Glad I cancelled.

I don't know you guys but it looks so bad from this angle...

 

[ActionJackson83]

HAHAHAHA look at his legs, waist and total lack of a backside.

 

[BobaNerd]

Damn that is bad. Gross...


Wait, I went back a bunch of pages to read up on all the optimism for this guy.....LMAO!

 

[Road1]

I think this statue looks terrible and what's up with the S on the chest. Looks sunk in. This statue did not
look Comic-Con ready or ready for anything for that matter. Glad I didn't order this one.

Quick Photoshop on the Reeve PF. Shows where changes can be made to improve.

After seeing so complex line of Court of the Dead, I couldn't understand how Sideshow can't nail a human body? Or how do they approve this proto? Everything is wrong with this statue

Comic PF beats this every way imaginable it's not funny and I'm a MASSIVE CR fan.

I don't think it has to do with actual anatomy. Because the anatomy is correct, I think it has to do with body mass and I think they were trying for a pose that was "dynamic" yet "iconic". Normally Iconic poses are very stoic so to try and put any kind of dynamic where the muscles tight and still keep the feel you're going for might be tough to pull off design wise and then to miss on the body mass compounded the mistake.

If you look I changed nothing with the pose, just his mass and I think it makes it look better. I think if they made his musculature a bit more pronounced it would hide some of the things wrong with the pose.

I'm not sure your Photoshop skills can save this one Josh.... His outfit is bad, his pose is bad his likeness is bad, it's just a bad statue all around... For a big company like Sideshow they should of thrown this out and started over... Just goes to show you the bean counters are in charge, only bean counters would push this out the door.

Any chance you can photoshop his right fist pumping hand to make it faced down similar to like his left one is?

As much as we disagree, this is the one statue I won't defend as far as putting out a poor product. Usually I'll say that art is in the eye of the beholder, but we all know that with these statues we're looking for a representation of specific character played by specific actor from a specific film and that all care should be taken to make sure it is accurately represented. While I think the over all design can be saved, you're right, it needs an overhaul.

I can't say this is all Matt Black's fault either, it starts at the concept. I think this was a team failure.

Not without major work I'm not prepared to do tonight. I'll see what I can do this weekend though.

 

[Solarsailor]

This is one piece where less is more. Too much going on - badly. The head doesn't even look like it lines up with the chest on side view. Feel sorry for the team that put this together, taking pelters but sideshow can make outstanding statues.

 

[67L88Stingray]

I still think they should scrap it and do it right, but too many people have ordered so not going to happen. If we are lucky in a few years we get another or a LSF hopefully.

Bruce's video.

The likeness is there in Blacks facial Sculp, but I don't now what is going on in the body..... I defended this one like crazy, but it just doesnt look right here.
