Bettany likeness lacking. Everything else works (although the mixed media cape is not what I'd prefer). I have the Queen Vision life size bust coming so I don't need this one.

Great companion piece to Wanda, both in the hover position. I like the work they did with the base too. Great to see a proper Vision in 1/4 scale.

the likeness is definitely better to me from the sides.

The front is where it loses it- partly because the head shape is rounder than Bettany's. It needs to be quite a bit narrower.
Also there's that odd, Elvis-like curl to his upper lip.
He's almost sneering.

I've got the Queen bust on order too, but will almost certainly have to cancel it.
Phenomenal likeness on it, but I don't see having the room to store it.

Two smaller boxes for 1/4 scale figures would at least give me more flexibility.

As expected they chose not to refine and improve that face sculpt of Vision.

Which means this is likely to be the first 1/4 scale MCU piece of theirs that I’m skipping (which isn’t a duplicate character of a previous release).

The cape looks like it is made of shopping bag material

It appears to be identical to the 1/6 scale statue I have from Iron Studios.

Yup, terrible in my opinion.

I think they’re making the same mistake that they did with their 1/6 scale version, where the panel lines and other partitions on the face are too deep and distinct. They should be much finer between each section of the face.

I don't usually pan many pieces but man, this just doesn't look anything like vision, let alone Bettany. It's really.... Not good.

Especially compared to the Elizabeth Olsen piece, which IMO they did a pretty nice job on. Not at their price point but still nice regardless and some aren't bothered by a few extra $ if it's worth it. Hard to buy them as a complementary piece, even though that was the goal here.
