Both answers based on originally released pics.

I think the COH will have open and closed mandibles that switch out at the mouth. The artist's profile video showed the closed mandibles sculpted separately from the head.

Alexa Woods next please

I imagine that was just for construction purposes, the bio was probably sculpted over a simplified unmasked head minus the mandibles etc. Switch out mandibles would likely leave an ugly seam unless they have been very clever with the engineering. But I may be wrong of course.

Other then that misplaced armour on the right thigh, the piece looks pretty good.

That netting bothers me so much,makes it look like a neca figure. Hopefully that gets fixed along with the leg armor on this otherwise perfect piece

Sounds simple when you say it in your head. However, if it is anything like the P2 maquette, each separate piece will have a huge peg inserted into a cut out on the body. The materiel used is also very brittle. I attempted to move a few bits (including the chest armour) on mine which resulted in each piece snapping off with little effort. Long story short, if the leg armour stays in that position on the production pieces, you will not be moving it.

As complaints go, it has nothing on the P2 maquette, clearly Sideshow listened and learned and produced something very good here. They may even alter that bit if we're lucky, probably an over site that nobody picked up on until it was revealed to us picky masses. I came to like the P2 maquette tbh, but I wish it looked as good as this.

Thanks for the insight, Python. Hopefully Sideshow will take the necessary steps to make sure the problem is fixed on the production run. It's too glaring of an issue to just ignore.

I'd rather have real netting that painted on netting. Painting it leaves too much room for sloppy work from the factory.

Can we get some more pics up in this here joint?

Agreed. The painted on netting on the 1/5ths left a lot to be desired. I just can't believe that this is the best option as far as the diamond size goes
