That's the conclusion I came to, wich now means that I won't be buying.

I have never noticed the flaws that you pointed if you have not posted.

So Thank you for posting you just saved me alot of money.

I'm glad people have an excuse not to get this. Makes it easier for the rest of us to score one

It's the same with those 1:1 Endos from Sideshow. If they are not screen accurate what is the point.

There shouldn't be any problem getting this. You should be good to go.

In the end, if it looks really cool, who cares if its 100% screen accurate? I mean it's a work of art not a science project. Who could suggest that the cm vader doesn't scream the dark lord. I think if you're a serious prop collector, accuracy may be more significant. But if you're a statue/art collector, it's all about the look. If you have to change a thing here and there to make the piece flow better, or realize a terrific pose that would be compromised with 100% accuracy, then I'm all for the change. I agree that it may have not been necessary with the cm vader to do an inaccurate costume. But who cares. I think if they wanted to do a 100% accurate costume, they would have digitally scanned the prop (like the did with the endo). I think this was a Wang sculpt. The predator is hardly 100% accurate but its way better than sideshow's digitally scanned predator.

I know Bulls, but with the popularity of Vader, one can never be too certain.

I wonder if we'll see a pre-order up soon.

It very much depends on whether you're an accuracy nut. Some are more than happy with a good representation of a character whether it's 100% accurate or not.

Well said. I actually prefer CM's version of Predator myself and I bet Wang does too.
