I'm the last person to come to Prime1's defense when we're talking about quality of finish.....but gents, why is no-one crediting this gem with Blitzway? They're in a partnership with Prime1 on these pieces, and as far as I know (which, admittedly - isn't much)....Prime1 is only responsible for distribution and manufacturing capacity - design, QC sign-off, etc are all with Blitzway. Essentially, all Prime1 does is provide access to the D.C. license and point the direction to a Chinese manufacturer with available manufacturing capacity.
I don't make this statement lightly either - as I'm pinning high hopes on Blitzway being an alternative hyper real option that doesn't lean heavily on silicone like Queen will, and JND does......but clearly, with this piece, it looks less likely that Blitzway is going to live up to the competition.

These pictures are horrible. I don't think it's the statue's fault

Considering the lighting sucks, that doesn't look that bad to me. Too early to judge....but I still think the unmasked likeness looks way better than JND, which everyone seems to love.

I've come to the conclusion when its comes to Prime 1 with Bliztway, its can be a hit or miss. But there CW was beautifully executed.

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

I believe it has a lot to do with the factory they hire to produce the piece, and of course their QC as well.

is the box size known yet, prime 1 really needs to update the website where instead of only showing the PRODUCT size, it would be helpful if they also showed the box size.

Placed an order on this guy, and it will be my first 1/3 DC movie piece. It?s going to stick out in a collection of comic based statues, but I don?t even care this statue looks badass.

Similar issues with neck collar as the JND (don't know if this will be an isolated case or widespread).
The painting on the cowl seems very soft on this lightning and the curved ears may bother some people.
The unmasked portrait is a little cartoony to me.
Body sculpt is great and the base is cool for those who like a random mixture of storytelling elements.
