While it looks better in the Sideshow unboxing, I do agree with rocbolt that the sculpt quality is a downgrade from the prototype - I'm just not sure yet as to how much of a downgrade. At this point not enough to cancel my order. And if they do a Thunderbolts version and the sculpt is superior I can always upgrade this figure with that sculpt.
This is who I thought of as well.
Agreed, the prototype was incredible - even in those on-display store photos with the harsh lighting. Huge downgrade in the final product, unfortunatelyIts amazing how different it looks with the bland production paint and the bit of extra softness. Really lost it in the eyes though. I last ditch ordered this with all my old points, not sure I still want it in this state. Don't know what else I would put my points on either though, was really hoping we'd have seen more Black Panther characters by now
Because they used one of the prototype images for that thumbnail instead of the final product
Well, yes, but it’s the same sculpt and it looks great in the video. The only difference I see, besides lighting, is the eyes seem to be slightly closer to the bottom eye lid than the proto shots.Because they used one of the prototype images for that thumbnail instead of the final product
Agreed. Looks solid - bring on Flo!
Yeah- that’s how her eyes should have been sculpted. Not totally wired and hyper focused.
Oh it's definitely the same sculpt, the paintwork has just taken a major dive. I don't think it's bad, I just don't think it captured the next-level work of the prototype.
Sideshow included a side-by-side at the end of their first look video - they do look good together!
Paintwork looks amazing on that proto for sure. I’m hoping it’s just the lighting in some of those photos thats caused the production piece to look not as good.
IMO ..it’s the lighting that some of these pics depict…some are bad lighting that the mascara on her eyes looks too pronounced and then you have ones that show her head with more subtle eye makeup so the eyes look more realistic IMO
