This is honestly one of the best GG statues of all time.

I'll wait until the price of Lucky gets reduced because it is a little to high everywhere you look. Great pictures man!

Lucky's eyebrowse look a little different. The badge on her headgear, is it gold?
Also, her eye's don't have that look, like there are looking over her glasses, but it could be the angle of the photo

In your photo, it almost gives the impression Lucky is looking more to the right, compare to the proto (inset)
..or it could be the eye's giving this illusion.

Also, i can only see 1 of the 7 images you posted.

I agree. So far it seems all of the faces of the production runs, with the exception of Derby, don't really match their prototypes or what's seen on the art box. Not really sure what happened to the faces of the HT line, because GG's Shanna, Black Widow, and Artemisia's portraits came out stunningly accurate to their prototypes.

Damn the face of Lucky's prototype is awesome...nut piercing eyes and all. It's unreal, unlike the production run. The rest of her sculpt, as with the rest of the others' sculpts, are on par with the prototypes.

I think that's just a case of Professional Painter vs Factory painters..

Myself and others thought the price was understandable if they could match the prototypes. The lack of facial detail on the ones I've seen compared to the prototypes is disappointing. I think that is another reason why these aren't selling well and we saw that massive price drop. They just don't have that more realistic paint detailing like we originally saw. Only the Whisper variant is exact. But I posted about how that happened some time ago since I believe we never saw a real prototype of that one.

If the price dropped considerably i'd consider Lucky. Fact is, i don't own Whisper, and only like the Red variant which sell's for a way inflated prices (on ebay atleast). I'll probably end up with just Derby and Katya, which are both stunning

I agree about price point. To me, these are an extension of the sucker punch line which were priced $299-$399.

However, These HT pieces are awesome and much better in person than pics. So many things could have been done to make this line a success. It is a shame we won't see fireball
