Agreed. That's why I'm just pretending it didn't happen. Sideshow did not intend for it to be released that way so I am not going to sit here and critique.

This reminds me of a time years ago my friend got a bootleg leak of Wolverine - before the SFX were input. He hated the movie and criticized how badly it looked because there were times "you could see the strings and you could tell he should have had claws but they weren't there."

Moral of the story if you can't get an unfinished product/reveal and criticize that. It's unfair to the company and everyone who worked hard on this project.

And the finished product is ALWAYS better than whatever leaked crap ends up online.

Its a wait and see for the full reveal for sure. That chair/throne does seem too small for him, but Wednesday should give a better idea how he looks. This incomplete badly angled picture doesn't show the full story.

Your friend was right and it was a terrible movie.

the way these companies work is the opposite of what they did with that movie. they post a lighted up picture of a prototype and dumb it down for mass production. That's like showing the trailer to your movie with all the FX in it then pulling it down to a pre-CG screening in theatres.

I have zero point zero hard feelings.

I don't think it's like that at all. Trailers have all the bells and whistles in anticipation of the final movie which has all the bells and whistles.

You must have at least zero point one hard feelings otherwise you are not living up to your name. Or where you live! C'mon we're just supposed to say "soory" and move along.

I don't care about the grainy pic, but can somebody help me understand why the idea is that this statue comes with THREE portraits?

The grinning on is on the statue (which we hadn't seen before), and the other is on the table (which we saw in the exclusive video).

So where is the magic #3 coming from? Or is it a HOPE of a third portrait that is facing forward that is generating this number?
