Are these pictures accurate to what it looks like in person?

The blood application is lousy. But I can live with the rest of it. Pretty much what I expected to receive for $400.

I'm just glad this wasn't more expensive. Still waiting on my shipping notice. Walking away from PCS after this one's in-hand.

What I expected , this needs a darker wash on the sculpted hair some shading on face and can improve greatly , not enough upper gums as expected so I am hoping they can be popped off and reset . Missed fed ex yesterday so I'm hoping I won't miss it today .

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Not a fan of the blood application but yeah for $400.00 this is what is to be expected. Whether that's bad or good that's up to collectors.

One of the reason why I'm against these discounts. Things are changed frequently some bad some doable. But product suffers from being almost direct to proto as the old pcs used to be.

There was a little bag with a dozen or so kernels. They seemed a little flat but looks like popcorn, maybe flattish because they were stepped on on the stairs.. They have a top and bottom. so my thinking is to use just a tiny spot of silicon and set them in place so they aren't likely to get lost.

Overall I enjoy the piece greatly, I've been in this game far too long to expect mass produced products to live up to the prototypes and artists proofs.

I just wish they had a way to display the extra head. Have to come up with something.

The lighting was from a incandescent bulbs and some monitor light, I think so.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Wow.

If that's a production piece then I'm REALLY pleased I cancelled.

THIS after the Sideshow Wolf Predator LSB fiasco last week would have put me off collecting for quite a while.

As always pictures are appreciated, thanks for posting.

Before arrival I really expected this one to be problem free and pleasing to most customers since it was pretty basic.

I will have mine next week or so and I can tell you I have never been less excited to receive a piece after looking at the first in hand pictures.
Looking at this is extremely disappointing for me as it was one of my most anticipated pieces ever!The problem is there is nothing else out there in a decent size.It's a very nice detailed sculpt but the production piece is so underwhelming.

This looks to be different in every pic I've seen, PCS put a teaser video up and it looked different again.....this like the POTA Caesar is gonna be a piece where lighting plays a big part....

Mine shipped yesterday so I'll make a judgment in hand like always, can't wait to play with lighting and get some pics of this guy though.
