Thank you for sharing. Love seeing the process and possibilities (various expressions) in a piece.

Wow.
First time I'm seeing the finished piece- it's almost heartbreakingly beautiful.

I'm going to guess that it's not just the heart stand that makes up the exclusive, but also the entire right arm/sword.

Would've been even better if they made the eyes movable, and the heart would pump.

Thanks for sharing these. Interesting they changed the eyes to look more dead on vs the 3d images where they're focused off centre...at something or someone.

All the photos are taken at or below eye level. I hope when the order goes live we can see some below eye level angles too.

And yeah, with all these bust I wouldn't mind seeing some side eyes, or even glancing upward. Looking down is the only attitude I would see as limiting- as the upward look is more heroic/aspirational...even if your viewing angle for the piece prevents you from looking into her eyes directly.

Any deviations from dead ahead just give a face more life and personality.

That said, not complaining at all with how this came out.

Normally I would agree with that, but in this case I think she comes across a bit more intense and determined staring directly ahead like this, as if she's ready to attack whatever's in front of her.

Not sure that would come across as strongly if she was glancing to the side.

Wow thank you! Does this person have an Instagram? The man or woman with the Queen studios sculpts on his artstation

Looking back at the artstation pics, some of the earlier cg mockups have her eyes in slightly different orientations




But when you put it like that, I gotta admit I see your point and yeah, I agree. She has that bit of a furrowed brow that makes the forward stare seem purposeful and not like a Hot Toys Zombie® blank expression.

I'm curious to know if the prototype has real hair or the artificial hair that the end product will come with as noted in the product description. It looks like real hair on the proto. If it is in fact artificial hair, it looks way better than I would expect. The proto really looks amazing.
