I think the likeness is bang on the money - better than the life size busts (imo) - looking forward to adding this to the collection.
I still think Infinity’s original prototype was one of the best things I’d ever seen……... whereas the production piece, it dropped enough that I didn’t regret getting Queens.

Both busts have a far better likeness I think. These new pics actually don't look that good(photo quality or showing off likeness)

That thing cost $50K from a master artist so it would have been a miracle to pull off in production. I agree the Queen ended up slightly edging it out in hand.

I mean, who are we kidding here, if you have any of the above in your collection, you're pretty much set as far as Gal Gadot is concerned.

I'm always going to be biased against busts, as I'm not a bust collector. I also believe that the closer you get to 1:1 the more any slight "off-ness" is exacerbated....that said, when they get a bust right, my God, it's really right!

Anyway, I'm happy with this WW. It'll probably be the last statue I buy of Gal Gadot - at least as WW

Thanks for the photos!

This is the best Gal Gadot WW statue IMHO.

I can't wait to get mine to put it next to my JND WW84 statue!

Looks fantastic.
After Harleys bat... hopefully the weight of the shield won't be an issue.

Wow this looks unbelieveable. How much does this go for?

I have the Queen bust and the 1/2 P1. I also have this JND on order to possibly replace the 1/2, but with these new pics I am not sure. Likeness is better, but not sure double the price better and much smaller too. I would also have to get Sups and Bats in 1/3 then to replace my other 1/2s and not completely sold on Superman either.

Didn't Queen Studios state they are planning to do the JL triumvirate in 1/2 scale. Maybe it makes more sense to wait for that.

At these prices (JND prices) - not being 100% committed could be financially painful, and simply selling them afterwards (at least for the original retail price) - in the current climate - might not be so easy.

They said it years ago, but here we are. I have their Aquaman in 1/2, but no sign of them doing any others so can't count on them at this point.
