I noticed this just went on waitlist. Im a big GoT fan with team Daenerys. Normally I would be freakin out and pullin the trigger. But I just cant get behind the statue with the likeness only being 85% accurate and not looking almost at all like Emilia Clarke. Plus people are going to need to put this behind an acrylic case or glass door, cuz theres gonna be some consistant maintenance keeping her fabric dress clean. Think Im pretty stuck on my gut instincts from avoiding the purchase. Really dont know why prime 1 is so thick headed and couldnt resculpt the portrait to get it right? What a bummer.

Room would be a issue for me. I cant think of where I'd place a 2x2 ft statue.
I agree about the likeness. A dead on portrait would have been a must have and figure out details later.

Kim has a lot of work to do, I don't think she would have the time to go back again trying to achieve some level of perfection that might be unreachable.

I don't think getting this likeness (or any likeness) is that easy as just going back and redoing it.

I can see exactly why they moved on and accepted the latest version is as much as they could get from trying.

It's really not that bad, people exaggerate the likeness on this piece not looking like her.

I just dont understand how the photos they have up to advertise the piece looks just like her, but the actual piece doesn't, it's only small things like the eyes etc... that seem fixable, but for some reason they refuse, when I first saw it I was all in, until the actual product was show, and they could have done better, I've seen much cheaper pieces have a closer likeness, if this was a $100 dollar figure ok maybe, but for a $1200 statue you can and should expect a better likeness, it's just really confusing to me, the company has a chance to sell a ton of these things if they fix her face, but apparently they just dont care

P1 might be starting to get the Sideshow disease. Stop caring about the product and just shove it out the door.

With this being on WL already, I hope they make another Dany in a colored dress. Blue would be nice.

It's only on WL at Sideshow - who knows what their allotment is. Prime 1 hasn't even announced an ES.

I'm just hoping we get more than one piece out of the license. I'm a little concerned that this could end up being just a one-off.

Possibly. She's definitely the easiest character on the eyes. An armored Mountain would be cool.

Release was delayed through Prime 1 to October 2020 and I more than expect another delay announcement coming in the next few months.
