Sano:

I painted a Street Fighter II V Ryu statue long ago. Mainly because this is about the ONLY figure I could find based on that series.

Wasn’t hard since I only needed white for his gi, a fleshy orange for his skin and black for his hair, eyebrows and eyeballs. This Ryu had no red headband and not even that brown beaded wrist band he had in the anime.

Sadly the statue fell over after about a year and one of his arms broke off. They arms normally come off so you can paint them but one of them broke good. I still have it in a box somewhere but never got around to krazy gluing his arm back. I guess I’m still worried that I have no real way to stand him up that will guarantee that he won’t fall over. I could lean his back against the wall of one of my shelves but I have actual toys leaning there because they can’t stand up for jack.

PS anyone who still makes statues or toys that do not come with stands needs to go die in a fire. :annoy:

I do paint actual drawings so it may have been easier for me to paint the figure. Still if you get the right brushes like, something really small like a zero round tip brush or lower than the little details are easy. Bigger brushers for bigger stuff of course. The big details are even easier but you just have to be careful with colors dripping on top of others. Of course paint can go over paint so you can keep adjusting until you get it right.

I don’t think I’d have the patience to start painting a multi-colored Gundam model or anything that complicated.

You usually can find models already painted either by the distributer or some stores paint them already. Some stores will do it for you if you pay them to.

Though I myself find that when stores themselves paint figures, there are times I think they are… stupid? Once I saw a Street Fighter II Chun-Li statue store painted. Chun-Li was kicking high and every color was just right. Except her legs were not painted brown to show that she was wearing pantyhose, they were colored the same as her skin tone - her face. So her legs had a fleshy color instead of their regular brown color. I mean either the painter did not play enough SF2 to have her colors branded onto his brain, didn’t look at a stinking picture, ran out of / went cheap on the paint or thought this was extra perverted somehow, but it wasn’t really to me… And they were charging 300 dollars for this hack job…

Is there anyway you can post a pic of that? Ive never seen it myself. SFII V was crazy and odd, but it was one hell of a series.

I actually have that daredevil/punisher statue, it’s pretty damn sweet

Sano · September 30, 2009, 5:41pm

I’ll have to look for it but if I find it sure. I’ll try to fix his arms so he’s presentable…

fistoftheryustar · September 30, 2009, 9:57pm

ah ok.

i had a Ryu statue that I repainted to what he looked like after he finally reached his full potential and not (im training im training) like capcom plays him

You guys need to post up pics of your statues. Lack of real pics in this thread.

Sano · October 2, 2009, 4:28am

Two requests handled at once! MOD OF THE YEAR!

Hard to get a clear picture of his face, too much glare. Paint’s faded a little here and there since it’s pretty old but it’s not too bad. The arm glued back on pretty solid. Got him leaning against the wall of one of my toy shelves, found just enough space.

I’ll put up pics of my Devil May Cry statues in a few weeks.

I think that’s about all of the statues I have.

Very nice Street Fighter statue bust, is there a Zangief one?

Here are my new statues:

Marvel Mini bust

Hulk looks like Frankenstein…Everyone else seems pretty decent i guess. I think i should have went with the Bowen bust. Oh well.

Spiderman Master Replica

Spidey’s eye looks kinda off but overall an amazing statue. I love it.

This is getting to be an expensive hobby. :xeye:

Sano · October 19, 2009, 5:28pm

I don’t think they ever made a Zangief bust. Would be great though!

Psych0Sh0t · October 19, 2009, 9:02pm

Does anybody know where I can purchase an Arkham Asylum Harley Quinn statue?

Difoj · October 20, 2009, 5:09am

I have not heard anything about Arkham Asylum verisons of any of the Batman people, which is odd given how awesome they all look and how kickass the game is and how shitty games have items out before the game is even out

Psych0Sh0t · October 20, 2009, 5:59am

I want a fucking statue of the Scarecrow from Arkham Asylum, damn it.

Difoj · October 20, 2009, 4:23pm

I feel you on that, I am not even a big Batman fan and I want something from that game too, I’m hoping they have something in the works, not likely statues but action figures are the best bet :xeye:
