Mine came in from sideshow and a piece of the hair was broken. They were quick to arrange an exchange and she’s on her way back. Hopefully the next one is good!

If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?

Was thinking about ordering one of the Queen Studios statues, but not so sure now. This statue for me is no question, nailed the likeness - from the pictures and videos of the Queen Studios statues, from most angles, it's just not there for me.
Queen are going to tweak the likeness but I do agree, iron studios nailed the likeness

Dang! That stinks. Glad they are hooking you up with a replacement. Hopefully next one is perfect!

IMO the profile of the portrait looks nothing like ScarJo... From head on the likeness is not to bad but I'm a little surprised that Iron Studios didn't nail this one likeness wise... usually they excel at that....

Funny enough my BW box had a small piece of broken hair floating around in it. Having studied the piece, i cannot see any missing hair. I assume it could have pinged off another piece while it was being packed and into my BW box?

I disagree, I think the portrait is probably the best yet, including queen. The hair looks a little bulky and rooted would prob be best for this look but the face looks great to me

I feel the same but we are definitely in the minority.

That said, everyone sees something different. Some love the QS version, some don't. Same with this one. No real right or wrong answer.

Sure amazing to have so many options for collectors to buy what fits best in their collection and what likeness they prefer more though. Love so much choice available on these characters. I don't think this i one is bad or anything, just don't hit home to me. Happy for those who like it and are happy with their purchase, at the end of the day that's the only thing that matters.

Have to agree. Probably the best SJ likeness in 1/4 scale released so far. It would be good to see the Gentle Giant piece painted by the Iron Studio's factory.
