Collector's Edition Statue problems

[adamhm]

Hello, today I received my Collector's Edition and I'm from Spain too (coincidence? xD):

The wound in the griffin generates a "rectangle" of blood... ¬¬

Spoiler

Mine has this as well, just another example of the dismal paint job on these

I'm getting worried about this: Should I cancel my CE pre-order ? I already have the game on GoG and bought it for the content and to thank the dev, but if the statue is as poorly done as you describe it ...

 

[Millian]

Wow, someone in the production chain spared serious expense here. A real shame.

I just received a response from Namco Bandai:

Good afternoon,

Thank you for contacting us. The figures have been produced by CD Projekt, as we only distribute the game but talk to them to tell us if the quality is not what it should and how to fix it.

A greeting,

I'm a bit torn on this and unsure if I should find it acceptable. Sure from up close mostly Geralds face is really bad but from the distance your generally gonna look at the statue it looks fine.

Whats your opinion on the statue I got guys?

I think that quality is unacceptable (in my opinion)

I just see this one in the "Has your Witcher 3 Collectors Edition Shipped yet?" topic:

http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/36269-Has-your-Witcher-3-Collectors-Edition-Shipped-yet?p=1674298&viewfull=1#post1674298

So... no. Yours is not acceptable.

Ps: Just a comparison between the figure posted in that topic and mine:

ok.ive looked at loads of other images and videos of those sent to review sites etc... and ours are in a different league to theirs.
the detail shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84wFRnwGPmc uploaded 22 Feb 2015 blows mine out of the water along with the fact i have bubbles and bit missing from mine.
i'm getting the feeling, HQ statues were sent out to review sites to sucker us in to buying LQ versions.so fraud for want of another word.
still waiting on a response

they should have gone with mass production PVC and factory painting than hand crafted figures really and bring the price down to 99 bucks. I am not expecting quality like this http://images.goodsmile.info/cgm/images/product/20141107/4719/31283/large/b10c44efddf1ecc2edd9f24ad6ab7efc.jpg honestly for the price but this just make me sad. Anyone also noticed that the face griffin looks better than Geralt lol. Overall looking from a distance is probably decent but not close up.

 

[DarkJaden]

I waited more quality for this edition, same Vinyard82's statue minimum

I agree .some of those PVC manga figurines look amazing.
hard to say what looks better,my Geralt looks like a male version of Jocelyn Wildenstein,but my Griff had really bad acne as a teen and is left with pockmarks lol

 

[FullMetalPanicNL]

When I take a look at my Batman Arkham Origins figurine the detailing is a LOT better I must admit. Maybe they should have gone with Pure Arts instead of uDock.

From the OPs post it seems the lighting is making it look worse

No sarcasm. I would like that my statue were equal that yours. Excuse me, my english is bad

 

[Felipefiq]

So, any words from CDProjektRed? They really should fix this, the quality of these figures are outrageous! Nothing even near to the review units.

 

[Vinyard82]

CDProjekt RED says that we have to contact with Namco Bandai: http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/36765-what-the-f*-Geralt-Figure-(CE)?p=1674787&viewfull=1#post1674787 and Namco Bandai says it's a matter of CDProjekt RED: http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/36765-what-the-f*-Geralt-Figure-(CE)?p=1677011&viewfull=1#post1677011

Mine seems better than most pictures I've seen on here, but still I expected more from it as well. I basically paid 100 euros extra for all the bonus stuff, let's say 60-70 covers the cost of the statue. For that amount you can usually buy something with a better quality than this.

 

[Galneryus]

It's really hard to tell due to the flash of light on his face. Does yours look like mine? Or is it worse?
