Spotted these on Facebook today. Posted 10 days ago.
'First in-hand pics of Kessler Wolf on Facebook (not mine, photo credit Cathy Ramakers).' - Ellen Hoogervorst (10th Sept 2017)





First thoughts:
Upper gums look smaller / Teeth pointing forward. Eyes appear to be darker. Hair looks dark / black.
The head / body join looks more obvious than the prototype. Base looks less gold.
Also, just below the nose, the mouth is straight, not pulled up, like the prototype (like it would be on a dog).
Most of this could be down to photography / lighting, except the gums. Also, is the head less tilted?
Based on these two images, the whole dynamic of the face has altered.

I hope the same factory isn't handling Chun-Li 1/3

The Head/body in that one pic almost looks like slightly different color tones which makes it look even more noticeable with the seam that's visible.

They should have had like some fur tufts on the head piece that goes back further then the seam so it would cover the seam more and blend in better.

The join could have been hidden better for sure. The teeth / gum is a massive issue.
I'm assuming PCS QC gave the factory the thumbs up?

I'm not OCD on statues but the difference between the head and body, in the photos, is massive. Two different colors, with one being matte and one being shiny. It looks like ----. If mine looks like this I will be very unhappy. Three years and it's possible we end up with this? I hope this is a one-off and not what we can expect.

I hadn't noticed that. Now i've seen it, i can't un-see it. The head looks brown, the body looks black.
