Anyone seen Flankster117 review.?
$4000 saved I guess, most of the comments dislike the bust and I have to agree

Now i have.. (watched the review)
Strange how the right hand looks good, and the left hand looks like it could use more work. Prime 1 Studio did the same thing with their 1/3 Harley - one of the hands looks weird.

I noticed Flankster 117 had the same issue i had with the baseball bat that ships with the JND Harley 1/3 ..crooked almost chicken drumstick shaped. JND sent me out a replacement

When he showed the left hand I was thinking, thats a hand of a clothing store mannequin we have in my country XD
Cool of JND to do that btw!
Seeing the JND and the bust side by side, I prefer the JND, it's 1/3 and the amount of detail compared to the bust is amazing.
the gun straps on JND are better, the shirt, the hands, all very impressive.
Hope they will do a better job with their ''The Suicide Squad'' version bust

WOW....so very, very, very glad I went with JND instead of buying this bust. That left hand looks, as he said in the review, like GARBAGE. Why they did one hand silicone and not the other baffles me. The skin that peeks through the shirt is super white, no texture and not silicone either. Several parts on her look like a clothing store mannequin. If I had ordered this I would be in the process of sending it back.

He actually used a simple fix to improve that left hand. It's not as good as it should be, but the stuck on nails he put on, at least now show definition and colour difference, where before it was soft and monotone.

While I agree it looked slightly better after that was done. It is ludicrous to have to "simple fix" a FOUR THOUSAND DOLLAR PLUS statue.

There's no denying that.

But if I were Sean I would've heated the nails before applying them, so they better matched the curvature of each finger.

None of this changes the fact that the likeness is way off…even worse than the proto…

Which is almost the complete opposite reaction to Infinity's Selina Kyle. For two pieces from the same manufacturer, released in almost the same window, to receive such different reactions.

But then again, imo the likenesses from day one (prototype), vastly favoured one over the other.

Yep, I canceled mine too. I hate that Infinity dropped the ball on this. I really like this version of Harley, so I'll probably end up going the custom route. But if Mera doesn't turn out well, I may just give up on my DCEU bust line entirely, and just stick with the busts from the Nolan trilogy.
