Yes, that looks way better to me. It actually looks like dirt smudges rather than what SS has. And the weathering variations from figure to figure make it even better for those that would be getting more than one.

Maybe for multiples, but I've seen some horrendous weathering on the Medi version and if I'm just getting one I wouldn't want to get stuck with a dud.
I hear that. I've only had one Medi Sandie and I thought the weathering was well done but if they're were some stinkos out there that would've been a bummer to get one.

Are you on the square?
I still think the armor details on the SS Sandtrooper looks great...I'll have to fudge with the weathering...
will someone ask a SS rep why the struggle to get the factory to paint decent apps? Wish I was going to SDCC this year; probably next year!

My waitlist still hasn't converted. 
I missed the PPO by 3 hours (I was on a car trip). But this isn't coming out til September, so I'm still hopeful. I wasn't too concerned about missing out at first, but now that I see the figure again, I really want it!

Its hard to tell from the photos, but kind of looks like the whole figure has some light washes on it, but then the very dark splotches. Maybe a bit heavy handed, but I think it might still turn out good.
No way I'm cancelling this one, but the weathering looks bad. I'll be retouching it for sure.

After seeing the SDCC photo's I'm on the fence about this one now. The weathering looks more like rust on an old 57'chevy than dirt and smudges...

I think it still looks pretty good but I will not be able to keep my in the end.
That image does suggest washes and subtle weathering, probably being washed out by all of the flash photography.

It's weird to hear you say good things about SW.
He's just being witty to piss off the Stormtrooper accuracy police.
