If in hand it looks like this i'll probably buy it.

I have these screenshots as well..... printed and pasted in my desk. hahahaha.. Such as beauty. Her eyes is just mesmerizing.

The latest "rumor" I heard on this piece breaking at NYCC was that they had it all set up before the show and then the next morning when they arrived it was found broken. So allegedly something happened over night.

Again, pass. Too bad though....

My theory in all this, is that perhaps being a nycc demo piece, there might not have been any engineered reinforcement. If it only has to survive a weekend or two on display they might not have bothered to put in any steel rods, especially if they haven’t worked out the actual engineering yet.

I just don't think people understand this. Prototypes are made to convey a look. They aren't designed with manufacturing processes/rigors involved. A prototype breaking really means nothing about a final production piece. I was told at SDCC that the engineering of this piece has not yet been determined.

I respectfully disagree. A prototype should be what a customer should 'expect' to get. Look, build, quality, design. Again expect. Of course changes occur during the development cycle. So based on the prototyping we have seen and heard about, you can expect:

We know what it looks like.
We know the design.
We are not clear on the details of the build. Metal rod, etc.
We are not clear on the quality. It broke on display.

Of course expectations are not a guarantee and so we are all free to spend that money and NRD as freely as we see and pee and do-re-mi.

If you are just looking to convey a look, that is called a concept, not a prototype. Thanks for reading!

I didn't even need to read the rest. Nope, unfortunately, that is not how it works, outside of looks

That’s not a good sign. That should have already been done before this piece even went up for PO.

Edited: just reread it and you said SDCC. I was thinking NYCC.

I dunno. One would think you make your proto sturdy enough for transport and display so things like this don’t happen.

They’re already dealing with a finicky community, this didn’t help.

I agree.
