Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I think the head shape is more about the camera focal length between photos. Mine is already en route, so too late to back out now. I’ll pass my own judgment when she arrives!

It's interesting... If you look at the real photos, the final piece does not look as bad but it is not as nice as the prototype...

What do you guys think?

Man, I'm disappointed.

This is still a really nice piece, but the portrait doesn't hit it for me and the paintjob is not where it needs to be.

Reluctantly passing. Maybe I'm getting too picky these days.

I actually think the color of her face might be more accurate to the movie on the production piece. I'm pretty sure the pale tone isn't showing up well in that close up...looking at the other pictures you can see she has pale skin. I'd argue that the proto was too white.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I think she is gorgeous!!! If I was going to have one gripe. It’s that I don’t get to witness this beauty faster.

From my initial thoughts, just based on the Facebook photos, it appears that the chiseled features around her mouth that were portrayed in the "prototype" were not carried over to the "production line" (please see red arrows in attached photos). Let me preface by stating, I will not know for certain until my statue arrives next week, but just from an initial observation, those sharp features around her mouth and cheeks appear to be missing judging against the Facebook photos along with the shape of her eyes that also appear to be different. I also agree with "Sonic Boom's" earlier post........Her facial articulation appears to project happiness instead of a devilish expression which was portrayed in the "prototype".

With all that said, I still like what I'm seeing with this statue and I'm really looking forward to receiving this piece.

Don't get me wrong. It's a beautiful portrait. But it doesn't scream Michelle P. Only thing I don't like is the egg shaped between the ears.

@The Merovingian poor lighting might be playing a part. It probably is playing a major part.
I wonder how the factory piece would took under the exact lighting used to shoot the prototype?

No amount of of lighting would alter the direction her eye's are looking in.

Absolutely; I agree with you. As stated in my post, I will not know for sure until I receive mine next week.
