My own replica measures the same and looks like the one advertised.

I would stay away from this seller. He has been nothing but trouble for many collectorsfans. The photos he uses are NOT the items he sells! He claims to have used original props, but this is complete bogus! The quality of his items are way below par.

I bought one of reelarts idols 2 weeks ago, arrived 2 days ago. you see some smaller edges and damages from the recast, and it would need a decent repaint, but for a start its absolutely okay. you get what you pay for, and its a cheap offer. But you dont get a high professional product and a profi metallizing from the company that did the original idols. So you have to decide yourself, if you wanna have a profi prop - than you have to pay alot of more money, or just a "good enough for what I paid for" - thing. I also bought the grail, and its okay for that prize, but could need a repaint too.
After talking with someone who bought the lao che diamant, I have to say clearely:; Stay away from that one.........ist crystal like, its a bad prop with many air bubbles inside and was a shame to sell that one :=)
For me as a absolutely newbie in that prop business it was a good start. Hope that helps

best wishes
