Hey look, it's one of those annoying preview images where they distort the picture so you can't properly see the sculpt!

Um, I thought that was just a drawing (slightly Picasso?) when I first saw it.  Is it considered artistic to distort an image like that?

Pretty silly, I think. :-)

I've been asked to share a close-up picture of the heads.

While I can overlook many of Gilbear's quite justified quibbles, tis sad the chaos marks couldn't have been left to decals.  :(

I have no use for them, but I like that someone make chaos IG based on the old RT IG figs.  I think that many of the design choice quibbles that folks have about these might not be much different than the shortcomings of the old figs.

I am not fond of the boots though.  Straps and buckles would be far more imposing than luchador lace-ups.
