Don't know now,if the #330 is a production piece,why it does it look better than the costumers are receiving ? Shouldn't be all the same or at least very close ? Paint job on these 2 are different.

I have this on order,that's why I'm a pain, but the lighting effect doesn't change the black spots and shading.

That is 2 very different photo setups....one said with a smartphone the other....knows what they are doing. That why I haven't posted early shots in many years...no idea what I'm doing with a camera...could be the best looking piece and still look like ---- on screen....I see a lot of shades washed out in those pics....why would one be yellow and the other brown? Definitely holding judgement until I have it in hands.....this happens way too often with new pieces I don't care what company....even the great and mighty xm and prime 1 has their fair share of ugly early pics.

It's not just that, Alex. I understand you guys did what you could to make the piece as good as possible. However, it's pretty obvious that the paint detailing in the top pic were applied with airbrush(with care) and the one below was applied by paint brush(hard sharp edges, simulate airbrush look can be achieved with paint brush but definitely not here). Factories will never match the proto, absolutely. But the right tool(airbrush) was not used on THIS piece, which took away A LOT away of how the piece should look and hard works you guys went into to get this thing created.
Trust me, I'm very aware that these things don't show well via cell phone pics but it's just a fact that the tools and directions on how they were painted are inconsistent, production piece or not.
I have two ordered and both will be fully repainted either way(one color, one faux bronze). Some of us here are seasoned collectors and knows how to paint and sculpt as well but saying it's only camera and lighting is really surprising to me...

Totally agree. BUT... We are being told that both are production pieces randomly pulled from the pile.
I can't see it myself. One looks way better.
Still like the inhand piece, just not close to what was shown as 'what you will receive'.

The 1st picture is from a production run,not a prototype.
