I’m sorry to see that you received a sractched one Frobay, bur seriously a 1000$ bust at best?
I am so sorry for you because I know what do you feel when you open the box after months waiting and you find this...
Also I won’t justify this prize that I find insane too but looking at prizes of new figures nowadays makes me disagree on your opinion and think that you are influenced from what you found inside the box: a damaged piece.
A few months ago I received a piece from chronicles, scractched and bad painted, it was not just like they shot it with a spray paint can...you could see dots and marks from a brush! And the most important thing...Scratches on it and very different from the proto shown...I paid aprox 700€! And it wasn’t a 1:1...I returned this of course...(I gave it a chance first, my local seller has a second unopened box and I ask for a replacement (I would love to keep that piece), we oponed together and it has a broke tooth! Inacceptable!).
This is one case but how much does it cost the lsb wolf predator from sideshow? How was the paintjob compared from the proto?
I agree with you that these things are overprized and new pieces are becoming more and more expensive. Quality doen’t increase the same. How much costed the warrior bust from sideshow when it first appeared? No more pieces like this, with that paintjob or that quality at that prize...
This bust from coolprops is pretty the same as the proto. We all know about that black paintjob before buying it. In that point I think we can’t say that coolprops has downgraded this piece. Also it has a beautiful chomed teeth (I still have nightmares with the lsb big chap ones from ss), it has a perfect sculpt, perfect size...this bust would cost 1200-1300 usd without giger’s license of course but because of this license they increased the prize 300-400$...
What we can’t accept is that they send damaged pieces without inspecting them before!!
Very bad coolprops because how many do you have to inspect? 500? Don’t put a damaged piece inside the box because there are too many efforts, hype and high expectations from the other side...that means, from the one who open the box! Things like this makes you dislike a beautiful piece, and lose the faith in a company. I know it because I was in the same situarion a few months ago...
Hope it is an exception and so sorry again for you frobay! Will you give it a chance at least and try to get a new one mint?
