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.

The shading is different. I would not like it on all my pieces.
For this line, i am willing to accept it, as it offers something new.
I would take shading over forced perspective (i will probably leave those stairs in the box).

Just imagine how gorgeous this piece could have been had they just done normal skin and shading like the skin on her chest and shoulders.

I agree with the sculpt being top notch. The paint (well, actually, the ridiculous shading) on the other hand? Not so much.

Don't sugar coat it. That hair is atrocious. Even in the video they didn't offer a change to dark lighting to show it looking right. Cuts in the video are way too quick for a reason. Let's see what we get when someone finally posts pics. Yeah Forps is right the artistry of the piece is off the charts but the paint...

If this had a more even tone paint like Deja Thoris, and not the heavy handed shading, I would have got it.

Yeah buy a piece that as soon as you get it needs a repaint.
Can't believe I thought this was done well at first glance on the video. That jumping around got me.

Huh - odd double post.
And no way is this the next Dejah. That piece was flawless with great paint. This has issues - and all with the paint!
She looks filthy. All of that beautiful lace detail lost by the paint. Some part of her legs look almost bruised.

I have this ordered & paid for, I guess a in person review is the only true way I'll know if the paint works or not, hope it does
