Nope, we have 4 days left for anything if she'll be displayed.

Well, I have a $25 coupon I can use on her that expires July 29, so if production is ----ty enough that I would want to cancel, I guess it's only a $30 NRD loss (assuming no delays, which would negate the NRD).

Dejah Thoris is going to be interesting in the light of how Starfire PF went from prototype impressive to full Oompa-loompa orange flat skin.





A couple of screen caps from Sideshow Con 'By Request' Booth Tour - Monday, July 20th at 12pm PT | Sideshow Con 2020

Possible production piece. They did not answer the question fully. My guess it is a production piece. First of all the green starbolt looks way more green than the prototype, and the Starfire's skin tone applears to look way more orange. Blame it on the camera/lighting, but paint finish looks flatter.

The piece is coming in sooner than expected. I am not sure if this covers both Reg and EX.

Here is how the prototype looks:

Starfire has to be production bc she has none of the shading/highlighting of the original. No way do you lose that shine on her skin all over her body even with bad lighting.

Also, the necklace went from jewels to no jewels.

I hope Dejah does not face the same fate.

Don't forget the green color of her flaming onion

The jewels look odd like they are in rather than popping out? how can a 3D model change that much?

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

the cell phone live video the Let your Geek Sideshow FB mods just did was much better quality video than the official sideshow tours. I'm not sure what camera the SS tours are using but the pick up a ton of light and wash everything out. You can look at Gem Mint's 4k video tour of the Sideshow con on you tube and see his amazing quality video form the first day.

I don't really trust any footage from the SS video tours as a definitive example of quality. I think the finer details are getting washed out. Even Jason Todd on Scarecrow's base looks like he has smooth skin.

In his interview Will Harbottle mentions this being one of his first times as a contributing art director, and how it was one of the more
difficult projects for him since Voltron. Hoping that weighs heavily on SS to produce the perfect final version of Dejah for us
