The negativity started a lot more faster than I expected for this figure. Usually takes a few more pages for that to happen.
I am still firm in my belief that this is just a picture problem. It will look great in hand. For some reason, most of HT proto shots never look really good to me (Wolverine, Blade, Barney Ross, GR, DX04, Thor, etc...). If I based my PO on their proto shots I would have skipped a lot of fantastic figs
Those still on the fence better make a decision now. Don't go hunting for one at a higher than usual price later like with GR and DX BL.
This will be one of those highly sought after figure in the future.
