I don't know about that. It isn't perfect, but it doesn't seem THAT inaccurate to me.

I think this piece looks pretty damn good myself. Once more pics come in with some softer lighting I believe it'll look better but even in the few shots we have I think people are blowing the likeness issue out of proportion.

Its interesting that they added the chin strap in this movie. I kinda looks more like you would have seen in WW.

I actually like the chin strap and helmeted look of him here more compared to how he looked in Avengers. Just looks more practical and less cartoony.

I agree. I think blue strapping would have been nicer though.

I like how the chin strap matches the brown shoulder harness.

I've noticed that's kind of standard fare with statues based on actors... seems everyone first reaction is it looks nothing like the actor.. I also think you get a little bit of fan boyism with SS vs GG vs HT fans.... For me, as long as it looks good I could careless who makes it.

Personally I think both GG Black Widow and Capt America look very close to the actual actors....

I really like this costume and this statue. Gentle Giant surely knows how to produce quality products so I am very hopeful for the final result. I've been thinking on going back to collect 1:4 pieces so this might be a nice pick up. We'll see.
