Question Iron Studios Black Widow (2021 Movie) 1/10 Statue Line

First shown at Wonderfest 21 in Shanghai yesterday. I don't think a scale was announced, but these are definitely 1/10 scale.

And shame on you Iron Studios. Your prototypes usually look great and spot on. Production pieces can end up varying. But with this, shame on you as the female pieces have TERRIBLE faces. Not sure if these were rushed or what. If they changed sculptors they need to fix that ASAP.

Given the small scale, Taskmaster looks decent enough. I donot rate the other 3
The Taskmaster pose reminds me of the recent Sideshow Deadpool pose.

I agree the Taskmaster does look nice.

It's disappointing comparing these to their other MCU 1/10 pieces. The older ones had far better face sculpts at much better prices. Now they want you to pay double for worse work?

What's with the weird stances and poses in their 1:10 lines...?

I think the Black Widow piece is tolerable BUT since it isn't a production piece, it is most likely going to get worse. The Yelena headsculpt is downright "action figure" level. I am losing faith in Iron Studios as a company.

Taskmaster is by far the best. He’s also wearing a mask lol. The others are rough. Yelena has crazy googly eyes.

Horrible pieces... such a disposable line

It seems done in a hurry, anyway just to fill the hole, I think they are required to make statues of every Marvel movie, is MCU, easy money.

I thought Yelena was Legolas at first. Elf ear and all.

Photos don't usually do these 1/10 scaled pieces a favor.

I know the ones that I have are all more than serviceable likenesses for the scale- and at the distance I commonly view them.
If I had my nose three inches away from them constantly, and my reading glasses on, then yeah, they wouldn't hold up.

I think the likeness is there for Scarlet, but the braid/ponytail looks awkward, and the body attitude is also awkward and action figure clunky/stiff.

The Yelena, OTOH, has a more fluid and natural attitude, and the body type is totally Pugh's (a little stout and stubby).
As for the likeness I can see where they were going, and I think they did get close to her feature proportions. Assuming it was a digital sculpt, a couple more passes refining them could have definitely helped.

I won't be getting them, but I don't think they're quite as awful as most here seem to feel they are.
