OK, I know I'm waaay late on this discussion, but please forgive me as I've been on vacation.
For some reason SS sent me 2 Pippins, even though I only ordered one through the site. I guess that's not a huge deal, since he is an exclusive and will probably be somewhat valuable later on. That being said, I really dislike this piece. I dislike it so much that I think I'm going to send both of them back to SS (something that I've never done before).
You might ask, what is so bad about him? Well, first of all his lips and mouth look TERRIBLE. He has some sort of bright red lipstick on, and looks like he's wearing makeup. It looks very similar to the pics of bad 1/4 Lukes that I have seen. The facial pic on the box looks awesome, but the statue looks nothing like that.
I also have yet to see someone's pictures that don't look like the ones I have, so it's not an anomaly. I don't think my statues are defective at all, I just that that the production pieces look vastly different from the prototypes. The #'s I received are 104/2000 and 301/2000 if anyone cares to compare.
