Yeah, pretty easy fix though. just a quick dark wash round the appropriate area. My technique is crush some dry paint up, till its almost a powder and then with a fine paint brush apply the powder to the face.

As expected, it's one level down from the prototype in my opinion. The body looks narrower, the face too, especially in the chin. But still this is a pretty cool looking figure. I preordered couple days ago on onesixthoutfitters, excited to receive it!
Yeah this definitely looks like it would benefit from being put on a larger Phicen body with it's thicker neck.

Coming into stock in Hong Kong in the next few days.
The first review came in for a massive pasting and sustained anti-VTS vitriol on Facebook because the lighting made the un-helmeted sculpt look so different from the prototype.
It seems an unwritten law that the first photos of a new figure must be bad enough that they cause mass hysteria.
The next two reviews managed to capture a closer representation of the original prototype, allowing for the difference in production paint and photography. In my experience sculpts look better in hand than they do in most photos, especially if I'm the one taking the photo.
I'm looking forward to my pair of VTS Dredds. Unused parts will upgrade the Xensation, which always suffered from a squished head and helmet that didn't come up to the standard of the original Scaletta Dredd that Xensation/Asmus used for promotion.

I think it's held on with a magnet, as with the ThreeA Dredd. One of the reviews mentioned that the armour and uniform epaulettes were secured with magnets so you could change easily between the different looks.

I'm pretty dissapointed myself. That gold is flat and boring, the body looks a little thin and that head is just weird.
Yeah Stallone has never been huge. Muscular but not to Arnie levels.
I don't think the problem is the jawline as much as the thin neck of the body. Hopefully, that won't be a hard fix.

Somebody finally managed to futz the belt. Though to get it to reach the codpiece it's now a bit too low.

With the belt, it could be raised a little to cover the bottom of the tunic, as there is a gap between the buckle and the indentation:
But futzing from these photo-reviewers has been ridiculous. Just look at the badge chain in those images.

Is there a gold chrome paint that would make this pop ? I know Molotov have a fantastic chrome paint, maybe a yellow tint over the top ? Might be a new body swap when mine arrives. He looks way too tall.
Some gold Rub n Buff would probably work.
