DC, when you get your Mace are you going to do a custom paint job on it? If you are you should post pics. Then people can see what you mean better. :D

I WISH I was as good a CustomMikey to do that, but my Mace would end up with a fate worth than death! :lol
I understand what you're gettin at though. Im not trashing the Mace, like I said, I ordered it and will proudly display him. I just think the complexities of AA skin havent been addressed. It'd be nice if it was. It would also take a greater painter than I, i.e. CM!
You know, there as a thread of the custom work of an Anikin done by a Korean artist I believe. In his sculpt, he has 1-2 pinks, white flesh tones, and reds in it. While Im not suggesting SS do THAT much, but I just offer that as a means to see what Im saying when you paint the skin more transparent, thereby adding more tones to it, you completely bring the actors portrait to life. If SS could do perhaps 1 more tone to Mace's skin, it would look less generic and toy-like to me. Again IMHO.

Cute.
He doesnt look like him. Skin tone too dark and it's just off. My opinion. No need to be all over me about it. I just believe that most toy/collectible sculptors have not captured the subtleties of the African American portrait. That's all Im saying. I believe Mace suffers this same fate. I hope the production piece is better.
Plus his arms are too long!:monkey5


If that is so, than we definitely need more African American toy/collectible sculptors in this world!
I like the Mace saw, the turnaround rocks!

Wow, it's nice to know that there are some really intelligent folks here. Thanks Alice and Pixletwin.
I dont care about getting flamed, but I was being serious about what I thought made the portrait off. I love this SS stuff just as much as the next guy, even though Im a newbie here.

You say that untill he is shipping and everyone is posting pics of them and how kewl he is and you'll be sitting their kicking youself and paying 75 bucks off ebay to catch up. :chew

Not at all. I actually pre-ordered the Exclusive Mace Windu but had a change of mind and cancelled it. I'm not really a fan of the character and in truth I probably only ordered it to see if I could keep my streak of Exclusives going. DCFett hit the nail on the head about the Mace sculpt,it's not totally off,but there's just something lacking that makes it a dead on likeness.
 
Putting the headsculpt aside, the figure looks fantastic in that 360 degree turnaround thingee.

The entire outfit looks amazing, with each articule of clothing showing subtle differences in texture and material.
 
Anyone else notice that his left eye looks like SLJ, but his right eye does not? I think the right eye ruins an otherwise good resemblance. (The eye on our left)

And here is SS Mace:

Whats the verdict? Looks pretty spot on to me...:D

It may be lighting, but I do see some variance of color in the skin. Look at the nose and around the chin, also above the upper lip they do look a bit lighter to me.
