The box has an all-over print which looks nice. I ordered the 1/4 EX which comes with poses A & B and two bases. Poses A & B come in two seperate boxes with one base each, the boxes are identical in print and size.

Some of the inner foam packaging, standard soft black foam. There's two tiers, the majority of the pieces are in the top tier and the base and a few other parts are in the bottom tier. Upon pulling the foam packaging out you're greeted by both a numbered authenticity card and an "oil-paint" printed cloth poster. The foam packaging is seemingly identical for both poses A & B. Unfortunately there's no parts layout this time, my phone's camera decided to act up and blur a good chunk of the photos I took and I didn't notice until I started working on photo editing. There's not a whole lot of parts for each figure, and they were relatively straight-forward to put together.

Here's both A & B assembled. The 1/4 Fierce Deity Link clocks in at around 45-46cm in height, he is Fucking Massive™. On top of being massive, the EX base (on the left) is very hefty. Fully assembled, the EX has to weigh at least 20 pounds if I had to make a guess. I honestly fear for the stability of the shelf I have him placed on lmao

Something I didn't get pictures of is how Fierce Deity Link's face and hat seperate, Wake Studio included a mini LED to stick into his head to make his eyes light up; the EX base lights up as well and has a USB plug (also includes a remote to presumably turn the LED function on/off and cycle through light patterns)

My only gripes are: A) Odolwa's ear-rings are painted silver, they sort of blend into the base and I feel painting them blue per the official art and in-game models would've helped them stand out more; B) Wake Studio shortened Fierce Deity quite a bit. He's supposed to be something like 8 feet tall at full size and this 1/4 scale, doing rough math, tops out at 6ish feet at 1/1 scale. I estimate him to be around 1/5.5 instead as a result of my rough mathing of his height. I likely am wrong about exact heights/actual estimated scale (I was never good at math), but Wake Studio did confirm during preproduction Fierce Deity's 1/4 scale is shorter than he should be. They claim he would've been too big and nobody would've bought the 1/4 scale, which I find to be a ridiculous statement.

All that being said though, Wake Studio did a fantastic job on these, though I am kind of wondering if I should have bought the 1/6 scale instead due to the EX base's massive footprint and weight :v

The art box, it just has Riju's figure printed on it. Pretty standard but I do like the close-up sideview and how it overlaps onto the side of the box.

Upon opening the box, I was greeted with fancy-looking envelope, inside is a card with the concept art and final product printed on it.

The foam packaging is pretty standard, soft black foam and also comes in 2 parts.

Here's everything unpacked, lots of tiny pieces. I didn't take photos of the assembly process, I'm currently sick and didn't really want to put a lot of effort into this post. I ended following Wake Studio's assembly video on Facebook, a couple parts of the assembly process are a bit confusing.

A close-up of the certificate card, I got no. 16 out of an edition size of 100 (for the 1/6 scale)
