Thanks for the link!
I personally think anyone who went with Chronicle did the right thing here. For all i've seen online it's the most accurate, in my opinion the way better looking, it's better posed (just hear what McIntosh himself
said about the piece), and it's not made of vinyl.
Also not sure how could anyone prefer the Prototype eyes to the production ones (?) since to me those looked awful since reveal, nor how could anyone criticize them in first place.
As seen in their videos on FB, and
this post, Chronicle received ILM files so those eyes are exactly the way they should be.
Maybe they ended up being too dark because they took the renders literally, with little consideration on how those were composited in the final movie, but you can clearly see even in low res screen grabs that CC eyes are the accurate ones.
Objective issues are the base, clearly superior in the Prime 1 version, and the lack of painted details, but honestly just with little efforts put on it this piece could become not only perfect but also the best life-size Blue ever existed in the physical realm.. if i could afford Jurassic World pieces on top of all the JP stuff i would pick this up immediately since those pics posted truly made me jealous.
Current price on BBTS is also a joke, thank God they don't ship oversized items to Europe or i wouldn't have been able to resist.
