They don't make much that I consider really off the mark. And the only recent hugely disappointing one for me has been Taki(I mean i wouldnt consider them amazing with potraits but wtf is up with that portrait), but they don't make anything that makes me think "wow I have to have that" even if I don't absolutely love the property it comes from.

HMO has those amazing siren busts and while her portrait could have been better, Nariko was an amazing piece.

@cbro: Personally I wasn't a fan of their Nariko either. It looked nice except for the face. The face was off imo so I never pulled the trigger on it.

But that's the only piece of hmo's that I don't really like. Their beastly beauty line looks great as does their bounty of bathos. Also Mega man x looks fantastic and they may be doing Resident Evil. They've been on point with everything else so I believe hmo as a young company is vastly improving.

Heck compare Nariko's face to Morrigan's face to look at the companies improvement in just a very short while.

I ordered p2. The red, blue, pink, and green look was just too striking for me not too.

Looking at that P1 still blows me away, both versions are going to be amazing!

I do wish there were more "real" shots and vids of the p2 cause that's the one going into my collection but until then I'll just drool over the reg. It's the same face just different color after all!

My contact couldn't get the combo set anyway and even if he could I would have declined. Money is a factor in my collecting so I've never been into collecting variants. Collecting 2 of the same piece, even if it's a variant, stops me from adding another completely unique piece to my collection.

The only possible upcoming piece that may throw a wrench in that is Jill valentine. If they make her and they make her in her s.t.a.r.s outfit and RE3 outfit then I'll choke...

Just my opinion, but those beastly beauties busts are hideous plastic surgery stuff to me. I think this is Mufizal's best female portrait by far.

F4F outsources too many of their sculpts, that I don't have a lot of faith they'll come close to being a serious alternative to HMO. They need to pay a top tier sculptor for some things.

True, havent seen much from f4f in the way of more realistic/animeish looking females. I also thought Taki’s face a bit bland but I’ll confess I wasnt looking too much at the face lol- and also Im not collecting that line. As far as must have pieces- Mugen and Saitama definitley for me. Mugen’s awesomeness is a given, but with Saitama- although he’s a simple design, I cant really explain how “in motion” the statue seems when I look at it in person. You can check my pic to see what I mean. HMO hasnt really had anything yet I wanted. Also, like Chargersfan, didnt care for Nariko’s face. But their skills and art direction seem to be getting better and better.

Yeah I can't deny their skills and art direction. Besides that fact they're doing something in 1/4 scale pieces with those eyes that no other company is doing.

I also hear they own their own production assembly so what we're seeing with the protos might be what we're getting,...or better.

Sorry to read that. Specfiction must have gotten more allocation because they have the P2 up again but the price is really high. You might be able to work out a payment plan with them. Couldn't hurt to ask. I think the price will only keep going up on this piece in the future.

LOL Specification didn't get any reallocations... they just want to make more money off of collectors... pretty fowl in my book, professional re-sellers is what they are... if they got reallocated then those they are giving refunds to should get it for the original price they paid
