Freaked Out
How could this happen? I thought P1 is a good company, no more Prime1 for me!

I think when it comes to prime1, its best if you do your purchase when reviews are out. I think the concern with P1 is pre-ordering the product.
I've seen many reviewers who say when P1 is on their A game, they are in another league, but when they're not, that's when it can be bad.
I have two P1's now, and I am absolutely in love with them. So I blindly pre-ordered the P1 Aragorn, and the recent production pictures will most likely cause me to cancel my PO. The production piece's headsculpt looks bad. Its supposed to be shipping now, but there are rumors that it might be on hold as many people's reaction to the production piece is deja vu to the 1/3 Joker.
I am pretty sure I will eventually own more P1 pieces, but I dont think I will Pre-order one from now on. Since the prices have gone crazy, they dont sell out anyway. So its best to see reviews first before purchasing one.
I disagree though that their products are crap, because as I mentioned, when they're on their A game, the statue is a masterpiece.

I currently have 3 prime 1 statues (Batman Who Laughs, Heath Ledger Joker, Kratos from God of War) and I'm impressed with all three. I also have 7 of their products on order (Baldur from God of War, Joaquin Phoenix Joker, Heath Ledger Joker Bust, 1/3 Jungle Hunter Predator, Batman vs Joker, The Red Death, Dawnbreaker). I feel like the Joker Bust looks great, and pairing him with the Joaquin Phoenix Joker will be a cool display. The Baldur statue has looked amazing in reviews and will look good with Kratos. Prime 1 does great with DC comic statues so I'm not worried about the quality for those three. The only one I'm a bit nervous on is the Predator. But I'm hoping it will be executed fairly well.

Posted by [ukshaun] on Statue Forum. Someone on Instagram modded their bust. Rooted hair and either a touch up or repaint.

My bust shipped from SS. That looks epic above.

I wonder how much that would cost? It looks incredible but super pricey

Amazing. I received the statue ( with smiling head sculpt) few days back and I have to say I’m impressed with the head sculpt and paint. I was very worried, even after seeing reviews with proper light. Initial pictures were not in my mind any more, but still worried because make up looked too shiny and flat. But in hand, the statue and the portrait is really good. And likeness is great.
I’m waiting for the bust now and I think I won’t like it as much as I like the smiling face.

That repaint/hair mod looks great. Nice job whoever did it. Would like to see from front on though.
wow, looks really good right there. Congrats on getting it for free
can't wait for mine.

I received the bust today. Great looking bust. I don’t like it on the statue at all. I think it’s because my statue is displayed above eye level.

It's weird how it doesn't look that great on the body. We thought this would be the be all and end all

The bust portrait definitely looks better at eye level or below. I’m fact it looks amazing on the statue if your statue is not high up on a shelf.
Looking up at the portrait
Eye level or slightly below eye level
So.. smiling sculpt looks better when displayed high. Serious sculpt looks better when displayed low. I periodically move my statues around and I will swap the portraits according to display height.

I agree with the positioning but the comparison isn't completely fair as the lighting is awful on the pics of him high up - really highlights the shininess of the paint which isn't evident on the lower down pics

Yeah my room is dark with spotlights on the statues. Wasn’t going to tear down my whole setup just for some comparison pictures lol
Smiling portrait faired much better in the same setup which also speaks to the point I was making.
