However sometimes a sculpt is unquestionable like Old Ben, Gandalf, BR Joker and the amazing new Arnie as Dutch from PREDATOR sculpt.
Also goes to show how big paint makes a difference, as all of those received paint apps that support their appearance. Granted we've seen Old Ben and Gandalf as raw sculpts too and they looked great, but it takes a good paint job to really make it clear how good the sculpt is because of the relationship. The best paint in the world won't matter if the sculpt's off, and the best sculpt won't look good if the paint's off. I'd love to see ANH Han and Luke painted and photographed by Hot Toys just to see what difference proper paint jobs do. As much as Han and Luke aren't the worst paint apps, they're not such that they aid in making the portrait look like the actors, they're just well applied generic apps, one area where Hot Toys excels, they give their figures paint that matches in capturing the likenesses.
