The MKX Coarse one was FANTASTIC. I can't believe people prefer the other statue. The coarse one has a nice simplicity but also very clean sculpt. The statue looks exactly like how it was advertised. Pure quality through and through:
The journal that came with Uncharted 2 CE was really impressive. It was pretty much a re-creation of Drake's journal in the game.
That's good to know. I really thought it looked great in the promo shots. Had this DC Animated Universe look going on.
Unless the figure is from a known manufacturer e.g. Koto, I don't really bother. It's hard to even say the price reflects given how jacked up CE prices have gone (and how awful the figures are).
If you want high quality figures/statues, you pretty much have to go the specialist route, and that's where Action Figure GAF can help.
The Japanese CE are still top tier though, usually.
Overall, crappy figures, sample soundtracks, tiny artworks are big turn offs. And stickers/tattoos...
