Queen Studios Battle Angel Alita Doll Body 1/4 Scale Statue

[ukshaun]

Queen should take a leaf out of HMO's book, and make use of eye's that insert from the rear, rather than relying on factory painters to paint eye's on par with the proto.
With Alita, the eye's are so so important.

Looking at the Queen studio's pictures, i am not sold on the demin trousers, as the fabric pattern looks out of scale.
Hair sculpt looks less than impressive. If ever there was a piece that should feature real hair, it is Alita.
Who knows, maybe JND will offer something in the future.
I am also surprised Hot Toys switched from real hair to sculpted hair when it came to their 1/6th scale figure.

On a more positive note, the base looks good

I agree on the clothing. Considering the relative simplicity of the clothing style, it would have made more sense to go fully sculpted. I mean, it's a pullover and jeans....

Now I've compared it to the movie, the white collar is way too big and it should look like a t-shirt, not what we'd call a jumper (I know some countries don't call it that). Bottom line is that the clothes look like hot toys

I myself prefer when Hot Toys goes sculpted hair. I have near to a hundred of them, and most of the rooted hair pieces look.... well, not up to par.

Unfortunately, whenever you go fabric for smaller scales that is nearly always a problem (see Hot Toys, or even worse offenders are those newer Star Trek figures).

Heck even with sculpted it can be an issue, as until very recently imo most studios haven't been able to produce sculpts with the necessary fine and tiny details needed for fabric.


(And I also refer to it as a jumper).

This is a must for me. I'm in.

For all the criticism, this is still much better looking portrait than either the Prime 1 statues.

The Demin trousers should be made from thinner Demin, be slightly looser. By using thinner Demin, it should allow for more folds, creases.
At the moment the Demin fabric appears to look 1/1 scale

Full sculpted would have made more sense and then it would have been really really difficult for me not to buy the statue.
I've been waiting for this exact statue to put next to the Prime 1 Alita.
Such a pity. Pass for me

Of course, they could be using clothes as they are removable with a full doll body underneath - which would up the price but I would like

This sort of statement could apply to pretty much any piece released that utilises full fabric clothes on scaled pieces, be it figures or statues; as the majority of them usually have this kind of issue.

That's subjective, the P1 is a very good piece, queen's nose looks inaccurate to me if you look at how it should be
