Without wishing to sound dumb, hasn't this statue in it's red outfit been available in the past, as I'm sure i've seen them on ebay, for a high price.

My question is, isn't this new grey outfit version the same spec as the red outfit version?

Looks nice, but it definitely doesn't have the face of the proto. But what does now days.

Thanks for the picture SF. It's much better; however, it seems to me that GG kept the same face as the Whisper variant (which I don't really like). Since the eyebrows of this one are practically the same as the variant, the only real difference is obviously the eyebrow and hair color, and the direction the eyes are looking.

If you look at the face of the variant and the face of the original prototype, they're almost two different faces. The eyebrows are key, and the biggest difference between them. Ever since I was able to see the two in comparison pictures, I've always loved the face of the non-variant much better over the actual variant.

I'm positive that all the other details are gonna be there for the remainder of the piece, but I don't know, I just don't like the way GG kept the face of the variant to go along with the original release. I was hoping the original's face would look more like it's own prototype.

I'm torn man. Don't really know how I wanna proceed now.

The face from the proto had so much character, and it was that (IMHO) that superseded the need for this statue to be based on a character likeness or a real world "actress".

While this photo (as well as supporting the earlier, "poor quality" photo ) shows an ok portrait, it lacks character and looks extremely generic.

While the whole figure may well be a catch based on the diver equipment, and additional details it comes with, at least for me, the statue does not deliver on it's promise.

Those that have the exclusive just won the lottery, you guys definitely got the better statue, and the value of that purchase will be guaranteed going forward!!
