Just scored this early garage kit.

Here is what it came with.
Obviously this has already been worked on. Which is how I got it soooo cheap.
The sword is going to need fixing, and the paint needs to be stripped for sure.

This will give you some idea of the size of this kit. The figure without sword stands about 5.25 inches.

A closer look at the base. Very simple but elegant at the same time. I think it is perfect for this kit.

And a look at the sword.
At first I thought about repairing it, but as you can see, it is very badly warped also.
So I plan on replacing it.

The likeness isn't very good. But at this size, it's not really that big a deal for me.

Well, I got about as much paint off, as is going to come off.
The rest seems to be stained into the resin.
Red and black, are always the worst two colors to strip.
For some reason, a few other areas turned purple-ish after coming out of the stripper also.
Hope it doesn't cause an issue when I go to paint it.
