Production samples I am sure Col, David told us long ago nothing would change, it's a nice thought to think they may surprise us with a few changes but I very much doubt it at this late stage. I like that Sideshow are happy to kick the factories into gear and tell them when things aren't good enough, shows they appreciate this thing is an awful lot of money to the average person. Hopefully we'll end up with something pretty close to the prototype. I'd be very happy if so.

If they would simply widen the back of the helmet to be accurate, I would buy one.

They need to file his left toenail down .002 of an inch. Then I'd buy it too.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Highly doubt they're changing the sculpt.
Got a feeling my WL may convert shortly. Been a few cancellations.

They just know that even those of us that ordered it despite the faults will be SOOOO shipping these back if the QC is crappy.

Yep, for $1200 it better look just like the prototype or I will shipped it back to them.
I paid $800+ for XM Cap and XM Hulk and they look exactly like the prototype, so there is no reason why SS can't achieve the same thing. Since it is a low Edition Size they should hire the painter who did the prototype to come in and inspect these statues and do any necessary touchups before shipping them out.

If you thought the production Predator LSBs looked like the prototypes, you will probably be pleased with this statue.

Meanwhile - back in reality . . . . 
Hopefully the smaller scale on THIS will mean the production paint on the head isn't quite THAT bad.
