Deadshot (Will Smith) was a decent effort.

Cat Woman (Anne Hathaway) looks pretty decent. Her eye's could use more work.

Prime 1 tend to come out on top when it comes to Batman, characters with their faces covered.

With Sideshow, we got Gal Gadont WW and Flockhart Catwoman. Not to mention Rey was awful.

When Prime one nails them, they really nail them. When they dont, they are still really good. Sideshow's best efforts are meh and the failures are massive bombs.
Plus the Tom Hiddleston Loki where he looked like an 80-year old woman with a face caked with makeup.

Agreed, Sideshow's movie "accurate" pieces are so bad it's almost embbarassing at times.

With modern CAD and manufacturing techniques, the fight for top spot is extremely heated.

Arguing over who produces the best prototype is anyway redundant. The prize should go to the company who consistently manages to realise their prototype through to mass manufactured end product.

I'm not sure why p1 is getting all this praise for its movie stuff. From what I've seen, they have way more misses than hits. Their attempt at Margot Robbie is especially bad.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. I wanted that statue so bad but if I bought it I'd be second guessing the likeness.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

It's because Sideshow's movie pieces are done way worse than companies like P1, Hot Toys, Bitzway, or Iron Studios.

What I'm trying to say is P1 shouldn't be put I the same category as hot toys or blitzway. I would say most of their attempts at actors have been as bad as sideshow.

I've had 2 movie pf's from sideshow(Keaton Batman and saruman) and loved both. Saruman was especially good. Probably their best actor likeness.

And that's the problem is Saruman is like 10 years old and that was Sideshow's best likeness. They have access to all this modern technology but their movie likenesses have gotten worse while the other companies have gotten better.

The only likenesses that I can recall from P1 that have been off are the Jared Leto Joker and the Margot Robbie HQ. All their other likenesses for their pieces have been good to excellent. With Sideshow's recent movie stuff, their likeness have been very poor to fair. But that's also because movie likenesses are not Sideshow's strength. Their comic based stuff is excellent (ignoring QC).
