This is coming soon. The weird mockingbird youtuber now has a new video of the unboxing, altho its still interlaced with random unrelated propaganda information. Idk what they are trying to go for.

Anyways the statue i think looks great. Face sculpt looks really good imo

The colors looked brighter than the proto. The piece looks good. The video comes across like something made by Iron Studios, or a YouTuber wanting to unbox like Prime 1, and not talk.

Maybe this week Sideshow will start shipping?

Here's a different video by another youtuber. Video seems brighter so I'm sure the colors and skin tone won't be so bright in person. I think this is going to be a good statue.

Well that was short.
What i like about this piece is the fact i see SJ but not a hyper realistic SJ. I guess it's SJ with an Iron Studios twist.
It's not cartoon either. It sits somewhere between real and cartoon. I like it

Yuck.....it's official, now I know what's possible - there's no going back.

This might have been great even 2 years ago - but now? No, it's mediocre at best.

In my opinion, if you're going for a movie character - it has to be "hyper-real"....otherwise what's the point? A cartoon / comic adaptation of a character is fine and a different statue approach altogether, but such a middle ground is just.....meh.

When you consider that you ARE paying a premium for the characters likeness to (in this case) the actress, anything less than spot on (for the money they charge) is simply a rip off.

Buyers knew what they were buying into. Production appears to match Proto,
which beats the bait-and-switch approach employed by some companies (not always intentional).
