NEW PRODUCT: Threezero & Sideshow: 1/6 "Court of the Dead" - Demithyle Action Figure

Whoa this guy is massive!

Haven't seen any pictures with the matching Malavestros side by side.  Not sure whether that size difference will look dramatic or ridiculous, given that Malavestros is just under 10".  I suspect that most displays will rely on one of the TBL figures at @12", Gethsemoni or the Kiers, to transition the size differences.

The fact that neither TBL nor Threezero has announced any more Court of the Dead figures since these were promo'd long ago (and despite all those other designs pre-existing as statues) could be a deterrrent.

Thanks guys for the comments. Always a fan of in hand pics on this board, glad I can contribute.

On the downside, the paint application seems to be just 'ordinary', the long arm seems to be especially weak in this regard.
Overall, I'm happy, because with patience and the right paint application, this will be a +10 figure. I have mixed feelings about having to pay Hot Toys prices for a figure that needs work to reach that price level.
A dioarama base, hours of painting and possibly a replacement of some materials (I'm starting to think about a new realistic chain mail for example), will do the job.

True - I think I might also enhance this figure a bit. The details look great on the armor etc. And I always like if you can do some own work on a figure (as much as I like some perfect ones from the go) 
I think you will love this figure if you are a fan of Court. Like, I really like his appearance but couldn't help to feel a tad dissapointed with the plastic feel and smell. 
Can't wait to see your improvements for this figure. Chainmail replacement is tricky I think.

I think the size differences are kinda cool, if you display them all together. I don't have anything else from this line (thought about a Kier, they are pretty cool) and definately won't get Malavestros (especially for that price), as I will be underwhelmed by its plastic parts as well. 

Edit...Arrived today. Amazing figure that far exceeded expectations. I customized the eyes, giving them the look of the first premium format. He is very poseable. the details are impressive, the metal effect of the armor is well rendered by the coloring. It just needs a base  and maybe a little dirty effect on fabrics if you want to create a more "lived-in" effect.

Some pics with the custom base and other add…

Great idea to bring out the eyes. And the base looks beautifully dreadful.

That is really cool. Nice work.

Very striking horror figure!

Thank you. The next step is to create a helmet or mask, which I would have liked to have included as an alternative head.
