See how he looks at 8:06 when he places him in the LIT display case...
Haha, the way p!tu's holding him is too funny. Twirling him around like a giant Ken doll...literally. My wife laughed while shoulder surfing me. I can't believe Sideshow charged $400 for this.
Qui-gon, I understand you want p!tu to light him right, but I appreciate his review more than anything because it showcases just how awful it really looks in person. His vid isn't enhanced in any way. The vid is as real as it's gonna get. All you guys who own him now and are taking pics of him (great looking pics by the way) are photo editing your pics to make him look even better than the prototype, whereas in p!tu's review, that's truly what you're gonna see when he's sitting right in front of you day in and day out.
Now that I've seen the vid, the costume looks very low-budget too. Everything looks totally fuzed together or something. Hot Toys 1/4 Dark Knight is light years ahead of this...and that one articulates which is something I don't like. Well worth the asking price for that one. MOS should've been no more than $250.

The paint job on mine looks alot better then the one in the video. Maybe he got a bad one painted by a disgruntled Chinese factory worker that showed up to work drunk that day.
I own both, the suit on this blows away the hot toys. In fact everything does but the head sculpt. Since only the head sculpt is better your paying $200 for a 1/6 plastic head instead of $400 for a full 1/4 scale plastic display piece. Don't get me wrong, I like the hot toys but it just doesnt compare it to the pf in terms of overall quality.

I have no stake it getting anyone to love or hate this piece. As I've said multiple times, THERE IS NO PHOTO ENHANCEMENT IN MY SHOTS. Just me, my cheapa$$ Phone in one hand, and a table light in the other. That's it, I promise! The sculpt will not show the proper relief if you don't allow the light an shadow to work. EVERY PF I OWN DISPLAYS THIS SAME CHARACTERISTIC. They ALL look flat and undetailed when they are in diffused light That's why I keep them in lit displays whenever possible.
So, I'm just gonna close with this: if you choose to hate everything abou this statue, have at it. No one is gonna talk you out of it. Sometime I think we just have recreational haters. That's cool. I'm done with it (for now). But to all of you who have managed to ride the hate wave through and are still potentially interested in this piece, order it in. Take a look at it for yourselves. Don't get scared off. give it a fair shake. Just about everyone who has it has called it a keeper. Good Luck!

?I'm all for people who own it and like it, but p!tu's vid kept it real. I mean, I could literally feel how light MOS was by watching the way he was being held in that vid....and I wasn't even the one holding him. I'll add that the suit looked very detailed when zoomed in up close, but when viewing it from a normal distance, as in that vid, the entire thing (to include the head sculpt and hands) just looked like fuzed plastic.
I also wonder how this'll hold up once collectors are bored of it and go to sell it. I believe owners looking to sell are gonna take a massive loss on it. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong.....but I don't think I'm wrong.

Pitu great video man. I'm sorry for everyone that bought one of these, you deserved better. They could've tried to do a polystone head sculpt at least. That video shows you how bad the move was
