Prime 1 Studio: 1:3 Justice League Wonder Woman

[KOrigin]

I feel like it looks pretty similar to Nearmint's, either way the paint on the hair alone is worth the support ticket

I'm actually conflicted about this piece. Having lived with it for a few days, I'm not sure it's worth almost $1400. I haven't made a final decision, but I might return it. Hate to lose the NRD and shipping both ways, though.

Let me guess... crossed eyes?

Anyway, in both cases, it was for me a " back to sender". At this price, I wouldn't have wanted an " ultimate " Gadot WW with eyes not looking in the same direction.

I don't own this piece. One aspect that bothers slightly more, are the lower eye lashes. Compared to the prototype, they appear to look longer, thinner, more of them, and some don't connect to the lower eye-liner. It all add's up to factory rush-job. As great as Prime 1 are, there is a sense they are pushing their workers / pushing their factories harder to meet deadlines. Maybe they are going the Sideshow route - knock'em out, many will turn out good, some will turn out not so good. Replace the few that customers moan about.

Well I'm having second thoughts now. But I got a shipping notification and I quickly set it to a 3 month payment plan. I probably just screwed myself with the NRD. But I'm not blow away with this piece. I look at it this way. If I hate it and then try to sell later it will be much much worse. This hobby has been one long (expensive) learning experience.

Sorry to hear that. Despite the eye issue it still looks fantastic in your review.

Is it mostly just the paint quality that lets it down? Or does the sculpt and pose no longer work as well for you either?

I'm fine with the pose. The texturing on the skin is a bit odd. As I mentioned in the video, it has a goosebumps look to it. Paint on the portraits isn't as close to proto as I'd like. My wife, who isn't well-versed in statues, thought the portraits looked like wax figures.

Overall, I'm just not wowed by the piece, and for the big price tag, I feel like I should be.

Yeah I’m leaning towards the full refund as well. I love the piece but $1400 is $1400. I want near perfection at that price point at the very least.

To get this shipped out to me it’s costing me about $2,600 AUD, which is pretty much what I paid locally for each of the BVS 1/2 Trinity pieces.

So I’m crossing my fingers.

I'm going to live with her for another day or two before making a final decision.

Here are some pics of mine (with an iPhone 8 so not the best). Overall, I think it looks good - it definitely looks like Gal. My only problems are the skin (my wife says it looks plastic-y) and the bad paint between the fingers on her right hand (which makes it look a little like a flipper). I don't think the eyes look too bad on the crossed arms bust either. What do you guys think? I really like the Ultimate bust vs. the crossed arms bust but the right hand is agitating me.
