I didn't pull the trigger yet, because of all the potential stability issues, but 2 days ago I received my rewards for Batwoman and Magneto and my plan was to have faith in the ingineering and place my order with flex pay, but the site was down and now that I'm seeing those pictures...
.
And not everything can be explained by bad lighting, for example the way the eyebrows are painted.
Honestly I can barely accept the all $700+ maquette thing, but at least Magneto has lived up to his protoype and IMO is even better. I guess I was perhaps too foolish thinking that : maquette label + insane price = assured prototype quality.
Now I'm totally confused on this, I love the prototype and the character so much, but it is an almost 1000€ statue... I don't know if I can accept less than what Sideshow promised me from the beginning.
