Gale Force Nine Arkhan The Cruel - Dragonborn (1 Fig) Collector's Series Miniature, Multicolor

Well, this is partly my bad for not completely reading the description. This mini requires assembly (or, at least mine does). My wife says this is done to make them easier to paint.Putting that aside, the Hand is extremely weak. As in, ready to break off right out of the box. Most mini's can have weak parts, such as a weapon, where they bend or flex. This Hand, however, feels like it is simply holding on by a thread. Also, there is a lot of clean up to be done to this figure, especially before building. A few spots of excess plastic to be trimmed, but mainly everywhere this mini is going to fit together at. Overall, it seems that the quality control for this mini is nowhere near on par with the quality control of a preassembled mini.EDIT:Showing this to my wife, I explained that the Hand is very weak and to be very careful with it. At about the same time I said this, she touched the hand and it fell off. It should be easily fixed with some super glue or something of the sort, but probably could have been designed a bit better.

The fragility and brittleness of the hand, as noted by the other buyers here, can’t be overstated. I was lucky enough to have had that piece actually make it to me, so I can hopefully glue it on, but the design of this miniature should have been revisited. Other than the design of the hand, it’s a decent mini.

Not just a hand, THE HAND. The Hand of Vecna was not with this mini, it is now loose in the world, Gods know where up to no amount of trouble I'm sure. I have one handed Dragonborn warrior (nothing wrong with having only one hand mind you, he is handicap-able fore sure).

So I was very excited to paint this mini. But when I received it, I was not too excited. The head of the mini looked like it had melted? Or maybe the molding process hadn't set completely when it was packaged? Either way it is very deformed. He looks like he has a birds beak.

This mini is highly detailed and looks great. Some assembly required but came in very good packaging.

The miniture itself suffers from the material its made from. I wish gf9 would change their plastic. It is very brittle and it doesn't stand straight. Other then that the mold is awesome and putting Arkha's hand on the floor was cool.

I don't mind having to assemble miniatures, as it's pretty common. I do mind when the material is so weak that it takes little to no stress to break it. I can't even get this stuff to bond with super glue. Expected better quality coming from GF9.

Great item just what I was looking for.

I really like the model. It has great features and a dynamic pose.Biggest con is the assembly, which can be tedious if you're not used to working with resin on the sprue casting. Was not the most easy to identify where to cut, especially at the head and the axe. But if you can get past that, it is a very nice model.
