There appears to be paint missing from the strap. They should make the eye's smaller (the prtotype has white below the pupil) and sort out the 'caterpillar' eyebrows. The lip color does not appear to extend to the left and right mouth creases.

Would anyone who has this mind measuring the base? I'm wondering if it will fit in a Billy shelf from Ikea. I've got about 11" in depth for the doors to close.

Out of interest, is the statue numbered ?
If so, what was the number of your Maggie ?

To be fair, you guys are using a terrible close-up photo from a camera phone to base your judgement of her eyes and face. The rest of his photos are pretty good using the phone. Yeah the sculpt was tweaked from the original, and I do see that her eyes are a bit larger in comparison to Gentle Giant's pic, but the zoomed out in-hand images of her head sculpt don't make her eyes look that bad. I still think that her lips need a normal pinkish coloring all the way into the corners of her mouth, and I don't like the way it looks as if she has some sort of tan around her eyes as opposed to the rest of her face. I'm not sure if that's the mix of the lighting and the use of a camera phone that's causing the tan area around both her eyes to stand out more or what, but I can see it in those photos. I agree with the sculpt...it's awesome. Her boots, jeans, belt, machete holster, and everything else looks awesome and is painted top-notch as usual by Gentle Giant.

Holy $hit- is the pic on the left the production piece? If so, I am glad I didn't preorder. I this statue was on my list, but if that's it, it's off the list. If I saw this statue with no description, honestly, I wouldn't know who it was. The proto pic captures her perfectly in my opinion.

Yes, it is numbered, 208.

It's done with the Samsung S6 galaxy camera in daylight (no artificial light). From the tech reviews I read, the Samsung S6 galaxy camera is very good for daylight pics.

FYI - the ES and statue # should be on the back of the base too.
