If you don't like the proto it's time to cancel.
Sideshow GODZILLA Maquette

But that's a concern when the quality with which paint is applied is in question, seems to me like the issue people have with this Godzilla is the simplicity of the paint, odds are the final piece will look very close because the paint scheme is so simple.
Maybe that's why they deliberately kept it simple, so that people won't complain?
Maybe people can tell themselves he's just covered head to toe in grey building dust

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's a bad statue, I would have it on preorder myself if it wasn't on a wait list. I don't want to pay $800 for it but if I could use my points to drop it down to $500 I would buy it in an instant, it's just that I find Sideshow isn't very good at paint on their production pieces and for the price of this statue it really shouldn't be one flat colour. But like I said, I would buy this if it was cheaper so I could look past that.
That's a good point.

Or just do what they did in the movie and stick him in a dark room with no lighting so you can't actually see him.
Probably, there are scuffs to Godzilla's hide that could be an added dimension of paint, but it's a detail where it only works if you get it just right, slightly off and it just looks like weird dirt and odds are, that's what'd happen.

Gotta agree with most of the criticisms. Still, I saw it in person and I knew I wanted it. The price is steep, but it is what it is. I love Godzilla, it looks big and heavy, and I really want a decent Godzilla piece. I'd rather it be somewhat bland and easily replicated than be the most insanely awesome proto that everyone knows will never pass production. I wish Toho were watching over this and demanding it meet Godzilla-level standards.
Push comes to shove, I know some artists in the Detroit scene. I could always have him repainted in a very unique, custom way. Worst case, I'll mow him down with my car and sweet talk a full refund.

I don't know what "Toho Standards" are, but I'd put this on par with most official Godzilla products.

It's already on wait list.

There are other, cheaper, options. Especially for International collectors.

Yeah, I still haven't got around to watching this.... I miss Blockbusters

This. And even though the WL is possibly a ruse, waiting for a buy-now option in itself may be a gamble. I also recently found out that I have no local options.
That many cancelled orders seems fishy with an NRD.

No one has cancelled. Fake sellouts are the way SS rolls.

I'm going to wait for actual pictures from those who get it, then I'll see if its worth trying to get, I'm worried the paint job will be subpar and ruin the piece.

Seem likely. No SS stuff really sell out now. No rush

There's no doubt in my mind it's a Sideshow Collectibles business tactic.
Just like what they're doing with the P2 Maquette cancellation.
