Can nobody in that part of the world who can spend 500 dollars on the statue actually take a picture that doesn't look like it's from a 1998 webcam? Unbelievable.
How long before we get ours of all these people got theirs already?

I agree that the paintjob on the proto is crazy good, too good actualy, no matter how good the production piece came out there's no way it could come close to the proto which sets us up for a small letdown. I guess some slack can be cut

It seems to be an ongoing tradition in this hobby. The first in hand pics are usually always the worst.

well of course you should know already guys.... Collector 101:
-Not have money for a good camera
-Not have money for decent display options ie: shelves etc
-Have all the money in the world to buy characters you might have liked but you aren't really sure.
-Have a hand as steady as Michael J Fox when taking pictures
-Live in a cave with no natural light and only 1 warm white 60w incandescent bulb in the middle of the room while you take a picture in the corner.

No it isnt - its not in focus. It needs to be in focus to actually see the texture details.

And he still looks great to me here anyway. I do agree about his chin. It looks long because the hair is painted too low.

Hoping this comes out in June rather than July. And side note, I had to change my CC number (replacement card). Their website has the weirdest way of doing that I have ever seen lol.
