The Legend of Zelda Fierce Deity Link 14" Statue

The Legend of Zelda Fierce Deity Link 14" Statue

Product Descripton
Very little is understood about the demigod know as the Fierce Deity. With his history shrouded in mystery, the dark and mighty warrior was trapped into a mask, a mask which allows the wearer to inhabit the Fierce Deity's powerful body. Powerful and evil, could this mask's dark powers be as bad as Majora? When young Link doesn't wear the Fierce Deity Mask, he manages to harness its power without being corrupted and is transformed into Fierce Deity Link for the ultimate showdown with Majora. The Fierce Deity Link, the first collectible statue in the First 4 Figures highly anticipated Legend of Zelda collectible statue series. With inspiration taken from the official Majora's Mask Fierce Deity Link artwork, the statue has faithfully recreated Fierce Deity's powerful and mysterious character and pose. Raising his double helix sword high above his head, he is ready to take on any his enemies. Towering at over 14.5 inches to the tip of his sword hilt, Fierce Deity Link will be in scale with the others in the series. Cast in high quality poly-stone, the statue is hand finished and hand painted. Comes packed in a foam interior full colored box with a card of authenticity. Highly limited at only 2,500 pieces available worldwide. 14.5inch

So Awesome...so Fierce (you knew it was a pun was coming)
For Zelda fans who were dedicated enough to collect all the masks in the Majora's Mask video game, they were treated with a brand new mask known as the Fierce Deity and by donning said mask, Link transfroms into the his adult self yet in control of the Fierce Deity Demi god. Thanks to First 4 Figures, they have brought him to life with very faithful detail.

The first thing you will notice is the paint. While they could have used more vibrant colors and a little more sharpness here and there, I am overall content and satisfied with the end result of F4F's hard labour. Paint nicks here and there do detract from the overall beauty, but most aren't bigger then a pencil nick meaning they aren't visible from afar. The paint they chose should have been stronger or more resistant to scratches because my dad picked off some of his hair color by running his fingernail against it (why he did that is beyond me) Great job, but could have been better.

Assembly scarred me for a second because the figure isn't one object, its 3 including the base. There is the character with everything but hands, the hands with the sword, and the base plate. While assembling, I heard a crack and got really worried very quick (you would too if you spent the price tag listed! more on that in a bit) yet my worries weren't for much since it was just some paint on the hands chipping off. So a little difficult to put together which should have been easier, but I got it eventually. I ended up super gluing his hands on since he kept hittting himself in the back of the head (which of course left a small nick). Could have been better, but its pretty hard and wonky to try and ship something so large.

The Figurine stands almost 15 inches tall and the base plate does give it a little boost in that department. The plate is very detailed with paiting designs on top and around the base, but the ones around the base are not lined up like they should be, but oh well. Human kind is flawed and so will its products be, right?

Just because I have said a bunch of little negative things though, don't let that deter you from considering buying this. If you are a die hard zelda fan and I MEAN DIE HARD ZELDA FAN, then I suggest buying this statue. For those that like to look, but don't really want to touch or own have the internet to look it up. Weigh the worth of this statue in your mind because $271.89 isn't exactly something you pull out of your couch cushions.

Overall, I would give the statue a 7.5/10 because of price and nicks + assembly...oh and don't forget that I had to use super glue to get his sword from clumping the back of his dome!

Awesome, but poorly designed
First off, let me emphasize that I am a HUGE Legend of Zelda fan and have been my whole life. I have spent many years collecting Zelda memorabelia and I TOTALLY drooled when I saw the first picture of this statue. Originally this was the only one of the statues in the First 4 Figures Zelda line that I would consider blowing a huge wad on, but, alas, due to it's scarcity, it ended up being the last one I bought to round out my AWESOME collection of these statues.

As you can tell from the picture, this statue looks AMAZING! Very pretty and pretty good paint job. That's the thing though, it LOOKS amazing, but I had several severe problems right off the bat. First thing I noticed was some paint scrapes on the pegs on his feet that keep him on the base, no big deal. I had no problem attatching the hands holding the sword onto the statue, but was VERY careful about it. It took some force, so I can say, without a doubt that you should be VERY careful doing it so as not to snap off the sword.

OK, so then there's the base, there was one HUGE problem that I continue to have with it, the peg holes to stand him up on the base are too big. The statue is INCREDIBLY wobbly, due especially to the fact that It's top heavy in the back due to the huge sword. If I have it standing one way on the base, he won't remain standing at all, he just tilts all the way backwards. If I have it facing the other way on the base, he tilts backwards, but stops a little ways back, so I have to prop it up against the back of the shelf I have it on. I have mild concerns about the structual integrity of the pegs on his feet about whether they will hold up under the pressure of being bent back by the weight of the statue.

Then, there's the big incedent I had, just minutes after I took it out of the box. I got in sort of a rush wanting to put it on the shelf and didn't want to carefully walk it around the room so I picked it up off of my bed by the base, and, sure enough, it just tipped over off the base. I quickly reacted and grabbed the statue and... POP! The head of the statue just broke right off!!!!! I spent $300 on this amazing statue, one of only 2500 in the entire world, that I've coveted for months and it just breaks like that. Thank God for super glue. I was able to gently reaattach the severed head, and, it looks fine (aside from a small crack visible up close, but it just looks like a paint chip), but it just isn't the same to me now that I know it's not even remotely in mint condition, plus the emotional scar that I could've prevented all of this just by being a little more careful handling it. I'm not sure whether the damage was mostly due to shipping damage or not, and, sure the package was insured and everything so I suppose I could return it, but this statue is getting so scarce that I don't know if I would get a replacement anytime soon, and I figure it's not worth the effort. Maybe mine is just a defect, who knows, I just have to warn you all, BE VERY GENTLE WITH IT!!!!

Seriously Awesome! XD
Okay so I wasn't 100% on this figure. I desperately wanted him to complete my F4F Zelda Series so far but with such a heavy price tag and reports of him being VERY delicate I was pretty skeptical...



I totally take it back!

He is SO awesome. Seriously, He is pretty delicate though - mainly when it comes to putting his hands and double helix sword in to his arms. I feel guilty for keeping him in the box but until I can find somewhere insanely safe to put him (possibly under lock and key =p)thats where he will stay.

The paint job is out of this world! The colours are so bright and bold, unlike Skull kid whos colours are much more muted in person than the photos of him show, with very minor bubbling here and there (but its not noticable at all). The detail is freaking impeccable. It sounds daft but the base alone is seriously impressive.

He is huge. honestly, the biggest of all the statues I have. He even towers above all my Living Dead Dolls.

He is definately one of my favourites and I would almost say the most impressive piece in my collection (certainly one of the more expensive at $280!)

Had a slight problem with shipping and had to pay a further £30 ($50) to get him into the UK. So was pretty pissed about that.

But he is Definately worth it. If the chance comes up for you to get this figure, I implore you to get him! You absolutely will not be dissapointed!!
