Another Sideshow fiasco.
I am really pissed, I was expecting a lot from that EX head. The paint job is atrocious. Had I known, i wouldn't have ordered the EX and just picked the regular form a local shop.
Lesson learned and another good reason to stop buying from them
Prime 1, XM and iron Studios are so much better than Sideshow today that's it's not even funny. Hopefully they lose the license and one of the good ones picks it up.

unboxed mine and what you see is what you get, if you liked or even didn't mind the prototype youll probably be fine with this
the ex portrait is atrocious though, it looks much worse than the prototype - easily the worst thing ive ever received from SS. the light up eyes look ridiculous and cheap, just like I knew they would... instead of his pupils glowing yellow the entire eyes glow a greenish yellow and ironically look like something youd see on a action figure from the 80's. there is a very noticeable hair seam all around the head and the sideburns are separate pieces attached after it was painted (the reg only has the sideburn seams). I have no idea whats going on with those eyebrows, theyre all over the place. The lack of lips and soft jaw line look even more bizarre in person, im very surprised the same company that put out skeletor made this
overall the paint is clean but nothing special, pretty bland on the base
the sword of omens looks cool though
a little pissed about the ex as that was the head I was going to use for my custom but now im just going to use the reg. the ex feels like plastic and might melt if I try stripping the paint with acetone
bottom line if you like the piece try to get a deal on a reg, if you don't at least get mumm-ra he is awesome as long as you have somewhere to display him at 1/5 scale

Look at it from a mile away for it to be okay? Whoah. That bad, huh? Hope Cheetara would be better.

I agree. From a distance it probably looks better, but that EX head is terrible, especially with the wrong color light up eyes. They should have made his chest emblem and the sword of omens light up too.

The exclusive head looks pretty bad.
It almost looks like it was painted by a totally different factory.

Actually looks like a kindergarten paint project.

I'm still going to PO Cheetara but this head is disturbing. Mumm-Ra is so awesome. I defended the Lion-O design.....derp. Hope Cheetara comes out great. They have a good track record with female statues.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
