Don't see any problem with the headsculpt other than it being on a cheap knockoff body. Cheap axe is certainly a part of production logistics when you have to make and paint so many so fast. Paint quality on the sculpts is certainly a production issue related to large editions when the paint quality drops because so many sculpts have to be painted so fast. So yea, I think upping edition sizes in these things can certainly be related to a drop in quality when some cutting corners is neccessary inorder to make schedule.
Rainman delivered though...you wanted more, you got more....now people have the nerve to complain about things after the fact? Yea sure.
I don't put any blame on Rainman at all. He quenched all that thirst that was going on. Let's just take a look back starting on page one to see the different opinions on this topic to see what side people were on regarding these matters.
