Where did you order yours from? Weta directly or somewhere else?

It shows 80 euros for me, which is ok for me, since the huge shipping costs last months. And I expect this to be a huge box (2 boxes?). It's so much bigger than the previous TR statue.

There are new pictures. But Mod on facebook already closed the comments list, bcs of first couple reactions that it is too far of the prototype.

Production vs master:




Production:
those liver-spots on the left arm are really out of place against rest of the statue..

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I'm assuming those 'liver spots' are supposed to be dirt, but it doesn't look right. I get that Lara should probably be muddy and dusty, but her shirt looks too clean by comparison.

Any context on which is which? I can't tell in the photo of the heads together. Neither of them look like the proto to me.

The overview the prototype is the left one (biggest difference I see are the scratches, that look different). The one with heads is the prototype the one without body. Seems to have more nuance in the hair colors than the production piece.

My goodness!!! WETA approved this with their manufacturer? The sculpt looks squished, the paint job is so poorly done as compared to the prototype on the left. $1500 piece huh.. for this kind of quality..
