Did CGL produce a Sherlock head or is this Watson the first one?

Did CGL produce a Sherlock head or is this Watson the first one?

Not that I've seen. The only other Sherlock's I've laid my eyes on are BCS, Poptoys, Iminime or Daco's.

Anyone else?

I'm pretty sure that's the complete list, I certainly haven't seen any other Sherlocks out there.

CGL sculpt's paint looks good, the angle is a bit weird to really tell if the likeness is 100% but it looks really good.

I keep looking at the Sherlock Abominable Bride sculpt. I think that looks great. I'm just hoping the production paint holds up

Hard to tell from that shot, but I think I like that more than Daco's, which is a relief as his is so expensive this time around.

I hope it looks that great in production.

Any word on release date yet, BLNadal?

I don't know, their weibo is in chinese

Hmmm...

Each role penetrating interpretation , but each character looks like all kind of sad reminder , this is the influx of God peanut ~ [ hee hee ]

Google Translate is no help.

That is hilarious.

Is that supposed to be Martin Freeman? Or is there another Sherlock adaptation I'm not aware of?

Ah, cool. So, August 21st. Not too long then.

We can dream.

Well, I've got JW from Daco and made a picture with Sherlock's head. I think they look very compartible, and painting of JW head is really very good, in my opinion a bit better then Daco's painting, more realistic.

That looks pretty good but I'm not unhappy that I held out for whatever CGL are producing. Hopefully that'll be a bit better likeness-wise.

I couldn't justify spending that much for it - but glad to see others are happy. I just don't see enough of a likeness either and will be patient.

Up from the depths of the forum ye shall RISE

Anyway, I finally got around to putting the Daco sculpt on the Pop body/set.

Definitely can see that the sculpt is way undersized, but good call everyone getting that set as the body and suit are just about slim enough to pull it off.

Now I've got to go through this thread and work out what people did to futz it

 

[cmiller99]

I posted a list of what I did in post #5. That doesn't include coat futzing and the scarf though.

Here's my scarf futz guide https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=166188&p=8637080&viewfull=1#post8637080

And I did a little bit of water treatment on the coat to get it to hang flatter and sharper.

I also made some black socks for him.

Ah, cool. Cheers, dude.

I have put your scarf in a safe place. Problem is, I have forgotten where that safe place is I think it might be in the Sherlock cabinet. So, I'll check later.

However, I don't need it just yet as I'm waiting for the door from BCS anyway. It comes with an alternative deer stalker sculpt. So, I'm gonna use a generic black suit, with the Poptoys coat and your scarf!

The Poptoys/daco version I have just in his suit, playing the violin.

While we're on the subject - Holy cow that Poptoys violin is superb! Makes the BCS one look like a hunk of plastic rubbish.

Don't want to disappoint you, but ,as violinist for a long time, I need to say-BC violin still have most similar to real violin lines and proportions.Pop toys shape is more like 1/12 violoncello.But definitely better as any Barbie doll violins.

I'm not disappointed. Quite the opposite.

I know, you said that before. I'm not talking about accuracy, more the detail and what it looks like on display

 

[gido]

It looks really nice I agree

From what you're saying, it would've been nice to have the pop level of detail on the BCS shape accuracy.
