1/6 Star Ace - Underworld

Looks great actually!!!
Any idea on body and outfit (that was a bigger issue imo) the gaps between her legs and also the costume material and look...

The catsuit will remain the same as the prototype from Toy Fair.

I agree but the guy at Star Ace said if they used any other material it would seriously hinder the articulation.

Re: 1/6 Star Ace - Underworld

i believe the sculpt is pretty good on mass produced sculpture kinda sense. her mouth could be bigger and her forehead should be smaller. if you want 100% likeness you gotta pay those skill pros on the black market $100

She needs a sharper nose with a higher tip, slightly narrower eyes and a raised upper lip or slightly open mouth and yes a smaller forehead. Id get this figure for deffo if it looked like her, shes beautiful and i liked the movie very much

But no one really needs too much articulation on these. By that logic the batman returns won't look how it looks by hot toys, same for Vader etc. these are something collectors cherish for a long time to come. Compromising fabric just so it can have a little more articulation to play around with is a very short term objective. I think accuracy is the key - that's what defines a good figure vs an ordinary. While people claim to say that they need articulation - rarely people pose figures in extreme positions - and the ones who do most of their fabric / outfits whether accurate or not face a serious damage. Just my views.
It's a shame that they re going that route especially after such a stunning sculpt.

I like the headsculpt but would want it for a custom... not the full figure.

This.

Looks like I'm going to have to utilize elements from the Kumik and Phicen Selenes, with this HS, to get the one I want.

Re: 1/6 Star Ace - Underworld

I think the tip of her nose looks a too bulbous and her forehead is too round, which is making the portrait look a little young. But otherwise looks good. I hope it comes with two portraits since I have an extra body and Kumik outfit.

Have to disagree here. I would buy a statue if I wanted a static representation of a figure. Going with crappy fabric/material choices as excuse of articulation is a cop out and not necessary. A figure should have at least the articulation necessary to recreate the iconic poses they are known for from whatever source material it is based on. There are literally thousands of choices on materials these days and more sourcing research needs to be done before a compromise is made.

i completely agree with everything you've said.

Re: 1/6 Star Ace - Underworld

^^^ Bottom line while our logics differ the end goal is same - they shld not cheapen out on material giving articulation excuse. For me the fabric look and feel is very important especially cause I don't do extreme poses. There is no point trying to pose a figure in extreme poses or even movie screen accurate poses (for those who want to pose it) - when the figure itself won't look accurate. That's what I mean when I say or draw a parallel to preference on accuracy vs articulation. That outfit is miles from being accurate.
