Do you have another pic of the head sculpt?

 

[asgardianboy]

It is so nice having you guys back.
By the looks of it, this is goint to be 1 hell
of a figure if compared w/ Sideshow's attempt.

Unfortunately, likeness is still off.... :-((


Thx.

 

[Asmus]

Do you have another pic of the head sculpt?

yes, here it is.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Everything looks good from the neck down. I like the seamless arms, costume and accessories. But the likeness to Kurt just is not there.

I do appreciate the moving eye and rooted hair. But I would prefer sculpted hair. What happened to that unpainted sculpt you first showed years ago? That looked great.

I'm worried because it sounds like it's going to release without any feedback or adjustments.

 

[Stryker2011]

The hair looks good, so please keep up with the rooted hair. The face sculpt looks off, sadly. I appreciate everything else.

Oof

Did Kurt Russell not give you all the likeness rights? If so, I understand that you show off this figure as is... but if he did, why show a likeness so awful. Looks nothing like Kurt.

 

[Stryker2011]

Looks more like Roddy Piper.

Made a Photoshop edit:

- Made eye bigger
- Thickened eyebrow, extended the outer end, shifted peak of brow more over the eye
- Made tear duct much bigger
- Skin below the eyebrow arches upward instead of downward (so he doesn't look as sad)
- Added a bit of the upper eyelid, was not present before
- Thickened lips, lengthened mouth slightly
- Raised upper lip and nasal wrinkle into a sneer
- Exaggerated cheekbones a bit
- Lowered the jaw and chin
- Brightened the eye

Hope this helps. It's still not perfect, this is what I could do with the Liquify tool and the existing image. If anyone has any suggestions or wants to take it further, please feel free!

 

[Chopper Face]

He looks very sad about something.
Maybe he found out he’s supposed to resemble Kurt Russell…

 

[Heavy Metal Spike]

Sorry - but that likeness of Kurt is not good.

I wouldn't even consider buying unless the likeness was reasonably accurate - that is (for me) the most important aspect of any human figure these days.

The likeness is off, please consider fixing the eyes and eyebrows they need to be improved. The rooted hair will be tough to nail in 1/6. The body and clothing look pretty good.

As it stands, for me, SS has a more appealing sculpt.

Guessing there is no sculpted hair option so this is a pass for me.

Likeness is off in the face and the routed hair doesn’t help in the pics, looks too thick and not framing the face correctly.

I’m sure with a little futzing you can get the hair looking pretty good so I don’t think it’s an issue… routed hair is just not for me. My OCD won’t let me mix and match in the collection so I’m sculpted hair only

 

[Asmus]

Stole the pictures from an earlier version,
is this a better likness?

I would say so.

But the styling of the hair needs a lot of work too.

 

[DGSimo]

Uhhh wtf is that. Must be Eduardo Plissken cause that ain't Snake.

Weirdly looks like Solid Snake's VA, David Hayter, cosplaying as Snake. lol
