Damn he's just so photogenic with this new armor

Yeah I was a bit resistant to the full Beskar at first, since I got so attached to his original armor, but there's no denying how incredible he looks in it. And it makes him by far the coolest looking SW character yet.

woop

was just starting to lose my “so happy for you guys” spirit it seemed like everyone except me already got theirs from sideshow.

not too bad of a wait for second(?) batch at all.

Looks too young and soft, facial hair looks like crap, just doesn't hit the mark imo. HT sculpts haven't been doing it for me as of late.

It's an amazing sculpt. The paint however....ruined it

It looks 3rd party.

It looks 3rd party.

Yep same situation as the Moff Gideon sculpt I feel. The soft paint app just destroyed the entire look of the actual sculpt, hell I have seen third party sculpts with better paint than them

Just as long as mine ships late January/February. My wait on a Loki has become ludicrous, tho not really upset, but still, with llllllloooooonnnnng delays I forget what I ordered.

Anyway I need to clear the payment decks so I can argue with myself whether to get the swoop bike or pick up Kuiil, when I want both. Decisions, decisions.

Wait, what’s wrong with the sculpt paint? I thought it looked fine in Jingobell’s blogger photos; the sculpt I agree looks soft and scrubbed of skin texture compared to the prototype, but I’m not seeing a paint fail.

There’s not anything I have a problem with the paint…in hand you can see the wrinkles and tone of his cheeks perfectly and realistically IMO the camera unfortunately doesn’t capture the fine details of the sculpt and it‘s a shame

Yeah I can see it being one that’s tough to photograph. And I haven’t seen many attempts at nice Pedro portraits yet, either. Everyone’s been doing action poses and obsessing over the beskar weathering or recreating the shot of Mando holding Grogu.

Here’s a good one by Yu nai tou that I thought was flattering. Skin texture comes through, too.

I must be honest, I've never been very impressed with this head sculpt. It's not terrible, but it's hardly their best.
When I get mine, the head sculpt will never leave the box.

 

[Luisenigma1]

Finally did the Cape Cod cleaning and HOLY JESUS! He looks amazing the chrome really pops. I did leave some slight weathering on there just to give it a more natural look. I think HT going over board with it is what makes it look bad but removing the majority of it and leaving a bit gives it a better look.

 

[jye4ever]

Hopefully I got the 3rd shift overnight holiday factory crew and they forgot to add the weathering on mine.
