The piece looks nice enough. No doubt the factory XM use will deliver a piece that looks close to the prototype. The shade of purple works well.
For all the positives, there is something inherently lacking when it comes to the
wow factor.
Could it be the portraits?
Most of the time when animals are added to a statue (seagulls, cats, rabbits etc) they tend to not help, and in most cases look toy like.
As always, there is one exception i can think of, Katya by Gentle Giant who ships with a decent enough looking Doberman Pinscher. I love Doberman's
Here is my Katya.. (old photo) on display in an old display cabinet i no longer use, complete with Xmas lights

The Doberman is painted to same high level as Katya. It's ears a super nice shade of pink.
Looking at it now, some drool on the end of the tongue using clear resin would have look excellent.
If i wanted to be hyper picky, the brown paint on the paw(s) area is too shiny.
