Yes likeness can be quantified. But not by most people. People see things through the prism of their own limited experience. We have a program at the studio (my family studio) that works much like facial recognition to determine if a created item matchs it's source material. I'm sure hot toys has one too. A computer is much more objective then any person. And for kicks I ran a photo from sdcc of this and a photo of the actress and guess what...92% match. I then ran a photo of her from a screen grab against a seperate photo of her from a screen grab...93% match. It's not perfect. But saying it sucks and hot toys sucks is just biased BS.
And people are comparing a sculpt that they have probably never seen in person to a person I am very sure they have never seen in person.
Yep, that HT Maria Hill is a very good likeness.
