From the first to last scene with Gal in the suit it was probably closer to 15 minutes, but in actual screen time you might not be far off the Mark as it’ll bounce between her and other characters on screen.

And in final act costumes which are fairly prevalent in these type of films five minutes isn’t all that bad. Heck look at the Iron Man House Party Protocols suites that Hot Toys produced ad nauseam, with some suits being on screen for 5-10 seconds!

But as to the purpose of the suit, I can’t disagree. If she was still in her weakened state then it would make sense but she wasn’t anymore by that stage, and given her newly learned flight capabilities the wings are kinda redundant and if anything probably reduced her agilty in a fight.

Yea, they made the armor seem indestructible and so prestigious, and then it wasn't. It's pretty looking though.
That’s movie trailers for you. Always take everything you see with a grain of salt. At least here I think most if not all of the armour scenes shown in the trailer were actually in the film.

Maybe it's better to not watch the movie if you pre-ordered this statue.

Honestly, it was why I didn't preorder anything related to this armor until I saw the movie. It was too specific to this movie and if I didn't like it for some reason...

Ok just watched it and thought it was fine. She wore the suit for the entire final action sequence. Glad they did not include the wings or the helmet.

I just hop JND will release her normal bright colored 84 outfit aswel. More interested in that than the gold armor. This also because jnd does a really good likeness!

I think the big problem with a classic WW is her limbs.

Unless they can camouflage a seam with the pose, at the very least the head and upper trunk/arms need to be all silicone.

The legs they might be able to get away with polystone/resin and a great paint application, but that's less likely with the upper body.

All that silicone is going to increase labor and jack up the price- on what are already very expensive pieces from a company positioning itself as an premium brand.

That last point makes it all the more troubling to me that the one production sample I've seen in someone's hands (the Arthur Fleck) had, frankly, a jaw dropping half-assed hairline.



They put out great PR videos- but this to me undercuts all that smart salesmanship. This is the caliber of work they are actually QC'ing and sending out to customers. Their first piece even, when you would expect them to be even more hypercritical.

Fortunately for JND the owner still seemed quite happy with it. He even filled the hair in himself.

That's a barbie hairline.
All my hopes are going with Queen Studios and their very promising 1/4 DC/Marvel line. Sculpted hair and an outstanding likeness even on resin portraits. Just have a look on their Tom Holland and Gal Gadot.

that's my only problem with JND is their hairlines even on the prototype of WW it's not perfect, it might be hard to make it look realistic because of the scale but nonetheless I still think they look good

Yeah, I definitely have some buyer's remorse after watching WW84 and seeing the scenes with the golden armor.

But this statue is still gorgeous and I can appreciate it as a work of art.

The JND sculpt is clearly the best recreation of Gal Gadot besides perhaps only the the 1:1 busts topping it from Queen and Infinity Studios.
