Fantastic paint job on the EFX.
I guess what I see as different is the lineage of the casting too. It's like with the Vaders. You can paint up a PCR EFX plastic Vader which technically has the lineage to ANH but It's still plastic and a very sanitised casting. You can paint it up to look like an ANH Vader and it will look gorgeous but won't compare to say painting up a SL or TM fibreglass casting of Vader. It's a whole new level and I guess not everyone cares for that. I wouldn't trade a hundred PCR Vaders for my SL casting. Nothing compares when you have it in your hands.
If you see the RS Fett castings in detail there's a whole landscape of features that just aren't on the EFX.
Then of course you have to factor in how much you want to pay someone to spend a few weeks painting a fett up. Time is money and in China people just aren't payed what people in the west are.
I do love how your EFX has come out with a repaint though. Looks sweet.
