I think I'll reserve judgement until I see it in the flesh but Aza is right. It doesn't look as good as the image we've all seen on the website for the last few months.......I'm hoping it's the dodgy photographs!!☺

Was also wondering how easy it is to spot the hand-finishing in the flesh? The figure looks like it's been screened, but obviously hard to tell.

Judging by those snaps, print quality has dropped since previous release.

Not knocking it, but anyone else think the man looks a little Martin Whatsony?

I think the man looks a little bit not hand finished!

if the man is screen printed, that must have been a pain in the ass to get right and whoever did the separations did a heck of a job. The spot where the left hand meets the black and off-white color especially

Picked up mine today. The boss of the gallery told me the figure is hand finished but I've not got it home to check yet.

need to see another but I'm thinking the one posted earlier, if it's not just the lighting of the photo, might have been damaged in transport- looks like some sort of friction might have rubbed some of the ink off the black
nevermind

It doesn't look right. Is it screened? Looks like It's missing a couple of screens...

Looks like It's missing a couple of screens... yes, it's screened. looking at a picture on the HGG site, disregard my earlier comments about damage... looks about right to me (it's shading - didn't remember seeing that when it was first announced). and whoever did the separations is definitely a pro. i think the printer did a nice job translating the original to print. probably as nice a reproduction as could be done by screen printing

That's interesting. I thinks, if Delloys colours are anywhere near, that it is a disgrace. I don't think it's a difficult image to get right and look forward to seeing some more of them.
Edit - reply to Fred...

Edit - reply to Fred... don't know how much of the man was printed vs screened but IF it was all printed, the part circled in red is a nightmare to print... parts of prints like those give printers nightmares - where you have to trap colors but have separations happening within the traps but I agree - waiting to see more examples before I jump to any firm conclusions on what I think about the overall quality

Edit - reply to Fred... This, of course, assumes that hat people are uploading images at a good size, and quality isn't being lost. I say this because the image Fred uploaded from HGG looks degraded compared to the one I have...

If just one shade of grey is hand painted, that might be why it looks like a few shades are missing. Edit: How many shades of grey is that?

Yeah Im a bit unsure about it to be honest hence asking for others thoughts. The only handfinishing I can see on mine is on the back of the figures jacket, which is a bit disappointing. I havent inspected it properly yet but on first inspection thought it looked as though something was missing as others have already said.
Will have a better look in light of day tomorrow and try to get some better pictures, but must admit I wasn't immediately awestruck as I am with some prints I receive.

Received today. Disappointed is an understatement. If anyone wants it for cost, let me know - yes, I know my sales patter is overwhelming. I will endeavour to return it otherwise. This is not what i paid for.

I was clinging to the hope that the pics posted weren't the best or that particular print was scuffed/damaged.......waited a long time for this one so it's very disappointing they couldn't get it right!
