Looks a lot better in that video.

I'm sure most people will be perfectly fine with it.

This one in more natural lighting and with less extreme close ups is definitely more promising. There are still angles where the likeness is off, but I'm still holding out hope that this is a quality piece.

Thanks for posting this; it definitely makes me feel a bit more at 'ease' than those photos & vids from a few pages back.

As said, I own several Blitzway pieces (including their 'gold dress' Marilyn), and I haven't been let down by their quality, yet .. but the previous photos definitely raised concerns.

I suppose it goes to show that skillful lighting & camera work can make a huge difference.

Very nice!! Sorry for those who cancelled.

Still waiting for a less sophisticated Marilyn...

Can you imagine ?

If they ever do another Marilyn, it needs to be this:

Is there a scale difference?

The golden dress version is superior, in my opinion...

Not really. It's just that the new one is standing on quite a higher base (which admittedly is difficult to see there) and is leaning forward, but their heads are about the same size. The second pic might throw you off even more due to perspective,

The first one is arguably more beautiful due to her sultry look, but a bit simple. The new one... you can't get more iconic than that. You just can't. If I were to choose which one to keep, I wouldn't hesitate for a second.

She's too pale, though.

The original version has the far superior portrait and hair.

Yeah.

Even the GPB pink dress isn't on quite the same level as this pose/image.

Congratulations on the pick up
How do you find the rotating feature? I had concerns it would be too fast for the scale.
