I actually added semi gloss to the nails and the purple side of the head and gloss to the mouth and it looks even better now.

I really haven't heard anyone who got it say it is just okay. So far everyone is pretty impressed with it and consider this piece a must. If I was you I would get it now or as long as it's still available because after it is sold out, expect to pay top dollar for it...

Of course, I might be wrong about that

You could be right on it going for more than retail, or you could be wrong? One thing to note: Almost every PCS statue in the past, has dropped way below retail in the aftermarket. I've personally took a bath on a couple Street Fighter pieces I sold. Got less than half what I paid. However, there's not a lot of PH stuff out there, so it could go up a few hundred or more? Got to also keep in mind how historically terrible the economy is too. I scored a Prime 1 DX Dog Alien in mint condition a couple months ago for only $450 more than it's original retail price, so anything's possible...and that statue is perfect imo. A true Grail piece that I would never consider flipping no matter what.

I'm in my thinking stage right now. I'm digesting what I've seen in the last 24 and need to sleep on it one more night. If it was 1/3 I'd a bought it last night, but I'm still interested at 1/4 because I like the creature. Thanks for your input buddy. Decisions decisions....

Peg issues are for people that don't try.

The tail and the plasticky look of the base and smoothed out details in Pumpkinhead's skin are what I am referring to.

Hmmmmm. I don?t see any of this smoothing out of the skin. This thing is all texture. I?ll have to go back and watch some of the proto videos from the show to see if I can see what you are talking about.

I don?t know if it will keep its value or not. All I know is that this is a home run and I agree with your comments about the base making the statue pop.

The sculpt on this is a 10 out of 10 and the paint is an 8.5. The presence is easily a 10 and is really something special to own.

I had zero issues with the tail. There is not a smooth surface on him. The grass looks great the mud not so much.

Good points.... It is hard to say at this point but waiting a little longer might be the better choice. I guess I'm a bit bias because I love this character and there are not a lot of statues with that presence out there, then again if you love Street Fighter you would have the same opinion.... Pumpkinhead editon size is 1000 (400 exclusive and 600 collectors edition) so I guess you have time

Ok. Here is another attempt to manipulate the photo to get what I see before me. Texture is great. No smoothness to the skin. Watched the SSC reveal and texturing seems the same. Paint apps are solid on this. Lots of purple hues and green/blue veins. Could use maybe a little more grime on pumpkinhead himself.

For me this beats out the original in terms of pose and presence but the base is not as good. Film accuracy kind of depends what you are looking at. This new piece is more stylized but the original had issues like oversized teeth and the shape of the head was off IMO. But paint apps were more accurate as well as some of the dinner details in the suit.

You could wait on it for sure. But if you have the funds I would dive in (pumpkin)head first.

That new pic looks great! He looks good with Alien and Predator.
