I'd agree Voltron is a brilliant sculpt, but other parts not so brilliant. Heres some comparison shots- Im a complete novice and could have made battle damage better than this. imo the switch to silver paint over the reflective chrome paintup is what contributed most to the plastickyness as you can see in the comparison thigh shots. lol sorry for the robot porn. The battle damage on the feet is just weird, like an 8 year old was drawing eylashes and eyebrows and wrinkle marks. Easily avoidable crap that shouldnt be on a $1200 piece is whats so frustrating.

 that battle damage paint app is horrendous. Cant believe they would approve that. It doesn't even look remotely close to the paint master prototype.

Battle damage and subtle weathering has never been a strong point of the factories these things are made in sadly. Sidehsow are not alone in that area.

Its just a cop out. There are companies out there now that are actually reproducing their prototypes- and they have nowhere near the resources of SS. Selling what you have no possibility or intention of reproducing is just dishonest. Its not like they thought they could and then tried and failed- they didnt even try or had no intention of trying to begin with. Why would you show a prototype at a show with mirror chrome finish (a 3 step process), and then just paint it gunmetal for the masses? It was shown at con with no intention of ever being delivered- which also breaks the disclaimer which says the final product "may" be the same when it absolutely wont.
My first Sideshow pieces were from the JSC collection and came out spot on. I couldnt even comprehend back then that a company would release a product so different. Not gonna stray from the JSC collection any more.

We're all preaching to our own choir here (nice when we all agree for a change) 
In case there's some of you that haven't seen what's going on with the "currently shipping" Sideshow 1:2 scale Wolf Predator Legendary Scale Bust (LSB) - these are the combined stats on pre-orders from here and Sideshow Freaks.

I don't know if I see a $1200 statue. Maybe $700. Glad I'd passed on this.

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

You are most generous. As I've stated in the past I'm quite lucky to view most ss pieces in person once released. I saw this about a week ago and I snapped 3 pics to show my friend. The focus of it was the plastic looking leg more or less what @friendly samurai stated. I was shocked to say the least I don't know why though. $350 the most I'd do that's me being generous. This just looks like a toy.
