I think I'll give in to getting the Ciri, Dandelion, and Triss  statues.  These statues are just too nice.

I just bought the Ciri Series 2 (alternate costume) figure.

 

My collection just doesn't look right with Ciri missing.

got ciri in the mail

beautiful and highly detailed statue, better in person than in pictures.  At a normal viewing distance, the face issues aren't so apparent. Ciri looks like a mean 47 year old MILF.  Ciri (original costume) is a top 5 best seller for Dark Horse.  I think it's likely that they will start another production run in 2024 or maybe even in late 2023.  I would definitely get it then.

 

The statue is 9 inches tall, 0.5 inches shorter than Geralt so the pair matches when placed next to each other.  however, Geralt's head on the series 1 statue is still too anatomically small compared to Ciri.

 

Now the only people missing are Dandelion and Triss.

This is the Dark Horse-CDPR Ciri Kitsune statue. It has a very good face and hair sculpt and is the best one the company has produced.  

 

If they manufacture the Ciri Original costume statue with the same face sculpt people will love it.

best face sculpt, but for a 1/6th sized figure:

I think I'll have to buy this.  I don't like the costume or the pasty/ aggressive look on Geralt's face but this the only Dark Horse Geralt that is anatomically correct with the other statues and has a standing posture.  Unlike the other one, it is 8 1/2 inches tall (half inch taller) and has a larger head.  The face sculpt looks a lot more like Game Geralt.  It is also  the most popular Dark Horse Witcher product and their #4 selling statue.

 

 

The company's lineup is inconsistent with the game heights. The women (Shani, Yennefer, Triss, Ciri) if standing are the same height as default Geralt with the 1.5 inch base (8inches).   Ciri has a slightly bigger face than Geralt which is wrong as well.

 

The Dandelion statue is also 8 1/2 inches tall, making him as tall as the Ursine Geralt but taller than the default Geralt.  In the game the two men are the around the same height.

When I got this figure I couldn't figure out where the haircut came from in the game.  It wasn't in hearts of stone.

 

It's Geralts' hair from the prison ending in blood and wine!

Got the Geralt Ursine statue in the morning.  Including taxes it cost me $64

 

It's pretty much how I imagined it would look like.  It's a high quality statue, well made.  Mine has a very slight defect on the left cheek, the grey splotch is a little too big.  It's not as visually pleasing as the other Geralt statue as Geralt looks like he took a potion, is pasty faced and has an aggressive stance of walking forward.   His head unfortunately is tilted more downwards than I would have liked, so the statue looks better if it is placed higher.  

 

The headsculpt is why I bought it.  When placed with the female statues, it blends in a bit better as Geralt's head is 30% larger than the other Geralt heads.  This statue is also 1 cm taller than the other one.  The face looks more like the Geralt from the game but also more mean. His head is wider and longer.

 

The statue would have been perfect if they made the physical expression more relaxed, and gave Geralt's face the same non-pasty and more natural paint job as the others, but it is as it is.

The sexy & beautiful Triss statue really surprised me and surpassed my expectations.  For some reason they didn't look this good on youtube and in photos.

 

The female face is the best out of all the Witcher women that I collected.  Really well done paint job and very delicate with a lot of fine details.

 

It's a worthy statue to approximate Triss in the W3.  It also looks like Madison Headrick with red hair.

bought the Geralt Mandicore Statue.  I hope it's taller than 7 3/4th inches it is supposed to be.

So got the Geralt Mandicore statue in the mail.

 

It has its merits but I am slightly disappointed.

 

The statue itself is well made, well painted and Geralt has the nice mandicore grandmaster costume from the game.

 

His face sculpt looks like Geralt from the game and is well painted.  I think out of the 3 Geralt statues I have the face itself is the best one.  

 

However there are two significant problems with the statue.  The hunched posture isn't great and the statue has its good angles and not so good angles.  

 

The worst problem is the size and proportions of the statue.  It is most out of proportion statue of them all.  Geralt looks way too small compared to the female statues and the other Geralt statues.  The statue needs to be 30% larger to be in proportion.  

 

So sadly it seems that I can't display this with the women.

Measured the Geralt Mandicore statue.

 

Standing hunched he measures 7 2/3rds inches

 

however I measured his limbs and it's a more acceptable 9 1/4th-9 1/2 inches.  So I guess he isn't that anatomically incorrect, it's just that he's slouching so much that he is shorter than Ciri lol.

Got the dandelion statue in the mail.  Beautifully painted with a lot of details, like the other figures they look better in person than in photos.  There is a nice sheen/gloss to the paint.  Extremely well made.  

 

Unfortunately he is a bit too big and tall compared to Geralt, especially with the hat.

Vesemir and Geralt Tourney armor came out.

 

I bought Geralt Tourney armor.

 

I will probably buy Vesemir but part of me thinks that's it's better to keep him a memory.

Good acceleration (w/300 horsepower)  but I wish it was a more nimble.  The SUV weighs over 5,000 lbs.

 

Huge amount of small 'luxury' features.
