I'm glad that you guys appreciate the pics posted yesterday. I do have a favor to ask though. When you guys start to receive your statues can you please check your Optimus for the following defects that mine has:
1st thing is that the right side of the statues face has a triangular cut out of a piece thats missing. Possibly due to the mold or it was maybe cut off or sanded down by whoever worked on this part:
Should be like this:
Also, while the statue has a weathered and battle damaged look it is not supposed to have any actual paint scratched/scraped off(as far as I know and can tell). All of the supposed paint scrapes are the silver paint brush strokes all over the statue. They are over the smooth painted surfaces. On my statues left leg there are deep scrapes that were attempted to be painted over, but some deep scrapes still remain.
Please let me know if you guys have any of these issues. I want to confirm that these are in fact defects and not the look and final result of the statue. I have already contacted sideshow regarding these issues, but need some more info from you fellow collectors regarding the condition of yours. Thanks
Here's how I displayed mine due to it not fitting in the case that it's on top of. It sticks out a little bit, but I think that its not that bad. Please don't judge the mess of the neighboring cases as they are not yet displayed as they will be.

I got my shipping as well.
Plus you might get one with better battle damage because imho they really over did the silver paint on this leg.
The other guy that posted pictures doesn't have anywhere near that much on the legs and if mine comes looking like that then i want a replacement.
