I agree about the non visible scalp in the part.
That was something that bugged me with the first HS too, but there were more dominant things at the time to point out as needing more immediate attention.
I can see preferring how a photoshop adjusted version of the original sculpt might be preferable to this new one- but comparing them as is, there's little doubt to me that the new one is a net improvement.
Is it overwhelmingly accurate and an outstanding recreation of Reeve? Not at that level...
Yeah. These are the structure differences I'm seeing between the old and the new sculpts in that area.
I think they had these features down already. The problem was more perimeter proportions (width of jawline, length/width of the neck). They may have changed those for the better, but they also...
I have have a hunch anyone who is expecting an entirely new headsculpt is going to be in for a big disappointment.
What is more likely is they will simply make the necessary adjustments to what they already have.
Funny, but I've been starting to contemplate trying to get my duo switched to a...
JND did screw up with Gadot's teeth and mouth.
They are like the joke about every problem looking like a nail if all you have is a hammer.
They are so proud of their dentures, that they shove them in without studying how they should apply here.
Whether Gadot has an open, relaxed mouth, or is...
Eh. I understand what you're saying, but with a piece like this I get why some people feel motivated to make sure a contrary opinion/thought is expressed.
I'm more concerned with how well this is going to weather the shipping and manhandling from customs agents who couldn't care less about...
The irises could be darker.
What might be the biggest element affecting the (perception of the) strength of the likeness is the large diameter of the fibers they are using for the hair.
If you study Gal's portraits, you'll notice how fine her hair is. You can see it in clips from the movies...
How many times have I seen someone post in response to getting an obviously noticeably downgraded production sample
"If only we could have gotten something on the level of the prototype. It would have been worth it to pay $___ more. Now if I want that I'll have to get it custom painted which...
Here's the Cinemaquette high end silicone 1/3 figures. I think the Reeve was produced in 2010. Not sure about the Indy.
IIRC the 2010 price on Superman was $2K.
And now we get to the crux of all of this.
" You're not inviting me to the party?!?
Well, fine then. I wouldn't go to your stupid party if you got down on your hands and knees to beg me.!
Your parties are lame and all the kids who go to them are all a-holes!"
Nice to see some thoughtful conversation about this.
Others have already echoed my feelings. Even though this isn't something I want,I see no negatives here, only positives.
If the Reeve isn't improved beyond the restyled hair pic they posted, I'll simply cancel my order and await my $320 refund.
Maybe not simple as my anticipation for it by that time will be through the roof, but I'll do it.
I sent them some pics the other day identifying the areas on the revised...
