Hey Spheric Thor,

Did you have to tighten up the screws so the armature would be poseable or at least remain in the pose? Also, did you have an oily/brownish residue all over the armature when you removed it from the plastic bag? Thanks....

God Bless,

GraFX Boy

 

[Spheric Thor]

Yes, you have to tighten up the various screws. I started with the legs, so I could attach the base. Then worked my way up the torso to the head. After that then I would loosen screws a little to move the armature into the position I wanted. There is a brownish slightly oily color to parts of the armture to simulate an aged effect.

Chris.. Does the head look removable?

Lynn

 

[Spheric Thor]

Yes, the head is removable. It slide on a post and secured by a screw. You can see the screw in the head shot picture I posted.

Chris...

Is Kong movable from the waist down?

It was mentioned by Bob Burns that it may not be, I was wondering how they did it finally.

How heavy is he?

Oh... Mine ships on Monday.. Woo Hooo..

[Spheric Thor]

The armature weighs 8.5 lbs off the base. The hips, knees and ankles are all movable.

 

[Lynn TXP 0369]

Too sweet..

I think this is going to be favorite piece of all time.
Anyone else get theirs yet???

Thanks,
Lynn

This may have been answered before, but is the armature metal?

At 8.5 lbs. for just the armature itself, I don't think it is plastic..
