Exactly my point. And I'm not blaming him.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

The paint looks just as bad as the paint on Cyclops, which is awful in my opinion.

So we have googly eyes, make-up applied by a 2 year old, an ass that just plain quit, and terribly dull paint. Sigh.

I hope the next PF proves us wrong. This is why the old PFs are worth so much, because the quality has been established. It's not about the latest, it's all about the quality of material/crafstmanship used. As a comparison.. you can get a 16 megapixel (latest) camera (made in china), doesn't mean anything, or you can get a 6 megapixel (made in Japan say) with a carl zeiss lens that is 10x the quality

The brand premium format should be tied with the meaning of the word

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Just finished inspecting mine, #556. Honestly, the piece looks great to the naked eye. Her eyes have a bit of an issue but it depends on which angle you view the statue. And for some strange reason, the nicer the camera used to shoot this statue, the more flaws it can pick up. There are things that I hardly noticed with the naked eye that show up vividly in the pictures. Usually it's the other way around. I can honestly say that I am content with mine and plan on keeping it. Here are the pics of the heads. I used my Iphone to shoot the pics, since it gives a truer representation of what it looks like in person:
