So I received my Big Daddy and art book today. It was a day that started with a care package from Ubisoft, which included random Haze, Naruto, and Rayman goodies (thank you SF office!), but was quickly overshadowed by the box 2K finally deemed me worthy enough to receive.
I must say, I was rather impressed with the improved craftsmanship on display in the new run of Big Daddies. It's a little difficult to tell from the low quality shots, but there is a stark contrast in the amount of detail on the replacement. The copper hue's are a lot deeper, and the backside of Rosie is textured a whole hell of a lot better. The entire mold just looks and feels like it was created with more care than the initial release.
On the art book, if you have seen the .PDF version of this, you're really not missing out on anything, unless physical art books are your thing. It was a nice gesture.
