I don't think P1 will miss my $, and I'm not suggesting this isn't a great looking statue - because it is, even with the compromises.......it's just, well, times are hard right now, and I have to be selective where I spend my $$. A few years ago I might have bought this, just because......but, unfortunately, not anymore

I'm there with you being selective with the money and think you have the right idea going for the pieces you like and not settling. But sometimes that fear of missing out can get the best of you and there are several pieces I have missed out on and I don't like buying in the aftermarket.
The reality is I just can't buy things I think are cool anymore and continuously passing up stuff but always on the edge. Sometimes just seeing it in other collections is enough and it would be great if there was actually a statue museum housing this stuff.

I often wonder why companies like Sideshow, XM, etc. don't use real human models for portraits. Sometimes we can see hints, or features from "famous" people.....but I believe this is just us seeing what we want to see, rather than a specific design aspect.
In most cases, the portraits are (IMHO) generically generated, and lack that spark that you get from a real human face. Sure, its probably cheaper to use a generic two eyes, nose, mouth approach vs paying a real person to pose.....but, I think it would really help these pieces to get to the next level.....oh, and obviously improve the paint apps
