Looks like the fangs on the production piece are just triangles painted on the lips. They looked like they actually had substance on the proto.

It's the famous SSC make up: the black comma.

Well, this is Dynamite, but they also don't have a great track record, for me, at least, so I guess I shouldn't be terribly surprised.

Looks like there is fitment concerns, sloppy and flat paint job, and what looks to some distortion. I have the Red Reign on order. Dynamite need to get the factory in shape or find a new factory. These Dynamite statues don’t seem to get better.

In fairness, that is one thing that did NOT change from the solicitation pics

I haven’t returned anything to Sideshow before, but this might be the first. The production bust is very distorted from these in hand oics. The fangs looks to be missing and she looks like she has white triangles on her lips.

Sideshow is processing my order for the red reign version. I’ll share the photos when I get it.

Red Reign in hand. Very underwhelming. Head looks distorted or possible just bad paint job. Sloppy paint apps. Eye shadow is red instead of purple. Horizontal mark across breasts. Bad paint touch-ups. This is going back. Dynamite should give me the $35 I am going to lose returning this abomination to Sideshow. And what's with the "Red" variant? Double dipping cash grab after selling a "limited" edition of the "Red Reign"? Only the second time I have ever returned something to Sideshow in about 12 years.

In hand photo of "Red Reign".



"Red Reign" Prototype.



New "Red" Variant. What's the difference?
