sometimes they have to leave the head separate for painting purposes, this is also the prototype so the production piece may not have a seam there at all

Yikes. That seam is terrible. I didn't notice this when I ordered which is my fault. If production is like this, I will be cancelling.

The neck seam is ok, but I wonder why they didnt put the other half of the stitches on the body side???

Really hope Factory will honor all the diff flesh tones they used.
Some spots with extra yellow and greenish so it is more decayed makes it look great.

The neck seam in question would be classed as unacceptable on 99% of statues, but with Frankenstein's Monster it adds to piece.
It looks like his head was stapled into position.
