To be honest, it looks like a work in progress.
The body looks ok. The face, hair, could have been better.

The side-on / rear view looks more impressive than the front view.

I may just may wait and see if anyone else does the Major, I have nothing against WETA but there statues are an acquired taste, IMO, based on LOTR & Hobbit, are just not spot on, based on the Movie characters but there dioramas and creatures are Good, just not imitating a person.

I just cannot justify $449.00 + shipping for the Major, maybe the Geisha

Preordered both at bbts. No deposit required, so I'll keep track of the development. If nothing changes, I'll drop it.

@ChromeColossus:

This was indeed the case with their older statues of human characters...these days Weta have released humans with spot on likenesses...it's amazing what they have achieved these last years.They still have mediocre releases like Saruman but look up Faramir and the new Eowyn,Elrond,Galadriel statues...you'll see...this is not the Weta from 10 years ago.
