The model is awesome. Initially, the seller uploaded the wrong model, so I had to contact them about my concern. The seller responded fairly quickly and instantly resolved the issue. In other words, have no fear because you will receive the model that is in the pictures! Ultimately, I am really happy with my purchase. From the photos, it was obvious that it was meant to be an approximation of what the head looked like in the anime, but I am really impressed with the proportions. The artistic liberties taken do not detract from the iconic silhouette when moving it around from various angles. Again, such an awesome model!
