Remember these are painted by the in house SS master painters with lots more time involed, and much more attention to details. You can always get it painted by vincete. But expect to pay 2k for the proto quality paint job. The factory workers will never match this quality. Best we can hope for is like the Sonja she devil with a sword which was decent for a factory.

There will be so many people ordering this at first it will have a high ES. Doubly so if they show it at SDCC.

At least then we can get it for a few hundred dollars cheaper aftermarket with saturation. No rush to order. See in hand pics first. The proto paint looks stunning with all the body shades. Now SS hopefully chose the very best factories to paint this.

Recently SS have managed to knock a few out of the park, with only the odd muppet, so if this goes to the right factory they can get to the quality level that this requires...please Mr Harbottle make sure this goes to the right factory

Looks amazing, but I don't trust that the production piece will be as good. She's not a must-have so I can wait for in-hand pics.

Definite Buy for sure!

And the way I see it, if she comes out perfect that's a bonus and if they screw up the skintone on the production one well it's just a good excuse to get it fixed and turn it into an Exclusive

By the way are those domes magnetized

The pasties are distracting. Just needs to be removed lol. I think this is Harbottle’s best work to date. $550 is priced just right. Can’t wait to get her in my collection.

Great looking prototype. Congrats to all involved.
This is without doubt a 'wait-to-see-in-hand-pics' piece.

If Rogue Maquette failed to have dust on her feet, what's the chances of Dejah Thoris's feet and gold areas matching the proto?

From recent statues I've received, including QoS, She Devil and Elektra, also from the photos from other collectors who received great sculpts like Rogue and X-23, we know they can hit the mark more often than not now, so maybe...just maybe we can look forward to another hit.
Or am I just being very hopeful

You don't think it would be distracting if they were removed.
