I never bothered to take a picture of the box but it comes in a large yellow question mark box from the Mario games. Nice touch! You pop it out and you soon realize it’s made out of the softest plastic known to man. That’s no doubt one reason it’s so light. You could probably take any of the characters and bend them completely to their side without breaking them. Though really, if you were expecting a resin statue for free, laffo. The blocks and base are of a harder material though. It’s pretty small, it comes in at maybe 4-5 inches tall?

You can see the paint issues in my pictures but keep in mind the small pictures are about the size of the statue. The high-res ones? They’re enormous compared to the real statue. So yeah, some of the detail work is sloppy, other parts like the eyes of the characters are nicely done. One thing that I don’t like about the statue is Bowser’s pose. While perfectly menacing, it seems to unbalance the statue by being in the middle and looking one way instead of looking straight forward.

3.5/5 A fun little collectible. Not without faults but for free? It’d be pretty petty to complain, haha. Although if you’re buying it on Ebay, it’ll set you back $30-$50.

Wind Waker themed stained glass window!

I’ll follow this one just because I’m curious as to what price it’ll go for, I can’t recall seeing collectibles art like this up for sale.

Hobby Search has Professor Layton on sale for under $10! Sure, shipping is a few bucks more, but trust me, totally worth if you’ve ever played the games. Or you know, just want a cool mystery-solving detective in your collection.

If you’re ordering it direct from them, use the code RG2NP8 to get $25 off. More pictures under the cut.

The prototype images had Link with a kinda goofy anime styled face. I’m fine with anime style where it’s appropriate, but it looked bad. So glad they resculpted it and came up with this. While I wouldn’t say it’s a perfect Link face, it’s much closer to what it should be. You’ll note from the pose, where the face is partially obscured, the minor flaws in the current face are fairly well hidden.

Link’s in an action pose here, about to unleash the Master Sword. The way he’s tensed up, how he’s holding his shield behind him, how his one foot is planted while one is holding the rest of his weight, it’s a great choice for a pose. It’s kinda strange that both First4Figures statues I own that’re in action poses, Varia Suit Samus and Link, are both crouching down. Crouching statues like this aren’t that common.

The base is way nicer than I was expecting. Sure, a tree stump breaking through part of a broken rock road doesn’t make much sense to me, but it’s really well detailed. The stump itself has a map and a key on top. The map looks fantastic, I loved this small addition to the statue.

The shield, the sword, his ridiculous hat and shoes, the overall package comes together really great. They took some care on the sculpting of this one. I’m pretty familiar with Link’s design by now and I can’t think of anything I’d change.

The paint is very good, but not perfect. While most of the detail work is excellent, they went a bit heavy on some of the shading. Take a look at the shield to see what I mean. The back of his tunic has something similar going on but it’s not nearly as bad. His eyes are good and expressive, the sword and sheath have nice details.

4/5.

Buying Options : This version rarely shows up on Ebay, it’s went up in value. However, the red and blue versions show up often and they go below retail.
