Nick Fury's Needle Gun!...meh.

Posted in Off Topic

Yeah, I got in in the mail today, and it's kinda meh. It has a $140 MSRP (suggested retail price) but I got it for $25 so I can't complain too much. Warning, huge pictures, review to come sometime. The jist of it is, no way it's worth $140. This thing looks like someone carved it out of paper-mache. It's uneven, bumpy, it looks like there are brushstrokes, I was expecting something better than this. At least the badge is awesome though, which is all I really wanted from this set.

If only I had the room for more stuff xP

Yeah, it is seriously sloppy painting, but the actual gun itself is pretty deformed anyway, the paint just makes it worse x_X

The badge is all metal though, it was die-cast I guess, it's sweeet!

The gun looks wooden, and like it was over painted, and then painted again.

I almost bought this, but the guy said I couldn't touch it until I bought it. It was "store policy". I think He knew it was sh!t and didn't want to tell me.

P.S. Doc, save your money and buy these:

Yeah, maybe when Fury was battling Doc over who gets to keep the rights to The Punisher he used a permanent marker to cover up all of the scratches!

It was from a guy who got it as a gift and didn't want it anymore, it's not even worth the $75 I think. I mean, it's a cool piece of art, but when you've got Marvel counting on you, you'd better make a fantastic product, not this lumpy resin gun.

Resin mold and it was $140 retail?!

Did you buy it from a "store" or an individual? That is some loss to take if they were $140 retail. The store probably shelled out $75 for wholesale cost.

Nah, it's made of resin, it's just badly made (don't they have molds or machines they can use?) and it comes with a nice black wooden (it's more like laquered plywood) display stand. The badge alone is worth the $25 I paid though so I'm cool. Maybe this will be one of this month's prizes

What's it made out of? Is it plastic? $140 retail! Sheesh!
