Likeness wise, not a patch on the Blitzway 1/4 piece.
The 'soft' detail on the white dress looks like cake icing. Is that a massive seam half way down the statue?
The neon logo looks interesting.

Not to mention the glaring one under her jawline.

Terrible. Portrait doesn't look like Marilyn, and that neck seam. Woof.

Agree. The likeness is not quite there. And for this type of statue the likeness is key.

Honestly, I find myself wondering, what were they thinking? This should not even have gotten to the promo pic stage

Don't know why some manufacturers would still bother to produce statues of old Hollywood movie stars over and over again.

How many collectors here would actually order this piece even if the likeness is 100% spot-on?

There must be a market or they wouldn't make them. The Sideshow Clint Eastwood pieces are apparently selling well, as 7 of 8 are waitlisted.
