I was very close to cancelling. A big part of that was Justin's videos. But then I had to remind myself that all his videos make most figures look bad. It's the soap opera affect of the 1/6 reviewing world. A lot of people like it, I hate it, in no normal situation do you view a figure with overblown lighting. Overblown lighting makes everything look bad, combine it with poor futzing and it's worse.
So with that in mind I went back to the video they released 7 months ago of Viper presenting it and reminded myself of why I ordered it, and have a little bit of excitement coming back. I'm keep the deluxe rooted and hoping the big head isn't actually an issue with it. I'm still entirely disappointed with the choice of fabric for the purple coat, it looks cheap. Really poor effort on it. I'm also really hoping the tailoring is more form fitting and that his proportions are more filled out like in the proto, time will tell.
But I'm still in mostly to have a base for a custom head. Will sell off one of the rooted, probably the purple coat version. Hope I won't be making a mistake in sticking with this, as I took a hit on a JND pre-order I had to help fund this.
Either way, hope Inart learns from letting him have the first hands on. How his review can make the figure look completely different to the videos they released is incredible. Jedha, you remain the best reviewer.
