This is exactly the kind of thing that pisses me off about this company. They show you a prototype, put it up for PO, take people's money in NRDs, and then make cosmetic changes after the fact, that are always for the worst.

I'm glad I didn't PO this.

For you from the PO pictures, was always green. Your pictures have very different lightning and angles. One fast from an video and the other with gallery light.

That is fine, lighting may be the reason for the green looking different. But it certainly doesn't account for the glossy suit color or the (very) obvious change to the whip. And these aren't my pics, they are pics that XM themselves posted on Facebook.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Someone forgot to apply gravity to the whip's wrist strap when altering it. Looks very odd to have it straight out and not hanging anymore.

Yeah, if that is what we are getting I will probably lose my NRD and cancel. Looks very different from the proto. Less jewelry, less substantial whip, thickness and length and looks cheaper for sure. The suit is very glossy now too. UGH

Since I already have it on PO I will wait and see, but this new picture is not giving me any good feelings about it.

They did the same thing to the creature's tongue on Angelus. I'm getting really tired of these changes they keep making after pre-order has gone up. They also altered the jewels on Angelus' horns AFTER the fact.
