I was joking... but that was in fact state-of-the-art back then. There was no Hot Toys, or anything else beyond Dragon military figures. That was top of the line 1/6th for an important movie franchise -- Sideshow WAS top of the line. Yes, the paint was crap. But I remember well how we all raved about the sculpt being good once you "shaved" off some of the excess paint apps around the beard. I saved many pictures proving that point. But in no way is it what we would call good or even serviceable now. You have to remember this was 2006. Nobody liked the "mud" hair though. That was one thing we all hated.
