The base is the best part.
I’m just going to buy one bust and make my own with no base

semi good news, apparently there's a second hand (without a hole) in the package, and some real balloons. Not optimal but at least there's the option of displaying it otherwise, guess Ill look into a different fake balloon or something if need be.

So glad I didn't pull the trigger on this. I knew it wasn't face accurate, but all the other issues make this the easiest pass, with no regrets.

ECC version all the way for me, even if it is smaller scale.

Absolutely absurd. A real balloon should've never been an option. And much like the engineered balloon, the real balloons aren't even in scale with the piece.

In addition, I can't be the only one who believes changing out a balloon every few days is both impractical and most certainly anathema for what was supposed to be part of a "museum masterline". This statue is easily one of their worst results to date and highlights a few of my main concerns with P1. Their willingness to compromise quality, their sloppy execution in regards to overcoming engineering issues (i.e. the hand and Batman's leaning issue) and their tendency to push out preorders before solving how to even successfully engineer and produce the statues they're selling.

Valid points. I mainly meant that you’re not stuck with a hand with a hole at least. Has to be some way to get that balloon on in a better way, I’m sure someone out there will think of something
But yeah for this price, p1 should’ve for sure

I coulda told you this would end up looking like crap with all that fabric and wig hair - like a gigantic, super expensive Pennywise doll.

the tweeterhead version looks to be the best so far. I was more disappointed with the final product of the ECC version. I never liked the likeness of the Prime.
