It's a good effort.

Yeah guess so, cannot wait for the full reveal

From what it's looking like, there will be 2 options.. the black and white.. with opposite poses.

That was my understanding yep

Will see what the white one looks like

Same here.

Great sculpt (along with the TLC prototype paint apps), but I don't like this look near enough to drop what's almost certainly going to be over $1K shipped.

It's not likely to happen, but a hair down, white suit version with a more exaggerated hip swagger, all in 1/3 scale, would make me far more likely to order- despite the even more ridiculous price tag.

I already prefer that scale for museum poses in general. When a celebrity likeness is also part of the deal, 1/3 seems to hit even more of a sweet spot.

I don't know. I'm digging the QS 1/4 scale actor likenesses: Ledger Joker, Holland Spidey, Gadot Wonder Woman, and now ScarJo Black Widow.

I agree except for WW, I don't like that portrait

All the likenesses on those 1/4 scales look good to great. Queen definitely seems to be able to execute them well enough at that scale.
My comment was more about personal preference. 1/3 is a much harder sell for other collector's, it seems.

To me that's the ideal balance between large presence and a workable enough footprint.

For most everyone else, 1/4 hits those better- especially if they want to display groups of figures.

For a celeb likeness- especially an attractive female one- larger would be more preferred. I have several (celeb based) in 1/4 scale and I don't hate them at all.
They're awesome in fact.
If they were the same only larger they'd just be that much more impressive to me.

The comment was also more about the issue of the sense of bang-for-the-buck as costs are spiraling up at a ridiculous pace at the moment.
I guess it's the same psychology as buying in bulk at the supermarket (which I do. a lot of). I'd rather spend more to get a better per unit price, even though a smaller portion size would be sufficient for the moment.

if that makes any sense.

Makes sense, I'd have 1/3 scales if I could afford it and had the space, there's no denying the impact of a larger statue
