Blitzway portraits are PVC. The bodies are polystone.

Oh. Hopefully the production pieces don’t look like ----. I’ll return it if it looks terrible.

Would a company ever offer a new head after the initial release?
?
For sure, they didn't use crayolas. The same for the production pieces. I own their Sharon Stone, and it's clearly an "air brushed face". The subtil shading and the make up are among the best that I can see in my collection.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

French Cancan, I didnt type that correctly, I mean the image itself has been played with, probably actually in person NEVER looked that good

Ah, ok, my bad.
Studio lighting and a little bit of Photoshop then...
It's the minimum to do if you want to sell.

So, it seems there is a seam. A new red flag then...
It could have been a good idea if the guy of this shop had covered the seam with the necklace which is supposed to cover the seam.

Regarding the portrait, I am VERY happy with what I see. ( Hmmm, I'm probably very very deeply lost in that denial thing...)

Yes that's true, I'm really interested to see someone post a photo that actually gets this, maybe these super close ups are giving me the wrong impression of what it looks like in person, a few of my statues look good viewed at a slight distance, such as the new Shard Faith Bearers, it looks not perfect up close, but looks better when you dont focus solely on the face, idk?

I can only speak for Sharon Stone, but you can get close enough to give her a kiss on her nose, and she stays perfect, even very close .And a lighting, even intense, doesn't succeed in making her ugly.
Of course, hopefully it will be the same for Daenerys.

This shoumd have turned out better considering price.
Prior to today, what were the other red flags? Just the likeness is all I remember.
