You’re never going to happy with anything you buy because nothing it perfect. You might as well either start buying statues or go for custom projects. These things are mass produced and will reflect that. It’s toys, let it go and have fun.
Statues are typically far from perfect as well, have a larger footprint, are pricey and would be a nightmare for storage. Whether that’s the large boxes or the heavy statues themselves. You have to be much more mindful in how they are stored.
I read someone here has 10k in final payments on PO for the month, largely due to statues. I personally can’t spend that much in a month for factory paintwork and the possibility of QC issues, no matter how many PO of mine make up that total. Not much customization to be had on a statue, just hope the company nails it for you. At 1:3 scale and up, it’s much harder to live with likeness issues and costume inaccuracies.
For the most part I agree about custom work,
but even then that has its misses.
People shouldn’t collect in hopes that progress stops with the figure they decide on bringing into the collection, whether that be mass production or custom.
To me, it’s not that I expect perfection out of the box. What I do expect at the very least is an appropriate amount of a base to work with. I’m perfectly fine adjusting things to be more accurate so long as it’s possible, I do it to anything that enters the collection, stock is boring.
Here the joints and underlying body they chose makes the suit look cheap due to how thin the material is, in comparison to the older HT version.
Everything else here is obviously superior
and no one ever denied that.
You shouldn’t see that level of indentation on the shield in any light or angle. Simply the wrong material choice on their part.
The glyphs being incorrectly placed,
how does one go about fixing that?
The drop from proto sculpt to final is upsetting to people, which is understandable. They were on the money regarding Cavill’s likeness before production started. In fact I believed it to be their best likeness to date.
