This would have been an immediate buy for me except for the cloth cape. I don't get the obsession with having a resin statue and then having an attached cloth cape that will gather dust like a magnet and disintegrate over time. Then your stuck with a goofy looking statue. Why not offer a choice of a sculpted resin cape or cloth cape? Certainly that could be accommodated these days. In any event, this will be a pass from me. It's a great looking statue BTW.

Yeah, a cloth cape seems like an odd choice for a straight-up statue, but then again I'm not much of a statue guy for the most part so I'm not the audience for this anyway. Don't think I've ever seen that before, though. Kinda cheapens the overall look, in my view.
