Cinemaquette: Kill Bill - The Bride

Just because it's not a great likeness doesn't mean it looks nothing like her. Stop making everything black & white.

It is clearly Uma Thurman.

Of course it’s black and white, Cm rate themselves at the higher end of collecting (with prices to reflect that) so they either nail the likeness or they don’t, having a resemblance isn’t good enough now days. Back in the day they could get away with lesser quality because they were unique in what they where doing (materials used and scale) but other companies have far surpassed them in all areas and some for alot less money.
Don’t get me wrong I’m no Cm hater I’ve owned 5 of their pieces over the years (not including Ecc stuff which is a different league) but I’ve always been frustrated by the unrealised potential most of their pieces have due to poor posing or passing resemblances on their likeness’ . I’ve never understood why George is always so willing to accept mediocrity over perfection when he has so much talent at his disposal

Well said. Superman was another failed attempt from CM for me. If you can't beat them, join HT and get them to sculpt. I won't accept any near likeness at this point in time.

Agreed, Nose is too long, Eyes are too narrow, Brow is not even close, the head is too long. Cinemaquette are great as long as they are not Famous Human Beings.

STILL not worth the price tags they ask.

Chin and eye's look close to Uma Thurman. It is possibly the nose throwing the portrait off. The tip of the nose possible hangs over/down too much. The nose possibly needs to be slightly wider overall. The eyebrowse could use some work.
