James Cameron's AVATAR A.M.P. Suit Maquette

[Figurefreaks]

Has anyone looked at the assembly instructions? I noticed the paint apps look a little lesser than that of the gallery pics. The dirt on the feet and general weathering look much more mass produced. At least thats my first impression. Am I wrong? I mean, Its not enough to look bad but Im almost expecting perfection for the price and wait ya know...

As long as it’s mass produced I’m not expecting it to look exactly as the promo (no matter the price) …they never do.

Especially the weathering (mud) is hard to get right.

But there is only 500 being produced and they are adding 3-6 months to production

I now …but its mass produced what so ever.

I will wait until I see it in hand to decide if it needs a touch up or not. I like it to be as dirty and muddy as the promo pictures.



The loooooooong wait.

I feel like this happens quite often to the items I order...

It might be legal issues...who knows. But it doubt its to brush up on quality...

But seriously, what could possibly warrant a 4-6 month extension on estimated time of arrival? Are they having to redo every last one? Purhaps they had to change the painter. I know the ironman 1:1 bust incident with the horrible paint jobs that led to chipping and flaking forced sideshow to find another paint app place to redo the ones sent back.

The piece would never be announced and produced if there were any legal issues.

 

[lightwave000]

And they have the license so I dont see where legality would come into play.

I said maybe...

Maybe they just want to test my patience

I know, it's so annoying and the fact that it's been reduced in size by 10 inches.

Can anyone actually confirm that?
