I know everyone has their opinion but c'mon. It's not perfect yet, but comparing it to the P1 piece is just crazy. I kinda blame Infinity for this. They really should take photos under optimal lighting and release them unedited.

This is mindblowingly good!
Congrats to those who are gonna get her.
She certainly looks like a piece that people would immediately be drawn to in a collection. Very beautiful!

Personally I see much more of a likeness here than on the P1 statue (which was far too idealized and missing the rounder cheeks and baby face she has)... but it still needs some work.

I think it looks quite a bit more accurate than the Prime 1 piece and found it instantly recognizable as Daenerys/Emilia.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

That's the best likeness of the character I've seen so far.

When it's compared to photos of the character and actress, the differences are made more apparent.

Lose the particular style of hair, clothing choice, and the dragons; and I truly wonder how many would recognise the actress?


The bust is very pretty though. I have Queen's WW bust, and while it's not perfect, it's without a doubt still one of my favourite pieces in my collection. So I'm sure those who order this bust will feel much the same.

The fact it looks closer than p1 isn't saying much, as they should be getting close at 4 times the size. I do think she looks good, it's just that the closer we get, sometimes uncanny valley is a massive factor and it looks off. I feel that making it a little more caricatured/exaggerating her features a tiny bit, would make it look better. Kinda like what they did with wonder woman

Yeah, I'm slightly afraid to go down this rabbit hole.

Initially, I said no way to busts due the price but then I started collecting JND 1:3 silicone statues, which is the gateway to even higher-end collectibles like these silicone 1:1 busts.

The WW final product busts were not quite as good as the prototypes, so I'm anticipating a drop-off for Danny.

Queen has a better Gadot sculpt but the Infinity lasso had a better paint app for the skin tone.

Also, the WW hair needs futzing out of the box, which I will dread if I get this Danny since I have no expertise in styling. All that being said, still 70-30 in favor of getting this GOT bust.

Their prototypes for GG Wonder Woman and AH Selina Kyle, for likeness alone, are probably the best licensed silicone busts I've ever seen. They were just about perfect.

Unfortunately I personally felt their production quality dropped quite a bit for their WW, that I actually prefer Queen's now.

I've got my fingers crossed on their Selina Kyle, as it's one of my most anticipated busts that I've got coming in (along with all the ones from Queen).

And I thought most thought that the Prime 1 piece wasn’t all that good, where likeness was concerned. So being thought to be worse than that, is really saying something.
