Something about the sun-glasses look under-scaled in relation to the portrait.
Her hair should be blonde not red.
I question the portrait likeness (how about releasing a shot of the portrait without the sun-glasses in place).
The base design takes up too much real estate.
I would kick myself no end if i picked this up only for Prime 1 to deliver something better further down the line.

On a positive note, the body sculpt and pose looks great.

No worries, happy to take one for the team in this case, I will check, and fully inspect this statue for the sake of mankind

What annoys me is the fact that Sarah Connor is underscaled. From the bottom-base all the way up to the tip of the gun she is holding, Sarah clocks in at 71cm in height. I have included a picture of her (in scale) next to JND Studio's WW84. WW84 is 69cm with the base included. As you can see Sarah is dwarfed hugely, she even looks like a 1/4 scale IMO. I emailed DSC about this, and they have yet to respond...

Anyway the ETA of this statue is July 2022 (yeah right...)
I will post a review with a full report about the quality of this statue as soon as I receive her

@Exorcist is your image comparison 100% correct?
Is the JND Wonder Woman over scaled? (large for 1/3 scale)

Sarah Connor appears to be 1/4 scale.
How about posting a 1/4 Sideshow PF image for comparison

EDIT: Sideshow 1/4 scale vs Darkside 1/3 scale

LOADING: Image(s)

I guess Darkside 1/3 scale is at the smaller end of 1/3
I guess JND offer 1/3 scale at the larger end. The Golden Wonder Woman looks closer to 1/2 scale.
Prime 1/3 pieces vary quite a bit. Their 1/3 Wonder Woman is massive. Their 1/3 Poison Ivy is at the smaller end of 1/3

Good points! Well I looked it up, Gal Gadot is about 178cm in height. Divided by 3 makes her around 59,33cm. If you add the base and the rooted hair on top I think her size as a JND Statue is about perfectly right. Queen Studio's 1/3 scaled statue's are also around the 68cm in height (base included).

Now let's take Sarah (Linda Hamilton), she is around 168cm. Divided by 3 makes her around 56cm...... yes im afraid she is underscaled.

Prime1Studio made the same mistake as a starting company, only they made their 1/3 scaled statue's to big. Now with Blitzway joining the team Prime1Studio's 1/3 scale statue's are also around 68 cm in height (base included). See WW Carter, Joker Phoenix, and Joker Heath for references.

I hope I am wrong though, I would really love to have Sarah Connor perfectly scaled.

@Exorcist

Lets see if DSC respond to you, will be intresting to see what they say?

Got a feeling your right.

The thing is, scale (like mathematics) is not really open to "interpretation" - either a figure is to scale, or it's not.

It's pretty digital in that respect.

If the company states their product is 1/3 scale - well, it better be.....If not, then this is false advertising at worst, incompetence at best......

I just received a reply from DSC's directly and I am very satisfied with the response. Seems to be that I was wrong afteral and that Sarah Connor indeed is in scale.

In the attachment the reply from DSC. Cannot wait for Sarah Connor
