This figure is exactly what I expected it to be like. I am not disappointed in anyway. It could be that I expected it to be black, as in all the colour descriptions of this figure it says Matt black, metallic black and translucent armour.
I don't understand why collectors think there should be hints of blue. The description is pretty clear and the prototype on display is exactly that. The paint app is excellent.
If collectors are moaning about the colour not being what they expect, they should read the product description as it clearly states it is black, nothing about blue. If a decision to purchase was made on the picture alone without reading the product description, then maybe in future additional research should be done before clicking the pre-order button.
