Looks nice as far I can tell from those pics. Going for the regular though.

Looks pretty good to me. The only thing I feared was the elbow not leaning on the throne which they did not fix it seems...hope he just didnt fit him properly but I doubt it...

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Yeah didn't notice the hand in the background. In box it just looked smaller.

Wow you're right even the prototype has it that way.
Is there a reason it should be like that?
I doubt it. They will get so many QC emails about this since people bought on pictures and only one seems to clearly show it. Really an oversight that is kind of a big deal.

Wow a quarter of a million in sales at $500 a piece and they couldn't be bothered to reprint either Kratos or the chair?

The regular doesn't seem to have the problem. Unbelievable.

I'm withholding judgement. Something looks off. In this pic, you can actually see a little depression in the throne arm that looks like where the elbow should rest. Or am I seeing things?

You're totally right but the problem as Taz pointed out is that the prototype is the EXACT same way even with the depression in the throne arm.
Right there in their promo pictures but I never noticed and can't find anywhere it's been discussed in this thread other than Taz's post.

I just don't get it. I mean I know it shouldn't be a big deal and it's not... but it is.

Just ridiculous to the point I may cancel the statue if it indeed hasn't been corrected.
It just shows a total lack of care. I mean if something happened along the way that would be one thing but for the prototype to be like that it makes me feel as though GamingHeads sees it's customers as suckers at $500 a pop. If this were an isolated QC issue there is no way ANYONE would keep this statue at this price.

I mean the whole point of the statue is he's resting his head on his hand supported by his elbow on the chair arm.



But the Regular is not like that.
