Both in-hand/production pcs

Even with the hot toys pics being much sharper, it is clear to see the hot toys one (obviously) doesn't have the intricacies of the original puppet. HT did a great job at immitating what they see on screen as ususal, but when you focus on just 1 section and look at the details you can't compare the two i.e. that last pic of the foot with painted cables vs real cables and lack of hydraulics or all the details on the actual cannon piece of Chronicles/the puppet as in the 2nd to last pic.. Funnily enough HT seem to have included extra cables around that weren't needed like at the cannon (next to the green) and those 2 hazard circular things at his back.


Chronicle on the left; Hot Toys on the right













and one final pic of Chonicle's beauty

Just goes to show that when it comes to the Chronicle Collectables ED-209, accept no substitute...

Let me clarify that, the panel on the side should not be a bright silver, but weathered metal....

So are you willing to help a few Statue Forum members that ordered from Secret Compass?

I'll post a youtube video on a few tweaks like the wires so you can easily fix it yourself. The wires just ned to be routed under the sign and there is enough slack to make this happen.

Well that actually sucks that I have to tweak a $1800 replica (price in my country) myself.
Also for the fact that I was the one that pointed out the error on the rocket arm..

You can ship it to me and I'll fix it and ship it back....

Why?
I ordered from Secret Compass, isnt it easier you tweak it before you send it to Shane from SC?
I was just making a statement how much it costs if i buy it in my country, but with the exchange rate, shipping and customs it will be close to that amount, or maybe more..

Would if I could, but we don't touch them, they get shipped direct. They order a set amount and get routed right through the system.

If you order direct we can handle any tweaks and changes.

That's why I only order direct. I know you guys do a final stage of QC and put in some goodies.

So what if I just asked Shane to ship it to you to fix the issues and then ship it back out to me?

Is that something you could accommodate?
