Like Paul, the protest isn't quite there, but still, count me in. It's Dune, and it looks good enough.
I was just taking out my salt and pepper shakers and getting ready to eat some crow over my pessimism about this company after the Paul reveal…but…nope…this has got to be one of the poorest likenesses that I’ve ever seen on a 1/6 scale figure.I think it's weaker, and they had more features to work with.
I hope they're a company that takes feedback on board.

Everything is pretty spot on besides his eye shape. They're not quite Brolin so it throws the likeness off a bit. Hot Toys got his squinted brooding eyes right, which helps their likeness.I think it's weaker, and they had more features to work with.
I hope they're a company that takes feedback on board.

I only just saw the movie and wasn’t especially captivated; intrigued, yes, but not fully onboard yet. It’s probably gonna take me another viewing to get to grips with everything they’re laying out...
I’m with you. Blown away by the Paul figure. I find the Brolin figure to be so terribly off base that it’s making me actually rethink the Paul figure and wonder if I missed something there because Brolin looks so bad to me that I can’t believe that they actually came from the same company…almost wondering if Paul isn’t as good as I thought…How we view the accuracy of head sculpts seems to be quite subjective. It’s interesting to read about our natural facial recognition and how our brains identify familiar features.
Apparently we don’t view faces as a whole but as a collection of features so I imagine the degree to which someone finds a sculpts inaccurate depends on how many of the collective features they need to be perfectly recaptured in order for their brain to be satisfied that it is the person it’s meant to represent.
I’m personally blown away by the Chalamet sculpt and find it to be one of the most realistic and well captured likenesses I’ve seen for a long time.
I’m not overly familiar with his face but all of the key identifying features have been reproduced individually and as a collective in relation to one another to a degree that leaves me thinking ‘that’s basically perfect.’
I only just saw the movie and wasn’t especially captivated; intrigued, yes, but not fully onboard yet. It’s probably gonna take me another viewing to get to grips with everything they’re laying out but, as it’s currently presented, that Paul figure deserves to be bought.
Brolin sculpt, on the other hand, is very off in multiple areas- and the fact that other people hold the opposite view is utterly fascinating to me.
Great start, but agree, doesn’t scream Brolin to me either. Something about the eyes and the brows gives off more of a Michael Ironside vibe to me. Suit is looking great though. Hope they adjust the sculpt a bit and that an armoured Duke Leto is next. Hoping for a regal Leto to go with Paul too!
The eyes are off a little but I think him looking slightly up doesn't help either.I think it's weaker, and they had more features to work with.
I hope they're a company that takes feedback on board.

I am glad that you are not a competitorFirst site I've seen Paul listed is Kit's:
