I know you guys were dying to see my review
Box and shipping,
My fedex delivery driver dropped the package from a standing position so I grabbed all the other 3 boxes from his truck since he was too dumb to use a cart (which he had in his truck)
I checked the box for any damage but only has 1 corner damaged (courtesy of delivery man), statue was unharmed.
The statue itself is bigger than I thought, I really like the size of this statue my first 1/3 and from now on I will only get 1/3 scale.
Cape:
the fabric has a very nice silk like texture very nice bright colors, the stars however are poor because they fall off very easily.
An extra Wired cape would have been nice so we could play around with displaying it.
Face:
Took me a while to see what the issue is why she looks off, her forehead is protuding too much.
From the view above and side view its very noticable.
Some serious Redness in the middle of her forehead shaped like half a circle Idk what they were trying to do.
Looks what happens when you press something against your forehead and leave a reddish mark.
Eyes:
my came in cross eyed even from a distance it is noticable, from up close it is even worse, contacted SIdeshow and P1 about this...unacceptable!
the eyes on my piece are glossy they have that nice sparkle with just the littlest of light.
Eyelashes:
Very nice shading the makeup the eye lashes very well done, don't see any glue marks either.
Impressive how they did this, the upper Eyelashes are made of fabric, the lower part is painted on.
Teeth:
I mean they are so small it doesnt bother me that the front teeth have a red line between them.
I never seen a red line between teeth before, but like I said they are so small i dont look it at is that much.
Lips:
very nice glossy beautifull paint job on the lips very impressive! Corners of her mouth equally as perfect.
Very reminiscent of Lynda in 'Bobby joe and the outlaw' and her photoshoots for Maybelinne which I have (1 of my prized Carter photobooks)
Ears:
decent paintjob seems very basic on that area, probably a hard to reach area, but still very decent.
Earstuds are also nice and glossy red.
Hair:
hair is nicely done I like how you can seem many strands and some hair is curling outward.
Don't know what the hair is made of but some parts you can slightly move which is very cool, it came with a type of safety foame between her head and back you can wiggle slowly to remove.
From the back you can see the volume of the hair also very nice.
1 small complaint is the right side sideburn it's like something I have, the one on the left is what Lynda carter has.
Skin:
Nicely done overall, her legs have a more greyish color compared to her torso.
reason why is because in the show she wore those greyish ''Stockings'' yes they were called stockings in her time (I am not old I am just obsessed with that era)
Boots:
very nice, love the texture done on it, love the almost bone white on the boots used alot in the 70's and the red has a very nice color and the paint on the folds of the booth very realistic.
Zipper on it also very nice, you can see the nice metallic shine on the silver.
Costume:
Very nice, love the gold eagle on it VERY similar to the actual thing, I own part of the Eagle wings worn by lynda carter I got from propstore.com and P1 did a great job.
In real life the wings have actual golf leaf on it so its very shiny, the gold used on the costume is more matte.
Love the blue on the shorts and the creases, the effect is very realistic.
Lasso:
Her Lasso is also very nice again the texture they did one it is amazing, it is not polystone its almost rubbery so nice little addition by them.
Bracelets and Crown:
crown is nice but the bracelets are very matte effect, in the tv series it was VERY shiny.
HOWEVER it can be solved with some bright white lighting
Love Love the red star and red jewel on it very shiny.
Base:
The logo she stands upon is very nice not a single thing I can complain about, just perfect.
Comes with a black WW eagle logo you can put on the back.
I wish that black WW EAGLY would be painted, would have been MUCH better if it was painted.
I had high hopes for this one since I am a huge Carter fan I collect all of her stuff no matter the cost
I am glad I received it because I learned some valuable lessons:
-I am now a 1/3 scale only collector, and life size busts.
No more 1/4 for me
-Will wait for some in-hand images before purchasing.
-And lastly that I can use Lighting to make it look better, even though the statue should come as a 100% likeness to the prototype (JND for example does a perfect job with that)
I will buy some nice bright lights so the gold will have that shiny effect.
Overall I would rate this statue a 7/10
