Ok, now that I am back home, I will add more to my previous post.
So, IS displayed their awesome items not at Sideshow's booth. They have a very small booth, near the Warner Bros big a*s booth, but pretty far from Sideshow's.
The first time I go to their booth, nobody was there. Like, literally just the displayed items and nobody there. I feel like I wanna just grab WW and run as fast as I can but I don't wanna get in prison in a place far away from home.
Anyways, the second time I get there, which is the next day (or the day after the next day, i forgot), there's a Chinese guy sitting at the booth. His English is not very good so he's using a translator tool. Which works perfectly. My English is also bad, but the machine captured my points clearly.
Unfortunately he can not explain much and answered my question clearly. But thankfully, two of his friends then came, and I assume they have better ranks in the studio, so they understand better, and pretty intimidating, the way they talk to me (gettin real close, and cornered me hahaha). You can see them in the pics (I'm the guy with the hat).
The conversations is about the WW bust mostly, and previews of their unannounced upcoming products, basically what I have wrote in my previous post. They assured me that they are using the best materials for the silicone, and if taken care properly, can last more than 20 years. When I asked can it last for 30 years, they say it can, again, if taken care properly. and after 20 years there might be cracks, but they will include glue (if I'm not mistaken) and instructions on how to repair the cracks. When I ask about the color, or if the cracks will leave marks, they don't really give clear answer, and they say it depends on where the crack is, and how you glued it.
I also ask about the black object where WW's left hand rested, is that to help her balance? is she unbalanced? and they said it's just on the prototype, and that they are perfecting it so it will be perfectly balanced in the final product.
Now, I don't know if we can trust their words, but and within 20 years company come and goes. There's no insurance that their company will still be there in 10 years after the bust is released, and what if the bust got degraded/damaged in only 15 years? basically there's no insurance for that as well, but I guess those who purchased will just have to trust them.
Finally, my honest opinion, I saw the bust in person. I see all the details with my own eyes, from extreme close up, and what a fantastic piece it is. It's truly a wonderful, amazing piece, and if they can deliver the actual product as good as the proto, or even better, and if it can last for 40 years, then this is truly a masterpiece. Just really damn good.
