Agreed. The body sculpt is what lifts it above the amazing previous Sideshow Red Sonja

So how come this perceived issue hasn't been spotted by almost anyone else? I mean, from your post, it seems like you're suggesting this is a clear and obvious issue.....but struggle as I might, I can't see it.....maybe it's the inverse of "The Emperors new clothes".

There is a bit a wandering eye on the pic in the last page tbh, fair chance u won't notice when u r not so close

I think the hairline is improved in the production piece.

I don't think it's a bad thing that someone points it out, I do see it myself.... It could just be that one statue and all the other production ones are fine... who knows, but it doesn't hurt for collectors to know about a "Possible" issue so they can check their statues out when they get them to make sure..

I don't know why your so ultra sensitive to anyone pointing out a flaw or possible flaw on SS statues.. Did you just get a job with them recently or something?

While the eyes are slightly at off angles, I think the inclination of the head and the strand of hair over the right side of the face will both serve to mask it to a large degree.

I may be wrong, and I'll only see for sure when it actually shows up, but that's my take from the pics.

I don't think it will be a big problem, nor do I have a problem with anyone pointing it out.

I've spent more time looking at the eyes. Maybe the slight issue isn't the right eye looking too far to the right. Maybe the left eye should be looking more to the right than it is, to align it more with the right eye.

The eye's on the prototype appear to be looking towards the same place. Which is perfect.

At this point, the quality of piece will be determined by each collector who gets the piece. So, rather then this tedious amateur Sherlock Holmes investigation based on photos, can we move onto owners impressions and reviews?

Well, people will comment on the quality of the piece once the piece comes out, and once folks receive it. Until then let folks say what they want. There’s no reason to mind it so much, he’s free to share his observations.

I’d rather there be more conversation, in whatever direction, than censoring others. It shall be mine either way!

[Silas Loki]

It's not about censorship, or not wanting to hear positive or negative opinions. I was expressing my own opinion regarding the tedium of having to read through petty "observations" on a percieved lack of quality.

I get that people want a "perfect" product, but there has to be a line drawn somewhere.

As I predicted, we will now have page after page of debate on a percieved issue that, until it was placed under the microscope, was perfectly fine a few posts back. Yipee, that will make this thread fun.

The last thing I will contribute on the subject is this: There's a fine line between having a critical eye, and "nit picking". One of these things is useful - the other is downright tedious and annoying.

That's why I'm ok with the REG on this one. I don't need the fabric war banner that comes with the EX.
