Alright all here are the pictures: https://drive.google.com/folderview?...zFiYnh4ZGY4X2c

Sorry the pics aren't the greatest taken with an s7 in lower light.

Alright, let's start with the elephant in the room, the face. It is a good looking face at arms length it looks very nice. Close up the nose is to large and if you were hoping for a scarjo match it's not quite there. My phone does overexagurat the nose by what feels like 20%. I actually feel like the face was a mishmash of anime and movie references. I would give it a 6/10.

The base is where I think this thing shines literally . I think this base is the real work of art from the destroyed geisha to the light up feature it just flows well. 8/10

The body sculpt is very elegant, and I can't find much wrong with it, the coolest part is how the light from the base shines through the feet. 8/10

Last thing really is the paint I think they were trying to get this really nailed down and detailed, but mine has some small imperfections. Not enough to have me worried, and I am capable of fixing them if they get worse. For this 6/10

As far as cost I would preferred it to cost 300, however with the electronics 370 ish would have been in the realm 2-3 years ago.

Overall 6.8 is my non biased opinion, 7.5 is my biased one lol.

Thanks for posting pictures and the review
As slightly off as the face is, I like it. The light-up base works well. The Major outfit looks so very original and movie accurate. The eye's too look robotic spot-on. The statue also gives me an excuse to own something from Weta


/all i need now is something from Prime1

Haha yeah I had the same thought, I missed out on all the cool district 9 stuff and this was a great first WETA acquisition for me.

Also on a side note look at her nose lol, it's large and beautiful:

It's accurate with the practical outfit she wore, but unfortunately not screen accurate after the CG enhancements. This is the risk collectible companies take producing collectibles before final movie production are made.
