12" Qui-Gon!!

[Customikey]

Wow. Just...wow. I wonder what a custom paint job would do for that. Not much, I'm guessing. Try t get a Tatooine Luke instead. Either the deluxe version or the one that came in the three pack with Han and Leia. Just take a seam ripper and remove the stripes from the shoulders.

That is just the ugliest thing I have ever seen! I am just dumbfounded at how bad this is...

Sideshow doesn't have to work too hard to surpass this thing.

When I saw this pic tonight, I thought it was a fan-made joke. This thing was really produced by Hasbro? Scary.

 

[Batty]

Yeah, that's a fine example of how hit and miss the Hasbro 12" line was. On the other hand, I thought the regular 12" Qui-Gon was pretty good. It actually looked like Liam Neeson.

That figure should be shown to everyone who thinks Sideshow should sell figures for $20.

And he kit-bashed well, too! Guess I'd better show this one off, now that he's about to be obsolete (thanks again SSC!!!)
From my thread in the galleries:

That kitbashed Qui-Gon is great, Mikey. You don't even need the SS version with that one.

 

[JustinLuck]

Amazing likeness. I really like this Sideshow sculpt. But they painted too much gray on his eyebrows, mustache, and beard.

 

[The Josh]

Looks good. Not exact by any means but I'll be getting him to add to my Jedi collection.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I still say he looks like Russell Crowe.

 

[nash]

I think it looks way better than the GG mini bust does. I cant wait to get this one.

 

[LOTRFan]

The sculpt itself is great, the hairline isn't quite so hot.

 

[King Darkness]

Face sculpt looks really good IMO...but the hair line is a bit high.....I hate to criticize such an early sculpt..but I felt it necessary to add my "rebelscum" comment to this tread .......other than that I think this will be one of the best face sculpts in the SW line.

 

[JustinLuck]

You don't think the painted hair is too gray? Look at his eyebrows...

 

[gdb]

The only thing to critisize is the photography skills. Come on Sideshow, it's called 3 point lighting.

 

[King Darkness]

You don't think the painted hair is too gray? Look at his eyebrows...

yeah his chin looks a little too grey....but thats just splitting hairs

 

[The Josh]

The beard might be a tad too grey and the hairline looks a little odd to me. I think the hairline though looks that way being that his hair is pulled tightly back. Nothing I'm going to go crazy over.

Yeah,a little extra grey and a questionable hair line is hardly enough for me to not be huddle in front of my computer on the 17th....I really do like this scuplt!!

 

[Darth Loki]

Just watched TPM and his beard and eyebrows are too grey. I need to reserve any other judgements until I see more pictures but those things seem obvious.

 

[Sabertrooper]

Since this is probably an early prototype, I would not be surprised if they adjust the paint, such as the grey on his beard. This is the first up close pic of the face that I have seen. The detail is amazing. It seems that the hair is not quite flush with the head though. A minor adjustment I am sure.
