They needed to add something, this piece just doesn't have that wow factor that an endoskeleton should have, especially at this price point. Here's hoping their T2 maquette is more impressive, IF that's even still going to be made. I wouldn't be surprised if the poor sales on this piece has insured that we'll never see the T2 version.
Yes, because THAT is what everyone was clamoring for, a lighted base, really makes me want to buy it now...
Reminds me of their terrible P2 Maquette, 50 different things they could have done to improve it and instead they just give you a head stand for the other poor headsculpt.
