I'm sure some folks won't mind the color choices though so congrats if you like it.

I couldn’t agree more on the color choices, it’s far too busy of a piece. The over use of the bronze color is what really sets me off. When the armor was in the tradition of a samurai as in the shogun it worked. This piece however is a jumbled mess of color and they also went overboard on adding armor detail for the sake of more elements. They need to learn that more does not equal better.

It looks fine. They’ll sell everyone of the ES, and XM will keep doing what they do. And, they’ll continue to get my money by producing amazing products such as this.

I think that some of you and I totally understand what you mean, who note a wide variety of colors, react after the publication of the last pictures of this collector who tends to saturate them all. Don't take it wrong, these are beautiful high definition photos that sublimate every detail, but clearly this is not what you have in front of you with normal lighting and at a glance.

Batman Shogun had the same problem: the statue is one of the most beautiful statues ever made, but each picture was different. Sometimes very bronze, other times not. We wondered what was its true color we were going to get. Once in hand, it was a perfection.

Look at the comparison :



Again, beautiful pictures by this collector. It always a pleasure to watch.

Yeah those pictures certainly "pop" when you look at them but like you're saying, that's not how the statue is going to look in real life. The colors are obviously there, but you're just not going to see it in the same exaggerated way because that's the effect the camera is adding.

Can anyone clarify the lighting on the signal and if it's 2 colors or 3? I watched a video and it almost looked to me like there's a yellow, blue, and white setting on the light but that could've just been the way it was coming through on the video.

Two quick pictures from me. Keep in mind that there is a filter and that these are not the real colors. I put some with other switch-outs on my insta.

Anyone else out there having any issues with the white light? I can't seem to get it to turn on. Yellow does, but even then it takes multiple times to get it to work.
