I'll have a more official announcement on the channel for when that's gonna go down what time
specifically but I look forward to hanging out it'll be a rather long video I think there's about
200 graded cards that are gonna be coming back so a lot to showcase and unpack so I'll probably
do the live stream and then maybe a follow up video later with some of the big hitters for that.
The cards stuck together on the end so I forgot to showcase the rare for the pack
but also included with the statue is this awesome edition size coin the studio logo
the edition size number and then on the back we have that curse mark again and
a cool little acrylic stand they included so you can showcase it right next to the statue.
The head sculpt on Sasuke is just perfection this is my first statue by Dream Studio on
the channel so I'm happy to confirm that they do put out some great work at least for this piece
they definitely did. I love how the hair is kind of flowing in the wind some dark blues light blue
shaded in there and then obviously around the front. I feel like they captured his likeness
perfectly well. I love the eye decals and how they bring out the Sharingan on there too
but we'll go ahead and get this connected onto the body and take a look at the Chidori as we
step back a little bit this is the larger Chidori the main effect piece they included
crazy how they sculpted this thing a lot of super fragile pieces connected
to that central location. I love it when studios do illuminate the Chidori though it's a really
difficult thing to do engineering wise but for this statue we have that spotlight on the bottom
left that's going to be shining upwards we'll dim down the lights and take a look.
There you have it that's the solution to illuminate the Chidori now if this was
mine I'd buy those electronic batteries to power instead of the AA's I have those on the BAM
Collectibles Amazon shop you can always see that with the link in the description but I also want
to show to you the ex version of the statue with the snakes again not my cup of tea but definitely
a cool option if you want it. I promise you we'd show off some scales so on the left is DP9
1/7 scale Sasuke, in the center is the 1/6 scale Cloud Studios and then we have
the Dream 1/5 scale on the right of course. I hope this does give you an idea of how scales
do work with statues. Thanks again Tyler for letting me share with everyone on the channel.
I hope to see everyone later this week for the live stream details will follow shortly.
As always everybody I'll see in the next video, do what you love and love what you do, BAM out!
