Posted the positive yesterday of what I love about the statue.
As far as the negative, its the long haired version.
It is vastly inferior to the short haired sculpt.
I'm kinda surprised that most of the attention has been on the kinetic charge cards, which I feel is a non issue at all. I think it looks great in hand.
Before I bought this, one of the videos I like is Sisko's video talking about the long haired version.
One of the reason I love XM version's Gambit is it kinda reminds me of Joe Madureira's Gambit with the long hair.
So I was 100% sure I was gonna display it with this sculpt.
After getting the statue, The Long haired version's face looks off.
Also, it has these bumps on the chin. The short haired version doesnt have this.
Long haired sculpt with bumps on his chin
As you can see on the short haired sculpt, the chin doesnt have those bumps.
I thought at first I had a defective one, until I started watching other review videos, and I see that they are present in there as well.
I almost wished they would have just got lazy and used the same sculpt and just have one with short hair, and one with long hair.
So for me personally, I feel like the statue only has 1 sculpt. I tried several times switching heads, hoping the long haired version would just grow on me and and it just feels like I'm not doing justice to the statue by putting an inferior head.
With Sideshow's Gambit head, they are both equally as good, and you just have an option on using which head you prefer.
On other statues, a clean or battle damaged version.
For me personally, it’s just not an option cause the short haired head is just vastly superior to the long haired version.
The silver lining is that I do absolutely LOVE...Really Really LOVE the short haired sculpt.
No regrets getting this statue. I think this might be my most favorite figure out of all my collection.
I just wish I could also use the long haired sculpt as well.
