I have to change my cc as well. I emailed them and they said something about reordering and using new cc but was concerned about losing my spot

It doesn't cancel your Kratos order... it just shows up as a second pending CC change order.

I was more afraid of losing my PO if they tried to charge a CC that no longer exists

Isn't that the truth? lol

I never ordered this in the end but I think judging by the pics it didn't turn out TOO bad paint wise, especially considering the price

Yes it's absolutely possible.......for a price! here's a couple of ecc pieces from my collection, so both production paint jobs.

Those are 1:1 busts - you cant compare that with 1/4 scale.

I'm actually not sure what we are comparing to Kratos with that one? He's pretty glossy...

There is still a big amount of difference between 1:4 and 1:3. Just look at PCS Mortal kombat ninja statues. Even just the protos. Same company, same characters but the 1:3 scale allows for so much more expression in the sculpt and paint apps.
