Look at how they attached and 'worked in' the lower jaw!!!Just plain awful.

Oh man, that's truly awful. I would ask for at least a partial refund if i were you, where did you ordered it?

Seams aren't exactly great on mine either, but not even remotely as sloppy and invasive and the texture on them is completely different.. what's that sample's number?

I ordered it from my LCS.This is going straight back from where it came and I don't want another specimen.This is a 1000 EURO bust here in the EU and completely not worth it.Now that I've seen the low quality in hand,paintjob and all,I'm done with CC.First the massively plagued breakout rex,now this.I gave it another try thinking CC would have learned from their misstakes,but no...oh well.
Doesn't bode well for future products me thinks.


this is n° 253/300 (if I'm reading it correctly cause the 5 doesn't really look like a 5,lol)

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Sorry to see the dud, Phil the Sixth. Doesn't look anything like mine either.

These can really have wide variations in quality, not sure why the factory allows QC people who work there to ok some of these for shipping. Chronicle will make it right, just contact them.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Sorry to hear about the problems you've experienced with this piece. I thought CC stated they will be diligent about their QC and will not allow the same ruckus that plagued the breakout rex release. Oh well, I will not be buying any products made by CC moving forward. Their QC is too inconsistent to warrant the over inflated prices they're asking.

If I were Paul I’d see if I could strike a deal with Prime 1 to use their factories, whoever they are using are way too inconsistent

With the avalanche of P1 stuff coming out, they probably can't keep up with their own pieces.

Yeah good point, they need to do something though, with all the choice we have these days I’m finding less reasons to go with CC , I love some of their stuff but I’ve got no confidence they’ll get the paint right unfortunately
