The warholized head on the teaser is probably the actual sculpt.

And judging by those earrings, this is probably from 'The Seven Year Itch'.

Hope they get K.A. Kim to do the sculpt again.

The Blitzway Gentleman Prefer Blondes is one of my favorite statues.

If the Warhol teaser is the actual sculpt as you said, would the below photo be what the Blitzway statue is based on?

Doing a quick google search, this was the closet match I could find in terms of the face.

I was hoping the statue was based off of that first iconic photo you posted, with that specific pose and facial expression - guess we will find out soon.

Ok, now this one is very tempting. If this statue is an exceptional representation of that scene above ...then I can definitely see myself getting this. Without a doubt.

Oh wow, this would be tempting. I have the gold dress version and it turned out insanely nice.

I think we have a winner. It HAS to be the subway grate scene, and your pic is indeed the closest to the teaser. Unless they've modified it a bit.

Re: Blitzway: Marilyn Monroe Statue (2020) 1:4

That's one of the most iconic pics of Marilyn. I really hope this statue is that pose/scene. That would be epic!

【 Description 】
.
"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle.?
?Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.?
-Marilyn Monroe-
.
.
Marilyn Monroe, a blonde goddess that represented an entire century, the dream girl of every man.
A woman who was trying to hold down her flying white dress while enjoying the wind with the brightest expression.
.
The single monochrome photography that mesmerized everyone around the world also attracted all the designers & artists of Blitzway.
Although it was a vintage photograph without colors, we were able to feel the vivid scene that cannot be compared to anything else from the bright, goddess-like smile of Marilyn.
.
While her gentle smile, reacting to the breeze from the vent, is very beautiful in itself, the flow of her skirt fluttering in the wind brings her beauty and attractiveness to the highest level.
To perfectly capture and recreate this wonderful moment, the artists of Blitzway have taken great pains over this work examining her photos and videos.
.
Produced by the delicate touch of our sculptors, Marilyn?s beautiful, long legs stretch out to the side, creating a wonderful harmony with the curvy lines of her slightly crouched upper body, and these make the viewers to feel as if they are experiencing the same moment with the blonde goddess.
To realistically recreate the graceful flow of her skirt fluttering in the wind, we attempted countless methods, and after going through many trials and errors, we were finally able to find the perfect answer.
.
The elegant circular base, which resembles the shape of a vent, gives her a more luxurious ambiance; while the newly developed electric turntable base helps the viewers fully appreciate the fantastic curvy silhouette of her skirt blowing in the wind.
.
Now, with this masterpiece, born from the fingertips of the experts of Blitzway, we hope you will be able to enjoy the true beauty of Marilyn Monroe.

WOW! No words ...just WOW!

Re: Blitzway: Marilyn Monroe Statue - 'The Seven Year Itch' 1:4

Wow this looking amazing! Any word on price?

ah, just saw the price $460. A bit too much for me since I already own the first one and it was $100 cheaper. she looks amazing though so congrats to those getting her!

Re: Blitzway: Marilyn Monroe Statue - 'The Seven Year Itch' 1:4

$459 on Blitzway...

Getting too used to Prime1 1/4 pricing... this is so cheap. Instant buy.

But that release date... Q4 2020??? Did they mean 2021?

Re: Blitzway: Marilyn Monroe Statue - 'The Seven Year Itch' 1:4

WOW! No words ...just WOW!

Yeah, this is a gorgeous piece.

The credits list Rainman as the sculptor- is this the same person who does a lot of the excellent custom figures (that eventually get recast) or am mixing this up with someone like Iminime?

Yeah, I definitely did not balk upon seeing the price. Day 1 preorder.

Like you said, I am getting used to Prime 1 pricing which can run over $1,000+.

Obviously Marilyn is not as intricate a piece as say Alita but considering the current market, I would say the price is relatively fair at $450.

2020 release? Wishful thinking perhaps?

Re: Blitzway: Marilyn Monroe Statue - 'The Seven Year Itch' 1:4

i just noticed the turntable on/off switch - is that battery operated only?

i did not see a USB input. I tend not to leave batteries in my figures/statues due to past experiences of forgetting and eventual damage from batteries leaking.

nice option though. probably will test it after unboxing but remove the batteries right after.

Re: Blitzway: Marilyn Monroe Statue - 'The Seven Year Itch' 1:4

$459 is not a bad price! Will definitely get this!

Re: Blitzway: Marilyn Monroe Statue - 'The Seven Year Itch' 1:4

I'm in as soon as sideshow starts pre orders!

 

[sabin23]

Blitzway: Marilyn Monroe Statue - 'The Seven Year Itch' 1:4

Did Blitzway take some artistic liberties with the original reference material?

Maybe it is just the angle or just this specific photo, but Marilyn looks slightly more slender in statue form and she seems a little more upright.

Not complaining, just an observation.

Thanks for the side by side comparison.

Re: Blitzway: Marilyn Monroe Statue - 'The Seven Year Itch' 1:4

Body is so far off. Not to mention the cleavage they have added.

Not a realistic representation of Marilyn Monroe at all.
