You and I are this thread's last hope for a quality product! Mine is currently on a UPS truck headed my way.

Based on the latest round of pics though...we're most likely screwed. If they can't even get the bars on the helmet right for other people than I'd imagine we have lots of flaws and defects coming our way.

Also...those NECA Isaacs look pretty good....

And its a huge shame that this piece is turning out so poorly. The prototype was gorgeous. I was going to pre-order Commander Shepard (sp?), Master Chief, and Naked Snake but now I'm leaning towards hanging on to my money if QC is that poor.

Too bad. I have Kratos, the latest Lara Croft PF, and I just picked up the Lara Snow Day and they are all spectacular. This company can do better.

all I can suggest.. send it back with a complain letter.. let them know they can not charge whatever they feel to charge and drop down in puncto Quality. I know you guys who ordered him really wanna keep him.. but dont let them do with you whatever they want.. Make a statement
I couldn't have said it better Raas. The helmet situation is atrocious.

They really f'd this up. I noticed last night that mine has more than a handful of light leaks in the helmet.

Mine just came in, will open later today and show pics. Can hope and dream I get an awesome one but probably not.

Yeah the NECA ones are pretty cool, specially for the price back when they were around, but joints kill it for me.

By first look I think I belong to the lucky ones! Only minor issues which don't really bother me and at least someone can't tell those issues without detailed examination of the statue.

- Isaac is gorgeous overall!
- I haven't any breakage issues at all.
- The helmet unlighted is a bit awkward. And I think this goes for every Clarke out there. He is inteded to be lightened up so I will never switch off mine.
- The worst issue of my Isaac is the stasis painting. Health bar is even better than stasis! Not that the health bar is excellent...Since they didn't light those things up we all knew it wouldn't be that good no matter what. The stasis meter seems like the blue paint was finishing, they hadn't more paint and it has like a "white" appeal.

I would also like to give a little tip:

This statue is a real pain to assemble. Needs time. In first try one foot was off and didn't fit inside the "pedestal" so I couldn't light him up and I was very pissed...but after little try and time I understood that the trick is to slowly try to fit both of his legs simultaneously to the leg-bases and he will seat as supposed to. I mean if you put one leg first and then go for the other than you loose...period!

You will have to excuse my pics which are about to come but I only have a crappy camera and I only post so as others who have ordered him will be helped in a way or another.

Bottom line: I am very pleased with my Isaac Clarke statue, thank God!
