When we first heard about Figureprints, everybody seemed fairly keen to get one -- there were thousands of people trying to get in on the drawing, and lots of folks were more than willing to put down their $100 for a custom, real-life figure of their characters created directly from the in-game models.But as the Dude (if censored) might say, new stuff has come to light. We've seen the first Figureprints off the press, and the quality, so far, hasn't been impressive, to say the least. We should note that Figureprints is replacing that figure in the gallery, but we'd like to know: has all of this new information changed your mind about Figureprints?
Are you still excited to get one, or have you changed your mind from originally liking the idea to not so thrilled about the actual product? Or, like Matthew Rossi, have you said "This aggression will not stand, man," from the beginning? OK, that's not really what he said (I just wanted to quote the Dude agaIn), but where are you at on Figureprints lately? Yea or nay?

I agree that the figure looks a bit dusty but when you pick an outfit that's so dark and monotone, you're not going to see much detail. The early pictures on the figureprints website are definitely misleading, it's got a lot of lighting and pictures look touched up but the newer pictures are more representative of the final product. I'm really impressed that they actually did King's Defender quite well. I'd suggest choosing an outfit with more contrast or lighter colors. In regards to the original figure, they did a decent job with the cleavage. >_
