This is the way I see it....
Sideshow has a reputation of releasing great looking pieces and sometimes it just doesn't look right. Remember Aragorn and the outrage about the face? I was one of the people that was very disappointed when they changed the face. After months of wait a hundreds of responses, at the end it looked okay. It went up in price and I'm looking at it right now because I'm a proud owner of it.
<b>How about T-800? I remember how upset people were with the body saying that he was too skinny, although the face was perfect. When I got it I just added some padding to his shoulders and he looked great.</b>
How about the pose for King Leonidas? That one received a lot of complaints and I think it is one the best PFs I have.
Yes, I have to agree that I was expecting a bit mor considering the hype and the intensity of the character but to be honest, I like the face and the expression, I like the body in general and I wish they redo the base. It also seems to me that the gun could be bigger or thicker......
Overall, I think it is a great piece and I do believe is one of those that it will look way better in person. Hopefully it will be at the Comic Con next year and I trust that Sideshow will make small changes here and there.
I got it and I haven't regret it yet......we'll see
Cheers
