Jesus!!! [emoji31][emoji31]
The eyes are off. There is no "angle".
Also the 43's eyes have a slight defect but this one's too much noticeable...[emoji20][emoji20]
Whhhhhyyyyy????? [emoji31][emoji31][emoji31][emoji31][emoji22][emoji22][emoji22][emoji20]

Wish I had the scratch for this, would look nice next to my 1/4 Mk 43.

Is it just me or the gold colour of the prototype looked better? I should stop knocking this as I have it on pre-order...

 

[stellardude]

Love the pose that they have the 43 in, might have to do that myself now.

Anyone get a shipping notice on this one? Sideshow just sent me an email that Friday Feb 17 is shipping day.

Wow, very quick turnaround, maybe the quickest I've seen.

Nice!

Yup the gold on prototype does look better, judging by the photos posted here. Let's hope the real thing turns out to be just as good.
*pre-ordered mine as well

I asked Budget Stark about the eyes on the sculpt on youtube. His reponse:

"[the eyes are] Not derpy. It is that the camera has 1 focal point, whereas when you see it with your eyes, you have 2 focal points. When you get close to the headsculpt, the eyes will be looking slight different directions as the camera is too close. From around 6 inches or more away from the headsculpt, it is fine."

So sounds like it's safe to say that pictures will not be forgiving but in person it looks as intended. Not a qc issue.

I think this is why they go with dead stares most of the time. When the eyes are painted to be looking at something specific they won't quite look right from some angles.

They said the same thing for the 43's 1/4 head sculpt. The imperfection is there.
I have it in hand and it is clearly measurable.
This one too,only worse. It is clear in every video.
I'll have it in hand next week and take some pictures before sending the head to be "eyes repaired".

Will they actually replace the headsculpt for you if it is deemed defective? Do a certain amount of people need to ask for it?

 

[jki&Cri]

No that's not what I meant.
I'll send the head to a professional to straight out the eyes.

 

[Resident Eric]

I think zooming in with the camera made it look worse than it is.

I agree but the problem is clearly there. At this price point something like this is incredible (and very unusual for ht except for the 43).

I gotcha. How much does something like that run? You're right, that is ****** at this price point to have to do something like that.

Jesus of all things to complain about...that's not that big of a deal. If you think those eyes are "derpy" then you truly haven't seen some pieces that really have derpy eyes.

Why should I justify an error because someone else has made an even bigger error?? Where is the login in that?
For THAT price eyes should have been ok (if not perfect...). I don't think we are asking too much.
It is not a deal breaker for me but I'm not happy for sure...
