This would be a 4.5 stars if I could set it at that. He is really lovely. The detailed base is amazing and his hair detailing and the chains have a very striking effect. The figure is smaller than I was expecting, but it displays well with 1/8 scales. The paintwork is where I'd remove half a star if possible because of its overall lack of subtlety. The shading is very dark and sloppy in swathes of purple and blue all across his garment that appear to have been applied without any real rhyme or reason. The shading on the feet is also very ugly. His toes are shaded quite dark while the nails are painted very light. The effect is kind of gross and makes his skin look dirty.
