With every P1 piece I've ever ordered, the first production pics are always from collectors. To the best of my memory, I've never seen P1 release official production photos.

It'd be awesome if this releases by end of year, here's hoping!

For such a hyped piece, prime 1 should do the right thing and show us an unboxing video before release.

They do show them occasionally, but only on their Facebook group. I'm not sure if this technically counts as being official or not? But by all accounts that group is now run by Prime 1 themselves. Not every statue gets teased, but I really hope this one is.

P1 usually post ''Out of the box'' unboxing videos on their facebook page after a statue has shipped out......

yea, I'm hoping for a few factory photos on this one. At least some shots of the head paint apps would be appreciated. That will be very telling what we end up getting. On that note, they did trick us with so called production 1/3 Joker bust pics.

I don't know that I'd want that... those factory pics usually look terrible... like they were taken with a secret pen camera and smuggled out of there in some sort of corporate espionage attempt LOL. That might be a huge mistake to make with this piece.

While I agree about the questionable quality of some of the images. They are generally posted by the mods on the FB group, so they are at least officially sanctioned. If P1 were wise, they would have a designated photographer taking decent pictures in the factories. We've all seen what happens when some randomer receives a statue early and takes a picture on a potato. Official production line images right before they are packed up would stop a lot of that fallout and drum up interest again so it's win win.... Unless said production piece isn't very good of course in which case the world would find out the hard way eventually anyway.

Yep, totally agree.
