Of course she's bored.
Do you realize how often she's asked to strike a pose on broken Greek columns and rubble?

Saw it in person at Denver Pop Culture Con and I thought it was gorgeous.

The SS portrait is gorgeous but SS screwed up the shoulders and upper arms on that statue.

Prototype face is more ‘substantial’ , that new portrait is just lacking weight.

Is the helmet head gonna have its own head or will there be a removable scalp and hair to add helmet with hair to one head?

I wll never ever understand, why companies change final product from (a very good) prototype.
I totally agree: now it is just another average statue with such a boring head.. sucks.

Well, at least you can still throw on the switch-out battle helmet.

On a side note, I'm very surprised they put a statue up for display with that nasty scuff on her uniform. Presumably the final won't have that
Now that you wrote that, I totally see Liv Tyler too. Do you remember where you read this?

I've had this pre-ordered for a while and I've always really liked the portrait.

I didn't read that anywhere, just an observation. I'm not saying they deliberately modeled after Liv, but it would make sense, a lot of sculptors use real people as the basis for their work.

Just like I see Monica Bellucci in the SS premium format WW, which I think has a perfect face btw.

Correction!

The prototype done by SS was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS

The production is subpar at best.

This XM portrait is ok, nothing special unfortunately.
