I can't imagine displaying her in anything other than a black cabinet using a warm white spotlight for lighting.

Eyes look a bit buggy to me for some reason.

The paint job looks atrocious to me - like she went to Mexico and laid down on her stomach at the beach, fell asleep for 8 hours in the blazing sun, got severely burnt and then tried to cover it up with bronzing lotion.

Or like that episode of Friends where Ross goes to the spray tan machine and ends up super dark on one side and nothing on the other.

Luckily, the worst of it is the back of her, so maybe she'll still look good front on.

I just watched the video, and.. (drum roll)

I like it!
Quite a number of small pieces to assemble.

Sculpt is great. Regular paint is well done. But the shading is awful. At least it can be hidden by a display angle.

Agree that the "Sideshow shading" looks bad. Sideshow, just let the natural shadows do their job - there is no need to have this.

Besides the shading and the paints on and around the eyes, the statue looks pretty good.

I watched the video again and noticed they did the ?sideshow shading? on the back of her head too. So most of her pretty blonde hair is tinted brown.

Did you catch her legs while still in the box? It's like she's wearing stockings!

So glad the shading was noticed a while back in another video. I would have lost my NRD on this one.

Future Grail, guys!

Are you blind? This is a masterpiece. Godbottle once again GOATed. Even the deliberate crazy paint scheme by Sideshow is magnificent. It is ofc not for casuals, it is different and your eyes can't get into it.

Nevertheless, this is a future grail.

It reminds me of Dejah Thoris PFF which is nowadays nearly impossible to get (bearing in mind also that the market is currently struggling).

This is Dejah Thoris 2.0

Mark my words, guys.


Is there ANY comparison between this sculpting masterpiece and that ATROCIOUS Big Bowen, TOTALLY TOY-ISH looking (when painted) WW 1/3 by LBS?

Get this piece NOW, its aftermarket price is going to follow Dejah's path.
