What do you mean by lacking detail? someone has got to be specific please, because I clearly am not seeing what some of you are.

The detail is simplified and soft in up close pics of the armor- starting with MK 42....from a distance they look fine but get up close...compare them to close ups of HT 1/6 figures and there is no comparison
Notice ALL these big 1/4 guys are 2014 releases?? Yeah, whatever!
Just give me the Pepper sculpt and I'll slap it on a 1/4 Neca and save myself 400 dollars

Well, for starters, the paint jobs on these protos was downright sloppy. I was excited when I saw the display, but once I walked up close I told myself these things weren't worth $600.
The Mark II looked probably the worst of the bunch. If I had to choose one, I would probably get War Machine 1.0.

I really like what they did so far. Of course, those are prototypes and far from being perfect but so far so good.
I really see myself getting them all since I really like the 1/4 format but certainly not at $600 piece.
They are living in denial. Even if they target a small niche of really wealthy collectors, there is no way they are going to sell many of these figures.
Why? Because there is a disconnect between cost and value.
I could purchase them at $600 piece but I would feel robbed for the value I perceive.
I think they should be in the $300-$400 range, then I'll get them all.

The quality isn't there yet for $600. I have to see a lot of detail pictures before I would pay that much. And then I saw the price of Hot Toy's Igor lol
This hobby has been getting very expensive.

I'm still not content with their quality, but I do appreciate the time you took to put the video together. It helps all of us who are still debating. 
I took a picture of every single 1/4 figure. Front and back. You can view the entire gallery here...

Gemini and Heartbreaker look pretty good IMO but dumping $1200+ on just two figures isn't something I want to do.
