'Is this false advertising?' Tekken 8 fan left disappointed at 'horrid and not at all like advertised' Fist Meets Fate statue
As PC Gamer's Tekken 8 review confirms, it is a great versus fighter that 'is a beautiful blend of nostalgia for longtime fans and a pair of welcoming arms for newbies'.

After stating 'Mine is on its way, will take pictures and post them here', rebootcomputa then proceeds to post up a pic showing the exact same finish, matching that of the original poster's figurine.
