A lot of editing in that preview pic. Much different than the live pic. It's almost like two different statues.

Also, I think one of the actresses' most defining features is the strongly pursed corners of her mouth, which I don't think they've quite captured here.

I think people thinking the likeness looks solid haven't seen a pic of Daisy Ridley recently - when you just recall what she looks like it seems to hold up but actually looking at pics of them side by side it's very apparently that it's a bit off the mark. It's a shame because the rest of the statue is pretty great.

If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?

I like the pose and sculpt, it's her mouth that throws off the likeness IMO

I really want to get a Rey statue, but this just isn’t it. Nothing to do with the concept…. It’s the face. Looks like Rey aged 20 years

What?s the exclusive for this? Is this just a SSC only product? Kind of lame if it is.

They should have just called it Woke Wars! It was so obviously demographic box checking & we have to make sure we replace the guy hero with a girl hero, so let's just remake the first movie, but Luke is a Girl.

I'm all for girl heroes, but this just felt forced and contrived

That said, I do actually like the statue & dynamic pose, but I do hope they improve the face. No need to PO these SW statues with ES in the Thousands...
