I was in Game over the weekend and it looks pretty good from a distance but up close (maybe anywhere closer than six feet or so) it looks, not so fantastic, shall we say. One of the guys I talk to when I'm in let me hold it and check it out and oh, boy does it
feel cheap.
What really doesn't help is that the hood has a textured pattern on the outside and the gold mask is nice enough but it seems rather cheaply molded so there's nothing going on inside which adds to the issue of seeming not great from any reasonably close distance. You might think that's just nitpicking but when a considerable portion of the mask is designed in such a way that you can easily see inside to a large area unless you light it just right, it detracts significantly from it.
Actually holding it too it caught me off guard at first how light and plasticky it felt.
If this was one of those editions that tends to be around £120 nowadays it might not seem as bad at all and might actually be pretty cool but when you think that this is listed as £280(!!!) it's absolutely inexcusable in my opinion and in fact, might be one of the best examples of recent times in my mind for showing the reason(s) why I've went off many collector's editions.
