THOR (from Koto to Ribic)

#1 Post by Calvin »

Hello!
This time a full statue customization I did for a very good fellow. Based on the Kotobukiya classic style Thor sculpted by master Eric Sosa and converted into an Esad Ribic style Thor.

This is the Koto statue used for the custom:

These are some references of Esad Ribic art:

and this is the finished custom work:

Honestly, IMO, this is the best Thor I have personally seen; really, really impressive.

Side question, can you share how tall this statue is from head-to-toe? States 1/6, but I have always thought it was smaller than that.

Thanks and great job!!

Thanks! The statue is already on the way so I cannot take any measurement anyway for what I remember it's a big 1/6 scale. Some items as head and hands are a bit, really a bit smaller than expected but mainly for an overall scenic effect I think, just to outline the massive look of the piece. The original sculpture is beautiful and a great starting point for customs as Captain America, the Greeen Lantern or even a Deadpool to name a few.
