PCS The Howling 1/3 statue in the works

[qz33]

Jokes aside this looks fantastic!!
No I would not want this in the clinic setting especially for a piece to stand the test of time. Much prefer the woods.
I have to give credit where credit is due. I must side with PCS here and say I cannot imagine how this could be any better.
Who knows what China will turn in even for that high $2,600 price but c'mon.
Look at these!!!! From these pics this is top quality!!

After the bait and switch with the eyes on the old Lord of Darkness (I know, "old management"), I'm wondering what we'll get here, because the proto looks unreal.

Yeah I figuring out what downgrades would still be acceptable is the buyer's challenge. For $2,600 off center eyes will NOT cut it on this.
That is why I indicate the Chinese Factories all the time around here.

There's just a huge disconnect between these statue design houses and the assembly line that is extremely difficult to overcome no matter the management.
Deceit and deception are ingrained in China's business culture. For statue factories, bait and switch, cut corners, take what you get is standard operation. Even breakage claims don't bother them because they KNOW the American will be back or just replaced by a different company and they will recoup any expenses.

The description does not specify anything about the eyes. I have little faith factory paint could reproduce those eyes. They'd need to be glass/acrylic.

The Prototype shown is a masterpiece! Best to pre-order using the NRD option 10% down so you can cancel if the production version doesn't stack up. You'd think at the 2,600 price tag that PCS will make sure it does! Fingers crossed!

Greg Nicotero! The golden eyes on the PCS piece look amazing.

I'm really impressed by it but I'll have to think a little longer based on the price tag.

How will the factory replicate the fur? ..as it is common knowledge, many of the statue factories chase profit over quality, and simply want to get the product out the door.

Well said. This is always back in my mind when i look over new PO.

These eyes (are not) and can not be painted of course. Very serious QC from the client is necessary with all these large scale 'non standard' designs.

I'm not surprised at the price, but if I were in on this, I wouldn't PO it just because PCS hasn't shown consistent ability to knock something like this out of the park. QC will be extremely important and 10% loss at this price tag is pretty substantial.

It's awesome looking but I just can't swing it. Price plus it's just so HUGE...and the hair/fur..I just don't know about how well it will work out.
