Sideshow Collectibles - Starfire PF (regular 0113/1000)
Some of out the box snap-shots. Shot using a basic 7.2 pixel camera under room lighting.
Starfire from Sideshow Collectibles arrived on my doorstep today. Literally on my doorstep. The
driver telephoned from outside and told me he had left the box on the step, then dashed off. No
signature required. I guess he was in a hurry. More importantly, the box was in great shape!
In person, Starfire looks great. First things first, no googly eyes, although the eye direction is
slightly different compared to the prototype, which appears to be looking right/upwards. My
Starfire is looking right, not upwards.
Skin tone. Sideshow (the factory) has nailed it. Not too orange, not too regular skin tone, not too
dark. Somewhere in between. The metallic purple used on the body suit and boots looks perfect.
The clear red jewels work well. The green starbolt, pops!
The Colors used on the flame look intense, more intense than my photo’s show. The blend from
Starfire’s hair down to the base has been handled expertly. On the subject of the base, the seams
look ok in person. No complaints there.
Hands. Sometimes, hands on ¼ PF’s can look cheap. No sign of cheapness with Starfire’s hands.
They are both nicely painted, as are the finger nails.
Comparing the Prototype to the Production. I would award the factory 10/10
Congrats to all at Sideshow Collectibles for making Starfire happen, and to Steve Lord for such an
amazing sculpt.
