I stand Corrected, they have done improved from the Hedy Days of Old, Much Much Better but what the Hell happened with Motoko? still has me scratching my head.

I think based on these photos GG should have gotten this project, at least GG can do SJ as Black Widow

Be Cool Phil

The price should $200 less when you consider what Prime 1 can do for a similar price.

I like what Prime 1 do with their base designs, along with XM Studios (no round wooden based blow a base)
Given how expensive XM Studios are, Prime 1 appears to offer more for less at times.

The Geisha looks great. I've got nothing good to say about the "Major" though.

The movie is due March/April so they've have timed it right. Beats having to wait a year+ after the release. For all we know, the statue(s) having been in production for months already.

I'm surprised at what appears to be a lack of photo's of the statues.

well i'm intrigued. went to bbts, the geisha and the major pre-orders have both sold out. wow, didn't see that going that fast. do hope they are still working on the major's face. that needs a bit of improvement.

One aspect of the Major that makes no sense with regards with the Weta statue
they've gone with the look of an actress wearing an outfit? (face color different to rest of body)

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I would get the WETA Major, Only if she is completely clear, Like she's wherein Therm o Camouflage, then the face sculpt really doesn't become an issue.
