Wowww! Just saw the unboxing. The paint apps/teeth look phenomenal for a production piece and the size is really really fitting (THICC BOI). No chance in cancelling him because of a Chinese delay. This piece is too damn good. I know we all like to complain about the prices these days but seriously the paint app on this piece blows away the old SS paint. It's prototype-esque.

Now do me a favor and ship the goddamn thing already.

It's pretty clear its intentional as its in the prototype pictures. Its old grimy dirty snow.

Watched video again. Man, the paint job on the leather is some of the best I've seen by any company. Hope it looks that good on mine.

Behold, masterbeast!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, what a sculpt. The detailing, anatomy, movement, balance, portraits, gesture, and ultimately that "down and dirty" Sabretooth vibe, are all masterfully executed. But now, with these fabulous paint apps, the sculpt has risen to another level.

The skin tones are some of the best I've seen, the costume and shading are beautifully subtle, blending/transitioning perfectly. Even the yellow snow has merit, as I live in snow country, and when you gotta go, you go. But seriously, a work that truly is close to proto quality. if I had a small complaint, it would be the too uniform colouring of his mane. Would prefer some subtle tonal depths, to bring out the fur effect. Of course, these perceptions could change once in hand, but I figure only for the better, blowing us away.

Still, a masterpiece of a sculpt, sculpted by a master. Thank you Martin Canale & SS, & keep this level of quality coming.

Both portraits look fantastic and are painted super well especially the teeth. I was worried when we got that bad quality video from Facebook and it looked like the teeth were sloppily painted. With this unboxing and the 4K 360 videos this is not the case. This is a grail for me.

Lol. Divo and I were in love with this piece from the very beginning.
