No they got it right, almost all the pics I've seen online from the movie show her ears, nose and lips to be painted a very subtle pink. In some scenes there's no pink at all and in other scenes it appears she's wearing bright pink lipstick. They got it just right I think, I was worried when I ordered this they would have those parts painted so bright and thick she would look like showgirl. I think it's pretty accurate.

Sarah
Normally I would, but as I said above I think we're good on this one. The lighting it messing with the colour. The scar on her face is suppose to be there, just like in the movie. I'm glad they didn't overlook that little detail.

Yes but let's see him get past my 3 headed guard dogs, pet T-Rex and sharks with lazer beams on their heads

Ya I just checked them out, lighting is definitely playing tricks here. Mine seems like a lighter application which is actually how it appeared in the movie. But Obi's darker pics are making her lips look brighter for some reason?

Well maybe his is great than, just thought it was suppose to be more purple like the other one on ears and lips because his looked lot more blue than purple but its tough to see from pictures!! Chris's still looks off on the color from pictures imo still….But From movies caps looks like they nailed her likeness!!!

What do you guys think of the base that own this or have seen it ??? I love how they incorporated the tree with the base and the back of her! They put lots of hard work in this one if you ask me and the price warrants that and its sheer size! Looks great, if this one would of had Acrylic eyes than it would of been instant order and on flex but had and have to wait!! But this one is one of best looking life size busts that they've done and some day will be in our collection! We have around ten (10) life size busts and i think this will be our 11th ……someday!! Congrats to all you guys who have this great piece of art!!! Cant believe it took them 15 years to make first Avatar movie, just hope we see Avatar 2 before 2030!!


Sarah
Maybe off a little. I think the lips are fine, but the ears could be a little darker. It's to simple a fix for me to pack this back up and send it back. I got a good buddy who's a painter that lives about 10 minutes from me and could touch this up in 5 minutes.

So it's no biggie for me. I just want an Jake bust to go with her now. You're right, for one of the biggest movies of all time there are hardly any collectibles for it

I agree, the base on this looks absolutely awesome.

I would have bought this, but the shipping to Norway is killing me.

I am glad it looks good in hand, Chris.

I thought it might have been the lighting in the pics washing out the colors a bit.

Finally caved and got this bust. Really surprised by the relatively little amount of attention this piece has received. Wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a grail once people catch on to how great it turned out. Added eyelashes to mine, which was as easy to do as everyone who already did it has said, and really makes the bust look perfect.

Nice man, those lashes make a huge difference. Who would have thought?

I think if this had a timed release with the movie it would have sold out by now.
