The color on Anubis is more like the hero we have in the studio, Toynami darkened down my original paint job on the 1:1, so I made it a little brighter knowing they would get it closer at the factory with the paints they use.
We no longer carry stock on items, if they don't sell well we will not reduce the ES we will just cancel products moving forward.

So if I'm understanding this right the piece shown in the video and the marketing images are not what it is going to look like once produced because it was painted brighter than it should be so that when Toynami get it and try to replicate the paint job they won't go as dark as they did for the 1:1 piece?
Maybe its me but this seems like a slightly backward way around to do things. Wouldn't it give customers more confidence to have had Toynami produce a proto painted version and show that to people cos that's what they'll actually end up getting?
And call me cynical but the original piece that was shown in the video looks a lot darker than the 1:2 scale shown (by quite a long way). I'd be interested to see a picture of them being held up side by side under the same lighting.
Again, great piece but too many questions for me to lay down so much cash.
