This painting is absolutely beautiful. All the time there are alternatives ... I am referring to people with money:) ... and pretentious as their money. Folks, why not send directly to Steve Riojas to paint this beautiful sculpture if you do not like?? It is one of the best painters in the world, more than that for those who live in the U.S.? Everyone complains about painting .... how do you want to come out any better from the hands of a Chinese artist ???????? / Let's not be ridiculous. from 1-10, I think the correct score is somewhere around 8,5- 9
 
All complain of clarity of these pictures:)))) . When I will get this beauty in my hands I will take some spectacular photos ... and maybe you are going to put on the wall :))
 
Don't know now,if the #330 is a production piece,why it does it look better than the costumers are receiving ? Shouldn't be all the same or at least very close ? Paint job on these 2 are different.

The 'production' pieces they 'randomly' pull are obviously not the same as whats being sent to customers.

Remember the Endo 'production' sample.

Still looks good though, just not what was promised.

They should but it's clear to many that the paint job on their #330 is not on the same level as the others floating around. Paul attributes this to "camera and lighting." That's straight up BS.

Can we complain about the lower jaw paint now?


I don't know, I'm kind of on the fence if I would be too bothered if mine came looking like that. We never EVER get what the companies show off in the preorder stage. The problem here is that CC showed near prototype quality paint apps on stuff they called production pieces, and then people get what's pictured which isn't even close in some areas, and we're off on the hunt for what else is different from the promised quality. Overall, it's looking like a nice looking licensed product that may not be quite as good as Sideshows Dionosauria line in the paint apps unfortunately. That said, even SSC's rex has some less than inspiring looking spotting:

A little wash or blending around the lips and mouth corners on the CC breakout rex to soften the harsh dotted contrast, and we might not even be having this discussion.

I was very close to ordering this. So I'm guessing the 'production piece ' shown on the facebook chat was actually a counter sample which they boxed up in the production sample packaging and acted like it was a production piece being unboxed for the first time. There is no way, none, that this is the same as what was shown in that video. Such a dodgey company.

You don't know ANY of that as fact. Endo factory did the same thing to them, sent them nice ones to ok and sent us junk.

Completely different circumstances.

We were told it was a ramdomly pulled production piece shown, NOT a production 'sample'.
Strange as this was weeks ago and they've only just received the shipment

Yes, "randomly" pulled by the factory, which I bet there is nothing "random" about. There can be major differences between painters, seen it many times with SS, but these guys are supposed to be a cut above which is why CC uses them.

Yeah I know,look at the difference and they are both "production" samples.:lol
