Yeah. At this point, the overbearing hype invites more backlash than the pieces might otherwise get.
Like everything before it, there are angles where the likeness is sharper and stronger, and other angles where it is less pronounced.
But to say this looks
nothing like Tyler? Good grief.
I still think it's a lovely piece overall.
It looks like they got her thinner, somewhat rail-like physique at that age. The body attitude is great for the vibe this is supposed to be projecting. The hair looks to be about the best implemented yet for this company's product.
At this point the brand has fully developed a cachet that transcends the minor % deficiencies in likeness, IMO. Meaning, the nits people pick with the likenesses aren't likely to have much of an impact on sales. While that's been the impression for a while, I think it's entrenched now.
