Well, it literally does make a difference in his appearance since there is a clear smooth line on his arm right above the band. His deltoid abruptly stops. They screwed up, no two ways about it. And with the rising costs of these things I expect the quality and sculpt promised. This guy was about $760 shipped! That's a whole lot of money.

He's an amazing piece, and otherwise seemingly flawless. But it's a mark against him.

It's all personal preference but I like warm, it goes best with the dark Besta.

Keep in mind that all your lights should match.

Geez, give this guy the "most extremely picky collector of the year" award. The annual StatueForum awards should make it a category. Trying to make noise out of nothing.

Why dont you measure it while youre at it. lmao! I literally have to touch my nose on his bicep to see it. How much more ridiculousness can a person get?

$h!t is gonna be raw. Can't wait for mine. Next week baby!

Anyone able to take a pic of him next to XM Thanos (I know Marvel) and or do a trick shot with Bane next to the new Lex Luthor PF?

The armband is silly. He came out great.

I'm pointing out a flaw in the design. That's all. Facts are facts.

Guess you missed the parts where I said he's amazing piece regardless, and that the EX head shocked me in hand. It has become my favorite of the two.

But I'll gladly take any award you give me.

I didn't notice any flaws in mine.

Maybe that doesn't make me anal retentive? I don't know.

I get what gorocketcat is saying... The Delts do stop and it looks like filler was put in..

However that just goes to show the greatness of this piece.. I believe on a lesser statue people would complain and add it onto a list of complaints... But since this piece looks to be perfect in every other way then it's easy to look over.

Do you guys think the regular is worth picking up still? That EX sculpt just looks so much more menacing and badass in my opinion. Beyond torn on what to do lol. I would love to add him to the collection, just bummed I thought I was done collecting statues and passed.
