Let me help you. If you feel personally attacked by my opinion, in response to your opinions.....then I openly apologise. I don't know you personally, and while I might not agree with your opinions on products I have no desire to make your time in this forum unpleasant.

ha ha, to start a drama?, not really. Personally attacked by you ?, even if you have quoted me multiple times in an unplesant manner, don’t give yourself too much importance. Critical probably wasn't the good choice, in French it is, maybe not in English. But thanks to you, I hope to continue to improve in your language.

I'm always happy to help a fellow forumite.

Whilst this particular statue isn't for me it's great to see someone putting out silicone 1:3 statues again. They look to be a big step up from the cinemaquettes of old, looking forward to see what they put out in the future.
Hopefully they keep edition sizes low so they can keep the production quality as high as possible.

Wonder Woman, it looks like she is having a bad hair day. It fails to sit right. The recent Catwoman gets away with it more as the hair is straight. I have no plans on ever picking up a statue with real hair.

100%

No hair, no glass eyes, no cloth capes, no silicone.

Fully sculpted or fail.

I totally understand if you collect comic versions, but if you want accuracy rather than just representation of a movie than pretty much all of your unwanted materials are a must imo.

I’ve collected Marvel/DC movie pieces from nearly all the providers (Sideshow/Prime 1/Iron Studios and others), and so far the Queen Studio pieces, busts in particular are so superior that they’ve lessened the impact of a lot of my older pieces in my collection that I used to think were near perfect.

Agreed.

Although, as much as I like what JND are doing right now, I hope and pray this doesn't become the "norm".....I'd be priced out of the hobby overnight.

I hope the majority of collectors think like neo225, so we can keep the ultrarealistic pieces exclusive, and somewhat rare

100%. I like what I'm seeing from JND so far and those Queen Studios and Infinity Studios silicone busts look phenomenal. Like the characters stepped right off the screen... well, at least their torsos.

First of all, thank everyone for the welcome received in the forum, thank you very much.

Regarding the difference between the 2 heads, the position and shape of the eyebrows are different, the width of the mass-produced products seems a little wider. Fine brow wrinkles may look good on the prototype, but they look flat on the mass produced ones.

I personally saw the differences between the two and quite a bit, I see the prototype and I recognize Gal Gadot as if she were there, I see the other one and yes, she looks a lot like Gal but it doesn't convey to me that it is her.

In my opinion both aren't identical, not even close. Prototype wins.

Art is subjective so you may see a big difference but I personally don’t. The fact JND basically nailed the production piece in my views from the prototype is truly an amazing feat. Like I said earlier, I’m not getting this specific JND statue but if I were, I’d be thrilled. Again though, art is subjective and you’re totally allowed to have your view my friend!
