I have an update from Sideshow, response to my e-mail to them regarding the awful pics:
Dear James,
Thank you for contacting us regarding the Exclusive Hot Toys Luke Skywalker figure.
Unfortunately, it can be difficult to compare multiple photos of a specific item when lighting, camera sharpness, and point of focus can vary greatly among the individual photos. We have seen this item in person and we absolutely love it. However, if you are unhappy with the item once you receive it, we can assist you with a return within your 30 day return period.
Alternatively, if you prefer to cancel your order, we can apply your deposit towards another purchase as a courtesy. Please let me know how you wish to proceed at your earliest convenience.
As always, please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Best regards,
Jaclyn Yudkowsky
