Do you think I can pile up the boxes without damaging their content?
I'm moving this year (was meant to happen before this statue shipped which sucks) but I feel like I need to try putting it together first just to make sure there's no issues, I've heard a few people struggling to get the feet in. But don't like the idea of then disassembling again.

Sometimes they are deliberately deceiving general customers.

Example, I questioned the missing head tilt on the bust last week. And some other people also asked about how this would look on the statue atm.

As reply Leo posted two pictures, but it seemed bit fishy to me bcs i saw too much black space (see orange lines).
Original picture:


Seems he deliberate put a dreadlock between the neck peg and the portrait to lift face a bit higher at the front so head on full body still looks 'close enough' as advertised.
Probably to suppress FB complaints against Prime. (atm mr. Matsumoto also suppressing FB complaints with other statues, by telling ppl they see things in wrong way).

Close up same photo
Does anyone else think the forehead has more of that darker muddy look than the other portraits? A bit like what they did with the 1/4 just not as much

I bought the closed mouth bust assuming it would have the tilt myself. It kind of reminds me of Jason Voorhees creepy signature head tilt.
it appears to my eyes that the spine that is included on the Limited Bust (or other busts) is actually a smaller scale.




i don't see why they wouldn't be interchangable

It is definitely smaller on the bust. It might be too tight on the full statue to get over his arm & torso though? That's something to try though for sure!

It's pretty obvious that they realized it wasn't correct on the full statue & it was too late in production to correct.....but the bust came later on the schedule & they made the correct changes.

Might be oversized but the bigger one looks much better.

It's possible they shrank the bust's spine so it would look better on a smaller chunk of torso. Also won't wrap around as nicely on the full statue due to being one stiff piece.

personally i could care less about the spine, but the good news (if it fits the statue) is we now have options The CM's spine looks to be one solid piece, appears to wrap around the back nicely. I'm sure if this fits it would do the same.

Good pic Jungle Demon. Spines accurate on the statue, just seems a little oversized though I could be wrong from that pic. The bust one is way too small and short, would not use that one on the FS statue.
