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 was so happy to see Lando and Qui-Gon but the face sculpts have been very disappointing.

Come on, it's not such a bad Robert Englund likeness.

As always we appreciate constructive feedback but saying the sculpt is "garbage" does nothing to help us improve and only aims to insult the people who worked on this project. You can do better.

It kind of looks more like a 20 year old Liam Neeson then a 48 year old one...

The portrait is not that bad, just a younger version of Qui-Gon Jinn

Thanks for these observations. I've been in contact with our developer in Japan and he'll begin to explore ways we may be able to improve the likeness.

It resembles him but I agree with improving the likeness.

Cranium is too round, and some other weird oddities in the facial structure I can't quite put my finger at with the paint applied. Eyes look beady, but that again can be the paint and lighting. Skin looks a bit over tanned.

I don't mean disrespect, but that's just what it is. Koto has done better. It would be best to redo it, or better yet get the Hot Toys sculptor to give feedback.

You can easily top Iron Studios' mediocre but serviceable sculpt.
