Great pictures there.
If the head and body were one piece, therefore a better match, I'd buy this... Or the Grey version.
JAWS you are killing me man.... Lol. I think he holds his own there VS the first big boy
Sarah Jo has great pics over at SF that show the differences are very minimal
I can not stress this enough... In regular room light you can not se any difference in color. If I use a flash camera or shine a flash light right on his face then yes I can see the difference.. Personally I don't think that should be the thing to hold one back. Same goes for the seam... You can view him from most any angle and not see except for a straight shot of the left or right side.
