Considering for same price you can get a 1/4 statue from other companies

Considering all the negative vibes dying down not long after the first pics came to light, I'd say it gets a passing grade. But I don't hang out at every corner of the net, but I also do hang out here and members are very good about spreading word of a statue bust with what I've seen over the last few years, sooo...
It costs the same more or less as 1/4 statues sure, but the thing is as heavy and big as any of my 1/4s. It's a t-rex....1/20 is the same size and weight as 1/4 characters by my judgment so it's priced right.
The paint app will never be what the proto is but it's a reminder that even China's best factories aren't going to compete with an individual determined to create perfection.
Once you get over the fact that you won't own a prototype of your own, I imagine it's an easy purchase. Not everyone will get over it, though. People work hard for what they have. I don't blame anyone for backing out on their rex purchase. But I think they need to take the time to consider why this did not match the proto and I am certain once they do they will realize this here is worth $500 while proto level paint apps would cost much more. But they rather just scream false advertising like it's not the standard for collectible companies to use a prototype to sell product that has not been produced yet so oh well...
