Out of all the statues with emerging production photos, this one is the best.

True, but to be fair they've all been pretty damn amazing. RS paint apps were going to be very hard for the factory to replicate as the proto was outstanding from the start.

I think they've delivered for the fans on all 3 (this, Cat and RS)...although I don't have any of the 3 ordered

A lot is missing on RS, A LOT.
It was going to be a pivotal statue, sadly it came out typical.
The lost of the skin texture is a huge problem.
And the eyes don't have the attitude from the proto.
True, it is still a nice piece, but definitely not $600 nice.

I think this and Catwoman came out great. Catwoman is an easy piece though, pretty basic. The only fear I had with that were the eyes. Same goes for any Sideshow female piece. They nailed it on both. CM, has quite a bit more going on. Her base is way more complex than Catwomans. So, I think CM definitely gets the award out of the three.

Capt. Marvel looks absolutely amazing.

Catwoman, while it looks almost identical to the proto, still doesn't look like Michelle Pfeiffer to me. I have her on order, but I honestly don't know if I want to keep her.

Red Sonja looks very good, but I now see (after seeing the side-by-side) the big differences between the two.

This and Skeletor are home-runs if this is what we're getting.

Looks like the B-team factory got Red Sonja.

Ooh yes, forgot about Skeletor. He looks absolutely phenomenal!

Agreed Looking forward to actually getting Capt Marvel and Red Sonja in hand and physically see it.

Funny Rebor can manage that with their reasonably priced dino's as well, but SS still uses the inferior stuff. I think they are overdue to upgrade the packaging.

Yes I agree the first red Sonja was a huge fail compared to anything like the prototype. Paint was terrible, eyes and face paint was way off.

Catwoman had wonky eyes.

At least this cap marvel is looking like the prototype to be fair. Credit is due when it shows like this one.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
