But hey, maybe this is enough to justify it for SSC? I don't know.
I will say regardless of the interest level, if Sideshow doesn't step up their game on actor likenesses or partner with outside help with a proven track record for accurate headsculpts this line will be dead on arrival.

As someone who wanted to buy the Gal Gadot Batman v. Superman premium format but didn't solely because of the subpar Gadot headsculpt, I completely agree.

Still curious how good this will look proto wise.
Hot Toys has been fairly successful at 1/6 with fabric so it can be done at 1/4 scale. Check out the Hot Toys John Wick and Blitzway 1/4 scale mixed media statues.

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.

OK, not an actual pic of the PF yet, but we know it's coming, and it's cute seeing Clint playing with himself.

I hate it seeing people looking so much older..
..i guess it happens to us all at some point.

Clint looked good back in the day. One of my favourite movies of his is Every Which Way But Loose (1980)

This will be tough to resist. One of my favorite films. Can remember when I first saw it with my dad in theater back in the late 70s.

Wish it was fully sculpted but we'll see.

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

He sticks his gum under the counter edge as a reflex

But he kissed to make up for it. So funny how quick he falls flat after the pistol pose. Great original movies.
