The fact remains that the digital painting doesn't stand up under close inspection like the hand-painted process does. That's a valid criticism, especially for those of us who like to our photograph figures as well.

That pic looks lower-res overall than it you were holding it in-hand. Also, in that shot the eyes still look soft.

Just sport arguing here, but when I said "unnecessary reactions" I meant that the average, casual, IMO majority of collectors - will never see the dots because they don't hold close and inspect. All they care about it how it looks on a shelf at a distance. When I take the pics the way I do, it amplifies any issues. So it triggers immediate discussion on the new technology since it is weird at the macro level.

Whatever the reaction are, I'm ok with. I just don't want to trigger them unnecessarily, which is what I was pondering out loud about.

If this face paint style is really undesired and regularly poorly executed, the fans will speak with their wallets and it will improve or go bye bye soon enough.

Personally, every one I've had has been executed without misalignment or errors, and better than the equivalent paint job. At arms length.

Nothing will beat the painters on Hot Toys, and Oldboy CTTS style stuff, but we weren't getting that on Hasbro and Tamashii figs.

As for doing text only reviews - haha no way, I barely write anything now. If I remove the pics it will be shorter than this post. I like to let the pics speak for themselves. If I could just post up 100 pics and say LOOK HERE PURDY PICS I would.
