Here's another comparison shot. Here I spotted various differences in the paint job. The material around the wrist looks different. The weapon looks superior with it's metal finish compared to the plain black of the final product. Maggie seem's to be the ideal statue to be improved by a talented painter.

I wouldn't panic yet, so far we have seen pics of only one production piece. Perhaps it was an outlier, and the others may be better (hoping!)

I hope you're right. Really was looking forward to this statue.

Wow, those eyes. This is definitely not the quality I expect from GG. It seems like such a misstep. Hopefully an isolated incident.

Mine has shipped. It's on it's way. I'm no wizard behind a camera, but i'll take some shots.

Please do. TFAW has her for $320 and I keep almost ordering, just a bit hesitant based on the paint job in the previously posted photos.

I find it shocking to show something, and then to change the face as much as they have, right at the moment of shipping. They should really remove all images from their website and replace them. Based on the photo's of the one statue we've seen posted over the last few pages, the bigger eyes and lips look less mean than the prototype. The prototype looks more serious and better for it. In a way, neither look 100% like the actress they attempt to portray. For the moment, my Maggie is in transit, sitting in Los Angeles, in an area called The City of Industry. Can't say as i've ever been aware of The City of Industry.

Geez, I was going to order this but now not so sure. We need a better pic, more frontal pic of the face but the eyes do look different.
