These are customer and retailer pictures. Unless you mean that every statue may differ depending on the paint apps, then I concur. I even mentioned that earlier, but I am more confident with the idea that everyone who has received their order has been more than pleased with how she has turned out vs. the prototype pictures we received. Always have to trust the end result over the prototype piece, which in this case is the mass produced items that we the retailers and customers receive.
As for the hands, it may not be a big hang up to some based on the overall presentation of this piece, and the fact it is so well done. Nonetheless, it's still a justified hang up regardless of how one feels. These are not cheap 7-10 dollar Hasbro figures, but 200 dollar resin statues. So we should expect nothing but the best! Even when it comes to the smaller things.
In the end, it was the face, and the detailings I was more-so concerned about being lost in the production process. However, seeing as that doesn't seem to be the problem based on these pictures have turned out, Gentle Giant may have a returning customer in your's truly, with the hope that mine turns out nicely. I am sold on this being GG's best piece to date!
