I think with a lot of these it's not even the head sculpt, it's the paint application. I've seen a repaint of this Wonder Woman and was a dead ringer for Gal. I think this Superman with a top-class repaint would be great! Granted we shouldn't have to in the first place.

The pose is great!

The 2nd pic is probably the best angle of the face to take a picture.

Gee... the paint is terrible...

Congrats anyway. If you like it, good for you!

Some more pics.
As you can see the colour of the suit can completely change depending on the lighting. Too much ruins it.
Either way, the S and belt still aren't silver enough.
I'm happy with the head sculpt. Some angles its great, other angles not as much.

Weta agreed on the emblem and the belt and is going to replace the body.

I did yes. If they do say no I could give you a copy of my emails so you can show them if that helps.

That would be great buddy, i'd like to think that even retailers would have to adhere to it if weta them selves have admitted to the coloring being faulty.

Not terrible

Just got mine in and honestly it's a lot better than I was expecting. Still looking into a repaint but under the right light it looks perfectly acceptable imho. The likeness is at maybe 35% what it could be but that's 1:4 scales for you. (I think this line might be closer to 1:5 btw) Here's some bad phone pictures

It's certainly better in person. I love the pose!
