Never said I will. You just have a bad attitude.
Calling out what is....I'm not the only one that feels this way. Look at the social media posts about the figure.
Personally I’m just waiting to see some better pictures of everything before I pay my invoice, preferably in-hand from someone who will actually futz the clothes properly. At the end of the day it’s still an Ash figure, so you either want one enough to forgive the shortcomings or you don’t. I never liked the SS version—it was like a jacked-up 90s Power of the Force version of Ash—and could never bring myself to grab one even though PC had it in stock for ages at MSRP after it was long sold out here in the states. So I still think this looks better than the SS version from what I’ve seen so far. But is “better” still worth $350 for the deluxe? I would just like to see more and better pics before deciding for sure.
Yeah I would agree there. Even with the downgrade in quality this is still a better looking Ash than the Sideshow figure.
Putting it in perspective, where basic SSC figures go for $250, and unlicensed 1/6 figures of comparable quality often go for upwards of $200, getting a figure, massive base, and all the bells and whistles for $350 is definitely reasonable in my view, even factoring in the issues that have been discussed.
But yeah, getting more pics should help us have a much better sense of things. We really know next to nothing with only early, parted out pics and a handful of random production shots on Facebook.

I agree. Even with the downgrades this is the best 1/6 Ash you can get. The Lux version being far superior than the SSC version. Compared to other licensed figs I would say it’s fairly priced for what you’re getting
I am a big fan of the SSC version, and am not 100% sure this new standard figure will beat it. But yeah, that base!

Yeah the tailoring, body and chainsaw on the sideshow are definitely better. The sculpt would have been better on the Asmus if it wasn't for the hair and paint app. Also the hair on the Linda head is terrible in that photo. I don't think I'll be keeping my order unfortunately.
As I said earlier, still waiting for some good, properly futzed photos. This guy didn’t even make an ounce of effort lol.
But yeah, no hair on Henrietta is a big red flag for me that they cut some serious corners on this.
Based on those pictures, it's highly doubtful I'll be paying the invoice when (or if) it's ever sent to me. Bad photography can't be blamed for Henrietta's missing hair, or how awful everything else looks in the photos. They applied absolutely none of the texture or shading to Henrietta. I actually thought the reduced paint on Ash helped improve his likeness, but that Henrietta is inexcusable. She has the textured appearance of hand sculpted statue in the proto pictures, but looks like a smooth, glossy, cheap plastic toy in those new images.
That's just Hent-riatta
The whole set is corner cutted....It amazes me how anyone can defend this rush job for $375
