Awesome ! I always liked that piece too. Was hoping they would make Star Lord.

Yeah, a 1:4 scale Star Lord to accompany Rocket & Groot would've been awesome.

I agree, real shame no one did a 1/4 Star Lord.

I liked Derby very much. She is one of my favourite statues. Other than the lack of sparkle on the eye-lids, she is perfect.

All HT girls are just great, as IMO any GG woman statue Will Harbottle has worked on. Originally, based on photos, I've thought Whisper is going to be my most favourite one, but for now, from those three that are already out, I have to say it's Katya.
I just hope they'll make Fireball as well, she looks just perfect...

I received my TFA Trooper today and I took two quick cellphone pics. I've been reading about paint issues with this bust. Apparently the white is on the yellowish side. It seems like it's a bit of a widespread problem based on pics I've seen posted. I opened mine up and he is on the yellowish side, not really yellow, but more of a pearl I'd say. The worst part of it is that the helmet and torso are two different shades.

The pics are not the best but you can kind of see what I'm talking about.


This first pic shows that the helmet is lighter than the torso.



Color looks more even in this pic but I think that's just the lighting and the position.


I don't know if this happened due to adding the gloss effect to the white armor, but the rifle is actually white, and it's not glossy.

I'm thinking of returning him because this paint issue is going to bug me.

Is that scope lined up with the blaster barrel correctly? Might just be the angle of the pics but it looks off slightly.
