Reason why I am not a big fan of this ST (even though it is a phenomenal sculpt) is because its basically a creature of vines. This is why I much prefer Prime 1 version because it is more varied. More like a Swamp.

Okay I have to ask this, Loric and hell anyone else on this forum, Have any of you actually seen a swamp? It's just my curiosity.

For the sake of playing the devil's advocate, Takashi Murakami has released work in vinyl for consumer purchase and he is a "high art" artist.

Since Sideshow hasn't responded to our concerns, I contacted the sculptor directly. I asked him if he was concerned about Sideshow's decision to reproduce the piece with vinyl as opposed to other materials. He responded, and I asked if I could share his response with other collectors. Here's what he said...
I have to say that the company that's handling the vinyl production in Japan does exceptionally sharp work. The company is called Acro, and have made some fine products from work I've sculpted for them. To be honest, I was surprised that Sideshow had decided to take this direction, but when I was told it was Acro handling the production, I felt more at ease. I'm curious to see the results myself.

Thanks for this. Seems he's surprised too, I'll try not to judge but it's hard seeing how the Wolf bust turned out.
