Congrats on the order, Dundee! Curious to hear what you think when the time comes.
While there's a lot right with this statue (the fully-sculpted jacket and now the updated likeness), there's still something holding me back from ordering. The sides of the base are a little too busy for my taste, but it's offputting to have build a new base for a 1/4 statue at $1K. The jacket sculpt feels droopy too, almost like it's melting on him. I think I also prefer Prime 1's pose, just a shame that their clothes fit in such a way that the body looks like it was cut in half and rotated.
Maybe if another company puts out a 1/4 figure and uses real leather for the jacket (or a customizer makes one), that would offer enough flexibility for me. I could get the pose exactly how I want and swap bases with ease. In the meantime, I'll wait this one out.
