Well, I'm responding to the point that we're unlikely to get another statue of Eva Green. I mean, that depends on what work she does going forward. If she does more films like 300 etc you may well see another statue.

I wouldn't say I'm a massive fan of Eva Green, so I don't know her full acting portfolio, but the only other character she has played (that I know of) that might generate a 1/4 scale statue would be her as a Bond girl.

True it all depends on her future work and if that work is marketable. I really only know her from Bond as well but she will also be in the new Sin City movie.

So she may be gaining popularity.

So yeah we may see more collectibles yet but it's early to tell.

I can see the roles I HAVE seen her in I've quite liked.

IMO, Both.... Even though 300 overall was just ok, I thought she personally did an awesome job playing her character. For me she kept the movie from being a complete disaster.

She hasn't done a lot but she was good in Kingdom of Heaven, Casino Royal and Camelot (as Morgan).. and lets not forget the Dreamers

I wonder if there would be a market for 1/4 scale statues of actors and actresses, not in any character, just as themselves?

I guess a company could do something like a "Red Carpet" line, so you'd get your favourite actor at least well dressed

Maybe for female collectors (shrug)

Sure I want a Eva Green statue of 300 carrying swords, but I'm pretty sure I don't want a Eva Green in a evening gown walking down the red carpet, it just loses it's cool factor really quick...

Really, I think it could be awesome! But, BUT, the likeness would have to be off the charts good! Maybe get some Super Models and Playmates on the go as well! Hell, I'd support that line!

She was in the new Sin City movie and no watched it. One of the biggest flops this summer. So that did nothing for her exposure.

Really?! Rise was the best movie I saw all year! As a matter of fact, my friend and I thought it was so good that we saw it twice in the same night within an hour of each showing.

We saw it with one group of friends at 8:00 p.m, and then with another group sometime after 10:00p.m.

Everyone we saw it with was amazed and then I was reading online afterward about how so many people where surprised at how good it was.

We all went in thinking it would be okay, but in a lot of ways it was better than the original!

Oh, you're right....was....

I remember seeing posters of it at the theater not too long ago and then I haven't been paying attention to it but I guess it came out already.

No one has been talking about so I forgot about it and thought it was still about to come out.

I don't get why they pulled that out of the theater after a week. I wasn't able to even see it. They must have had no turnout for that movie at all. I was really bummed. I'm not sure it even came to Wisconsin actually. Seems like it was only in select theaters and then bam, gone.

I think what annoyed me the most was that I wanted to see the Spartans more, watching a bunch of farmers play warrior was kind of anti-climatic..

Like I said I thought it was ok but I thought the first one was better...
