Now if we can get some manufacturers to give us a nice Dimitrescu piece … we’ll be in business

With companies like Infinity Studios, JND, and Queen Studios - (hell, even Oniri) putting out pieces with silicone, at the same price, to give us a heightened sense of realism - seeing something like this, which seems like a similar quality to Sideshow - just seems like a rip off.

I was underwhelmed with their Spock and with their Sarah Conner - now this....

Well, I guess I will save money, and no one is forcing me to buy it.......thank God.

My thoughts exactly. This would be serviceable as a 1/7 piece, maybe even 1/6 if the price was right but anything bigger than that with this detail... Ugh...

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Indeed! But..... I'd still love to see a JND caliber Ada, haha.
