Quoted from RealityCheck:I think you're smoking something if you think this is amazing work by any means. Or maybe you're just not familiar with the quality of work done by artists like those at places like Sideshow Collectibles and Gentle Giant. That's quality.
This is a pinball toy with very different requirements than a collectible. They aren't the same and shouldn't be compared to one another. Let's compare it to other pinball toys. In that case, Smaug wins.
Quoted from RealityCheck:It may "just" be pinball but it now has a price tag in the 8k-9k price range (more than double from just a decade ago) mainly because it is billed as being the highest quality. Im just saying this sculpture doesn't live up to that. Many other aspects of the machine do.
Luckily, nobody is paying 8-9k for just a Smaug head pinball sculpture, but they are getting the best looking head sculpture in all of pinball with their 8-9k purchase.
