Unfortunately, I definitely can't see Audrey Hepburn there because of those eyes, which is a dealbreaker for me, but it's a beautiful statue indeed.
Glad to help

Thanks for posting pics.

Must of been an exciting couple weeks for you, getting both Blitzway statues this week (this Audrey Hepburn and the other GOT Danerys, technically a collaboration by Blitzway/Prime 1).

I'm getting the statue delivered this week, looking forward to seeing it in-person.

Thx, I'm happy for you too.

Btw, the plastic foam packaging used by prime 1 and blitzway is really frustrating, always leaves a mess after unpacking.

I think she looks great. Will be a couple more months until I get mine. The packaging is pretty clever, I was worried the box would be huge.

Mine arrived this past week. It comes with instructions cautioning about taking care of inserting the right handlebar grip into the grasping hand and yet I still managed to snap off the pinky this evening. I reattached it with 5-minute epoxy, sanded the seam carefully and brushed it with pastels. It won’t be noticeable to the casual observer but I’ll always see the flaw.

Because the statue just sits on the Vespa as mentioned held in place by the hands, and the Vespa in turn is kept upright by the kickstand, I just wish these were better secured by thick pins between the butt and seat and between the wheels and the base.

Since they're also selling the Vespa on its own, I guess they didn't want any ugly pegs on it.

The Star Ace Holly Golightly 1:4 turned out disappointing too.

Audrey is a tough one to get right.

Hmm, IMHO, massively underwhelming portrait on this.

I'm done with expecting quality production pieces from Blitzway. Sure, like EVERYONE else, they can knock out a reasonable to good prototype......but all bets are off when it comes to final production.

On one hand it's sad, because with more care, this company could have been a contender.....on the other hand, it's great - it's one less company to watch, and this saves me money
