I would prefer a slightly more gruff looking Keanu for a John Wick piece.

The face is just too smooth looking, don't like his pose much either.

That was my opinion too.

I guess that's the nature of resin statues. It would appear smooth in comparison if one is used to seeing silicone statues.

I think both likenesses are strong for the era and character they are representing. I love the first Matrix, really gets better and creepier with time but I am more partial to John Wick statue and likeness. None of them are perfect but I think the long hair and facial hair on Wick sculpt is helping the likeness appear a bit stronger as opposed to clean shaven close hair cut Neo. But character wise its Wick>Neo so I may be a bit biased

I really dig the pose on the Wick statue. Super simple, just the way I like it.

I have seen resin with some texture but it's not just texture, there should be a couple creases on his forehead and more lines on his face in general. Also kinda feel like his upper lip isn't right. I also don't like the post much either, in general I'm just not feeling this wick at all.

They both look bang on there, especially for 1/4!

The video also shows him holding a nunchaku and with his bare hand, too.

It's probably more John Wick 1 than 4, but I still think it captures the older Keanu well enough.

Agree the pose is pretty uninspired though, especially next to that badass Caine pose. And unfortunately I think you almost need a Caine alongside him to make it work, which of course makes this a much more expensive purchase.
