1/6 SooSooToys - SST-041 - The Boys - Homelight (Starlight) Collectible Figure

KGHobby: Soosootoys SST041 Homelight 1/6 figure
Giantoy: 1/6 SOOSOOTOYS SST041 Homelight Action Figure — GIANTOY action figures

Starlight revealed by SooSooToys. Looks pretty great, the skirt is a little too sheer and the headsculpt is close but no cigar. If they were to move the eyebrows up a bit and tweak the shape of the eyes it would be an amazing likeness, but as is I'm happy enough with it. Just started a rewatch of The Boys so I'm super excited about this one.

Wow Starlight's coming!!!

She's my favorite character in The Boys, so I'm really looking forward to this! I'LL have her represent TB in my collection. I think (from the promo pics) it looks good, I do see a good portion of her likeness. I also really like how they're making her in her first outfit.

Was really looking forward to this one. It looks really good! SooSoo is knocking it out of the park with these figures. Fingers crossed they do the rest of the supes.

This looks pretty decent. The figure looks less plastic than the actress these days.

She obviously had work done on her face between seasons 2 and 3.

I dunno the sculpt looks terrible to me,. The rest looks pretty good.

Probably better than the official sculpt from StarAce (based on how Homelander/Butcher turned out).

In my opinion, SoSo has a decent resemblance to Erin Moriarty.

Will there be an alternate Body Suit for Starlight?

Yeah, you're probably right.

I couldn't quite put my finger on it but I kept thinking to myself while watching the Season 3, her facial expressions were off somehow.

I definitely agree with you. If it weren't for the costume, I'd never have known it was her. I know it's more challenging to do female faces due to the lack of lines and softness, but even her most distinct facial proportions (which I appreciate have 'altered' slightly in between seasons for obvious reasons) are missing here. I don't think Soosoo are particularly great at likenesses, especially now I finally have Butcher in hand, but their overall figure quality is fantastic for the prices they charge. I dread to think what Star Ace's will look like, if they're even allowed to continue with the license.

I think the sculpt likeness is good but the expression is staring a little too much. I'm almost surprised they didn't include a second sculpt with her powers on.

She looks like she’s had a terrible realisation about something but doesn’t want to show it. Her eyes are screaming while her face is almost forcefully vacant.

Still getting her because there won’t be any other options but was really expecting a second head with the glowing eyes. This oddly intense face would probably suit that.

Butcher has two heads with different expressions, Homelander has three unique sculpts, so it’s a surprise to see her with just the one when all they’d have to do is a repaint of the eyes using the same sculpt.
Great costume though. She’ll look lovely alongside the lads.

Yeah, she seems to have the same surprised eyes they did for their Bat Lady figure. Relaxing her upper eyelids does help me see the character more (I also moved her nose and chin up a little, because her nose stands out as super dainty to me in the show and I don't think her face seems as long in reality as this figure.)

That tiny change makes a big difference in making her look like an actual human. Get this over to the SooSoo Facebook page asap! It’ll rally a bunch of support and they might actually act on it.

It always seems like sculptors are somewhat opposed to upper eyelids, either fearing they’ll make the character look sleepy or because Asian sculptors interpret westerners eye shape as being a little larger than they actually are.
I’m sure that’d be a cancellabel suggestion on Twitter but it kind of makes sense.

She looks terrified.

Head sculpt is a bit off, and hair seems chunky, but overall looks pretty good. I would have preferred her other costume, but understand why this one was chosen. Maybe SooSoo will offer the other version as well.

Wow I had no idea

Soosootoys' Phoenix had the UV paint light-up feature.
Would be good if they included this for Starlight

That UV feature would be sweet for their Dr Manhattan
