Why is his costume chest piece down? I do not like that at all. He'd look way better if it was still fully attached and not like he's off duty.
 
Did a little comparison. What do you think?

A lot of angles but the one that matches that reference pic the most is SooSoo’s. SST heads are great but the V heads were beautiful. Still, have SST pre ordered & still can’t wait till it’s ready.
That's the best I could do :D
 
I swear this company doesn't make things for collectors, they make them for fans of the media outside of the hobby who don't know how much these things should cost.
 
I really don't know what they're thinking with these prices. I just bought an Endgame Thanos from TW for 270€ (I also used some reward points and coupons and such and brought him down to ~180 but you get the point; that was the starting price). Patrick Bateman and the Godfather are around 270$. In what world does Homelander, especially one made by Star Ace of all companies, deserve the goddamn 300$ price point? Oh, not to forget, 90$ for that extremelly valuable and great plastic base... I like Homelander, he's an enjoyable psycho and I'd have liked a figure of him from Asmus or something, priced at maybe 250$ with a couple of extras. He's not exactly a classic character, he's a fun Flavour Of The Month. Still, he made enough of an impact for me to have him on my list. But this thing? Jesus. Look at the midsection. I get it that the actor's wearing prosthetics for bigger muscles, but the figure represents the character, who is supposed to be a "Superman". Why the Hell do his abs look like someone stuck a pack of beef from the freezer under his suit?

The hands look like something you'd find on a Hasbro. No, scratch that, a Chinese knock-off toy at a bazaar. No wash at all. The Hell's up with this head?

Who's he, Retardlander? Homelander's mentally challenged clone? I'm being a bit too hard, but even a pic with no professional lighting from the actual show looks better:

Major pass. I'd probably have passed on it either way, considering we've got Spider-Geddon coming (Tobey, Ock & Goblin for me), Kenobi, all my existing POs, then MoM and so on, but it's the asanine prices that irks me. For 270$ you're getting all this (plus a 1:1 Card) for the Bateman figure:

I thought that was a bit steep from a new company, but still POed because I liked what I saw (all they need to do is thin the pain on the heads). However, Star Ace sure knows how to "exceed all expectations"...
 
It really looks like it's a Phicen M34 which is about $80 depending on where you buy from. Seems like they're passing those costs on to the collectors rather than working out a deal with Phicen. Lazy on their part and costly for buyers to not just do some RnD to create their own muscle body.
 
Expected bad but they really one-upped themselves. The detail is 1/12 scale level.

$300.........................
