My red came perfect but my black frowny face head where they etched the lines in the helmet look like they messed up and painted over it twice with black to hide it. My biggest gripe with these pieces, why no light up in the Z-Saber!? It would have greatly benefitted from it.
Also Dead do you have the HMO Morrigan or any of their DmC pieces? I've noticed little blemishes here and there on their products. My X has a couple. I get them all the time on F4F pieces, not big enough to bother me but I never hear anyone complain about their Morrigan. Just wondering if I'm unlucky.

I don't have any other HMO pieces, this is my first HMO piece. I wanted to see for myself how this stacked up, as i say in my video most video reviews i found of this or other HMO pieces it's the same reviewers who obviously got the pieces sent for free to review so everything is a glowing review and usually they have no idea of the character or series...but thats a whole other thing.
As for my niggles (for those who don't watch the video) -
The hair/headswitch. I understand why they did it but it renders the switch out head useless imo, you make your choice and you stick to it because there is no way you're ever going to switch it out like other statues.
The battle damage. It's OK, i would have preferred a clean look, i don't really understand the need for it, it looks more like paint chips.
Base. I think it's incredibly heavy for no reason, a bit of weight is nice for stability but this just weighs a ton. I wish the clear plastic piece was removable like X.
Z Saber. This should have been a light up, the whole statue has electronics running through it and the Z Saber arm is permanently attached....why didn't they make it light up? Losing the lights in the legs sucked too. Also would have liked to have seen an alternate smoother effect part.
Chest piece/removable armour. The armour removing gimmick isn't as good as X, it pretty useless here imo. The chest piece should have had the green pieces embedded int he chest and lit up like the proto.
Like i say i think it's a very nice piece, i think what we saw with the proto was better.
