It is always a shame to see them. Even Prime 1 aren't above visible seems sadly. In my opinion they should never be present on a high end collectible. One of the first things you learn building models is how to hide seams, you would make the effort for a $5 model airplane and it's worth it. On a $500+ statue it shouldn't even be a consideration. I'd rather have no swap outs than visible seams generally, so a statue with no switch out parts has no excuse.

Not crazy about that photo. The Rancor looks too "Dry". In the film it has a slightly glossy look to it.
I think the paint apps are too light as well. Colour should be more saturated.
Who knows. Maybe it's just horrible lighting.

Is this from the movie? I had no idea it had so many dark tones.

It's one of the models used in the film. They also used a person in a Rancor suit as well as a puppet.

It definitely has a plastic look to it...like you can move the arms and head.

I agree with Gary. The paint does not look great. I asked about it online and the response I got was essentially "bright lights" skewed what it really looks like.
we will see...
