Thanks HB

Looks like I'm ordering Colossus now...

I'm sorry if this has been mentioned already; this topic has spanned eons and I confess to not reading every single post. Browsing through Sideshow's site, I noticed that all the preview pics were changed for the Rogue PF statue. Listed below are a pair of images before and the ones currently on the site. It's probably a smart move on Sideshow's part to better reflect the production version rather than the awesome prototype. I'm just curious if Sideshow's done this in the past where they switch prototype pics with production shots when a statue is released?

I'm not if they have done that in the past or not....all I know is that it didn't happen until a ton of Rogue owners (myself included) got the heads in hand and were shocked. They did it to cover their asses--I'm HOPING that my replacement heads look like the original pics.

Funny, I was so focused on the jacked up eyes that I never noticed the hair is also sculpted differently on the Reg head.

It isn't a common practice with Sideshow but it has been done before. I can probably only name one or two off the top of my head. I have about 10-11 Marvel statues and none of them had their prototype pics changed until Rogue.

The jacket was made smaller also.

Jacket looks the same to me and I actually own this piece.

Maybe the belt being lower changes the feeling of the jacket size.

I wonder who would choose the newer pics over the old as their preferred choice.

My thinking is if they're using these pics, the portrait replacements coming in December won't be looking better...

I can't help thinking that way too.

Sometimes I don't think they even look at the pictures. My Ms. Marvel had a hair line fracture that you could barely see in the picture and they sent me a replacement.
