Cinemaquette Sparrow

[TOE]

 

[Darren Carnall]

Look, I know you're all spending a lot of money on this piece so you're all very attatched to it, and I do agree that as a bunch of collectibles the Cinemaquette stuff is simply fabulous. Their stuff looks amazing.

I really hope I'm wrong. I hope they fix the hair, and I do hope for you all that was all that was making it look like a stranger dressed up as Jack Sparrow... because at the moment it isn't Jonny Depp. It could just be the hair and makeup... things like that really can make a difference. They might have just dressed the hair wrong (we all remember their Aragorn.... which had a fabulous sculpt... but the hair threw it off)

but I guess it's the artist in me, I can't have people say it's perfect., and that it's the best Depp likeness ever... because as it stands? it just isnt. The picture below looks infinitly more like Depp... and this was done in 1/6 scale! (sorry about the number of pics, they all came together and I didn't have time to edit them)

But listen... i do hope your statue comes out as amazing as you all think it is. I know if i was spending that much money on something (I wish) I'd want it to be perfect too.

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna buy that. Would've loved the coat and hat, but it's perfect still.

My priblem w/every Jack, is the sculptures leave out any hint of humor, which NEVER leaves his face. They always try to make him look 'cool' which he is, but he's a constant fool too.

Actually, an overwhelming number of previous Cinemaquette owners (including myself) passed on Aragorn because the sculpt didn't look like him. The most common response I've read was, "He looks great from the neck down".

i'm so totally putting that on the gift registry for our wedding...

Both sculpts look really good to me.

 

[Josette]

The main problem I have with Jack is that a) the face appears too wide, or b) there's not enough hair around the sides of his face. I think if the hair was adjusted or they'd made it thicker, placing it down the sides of his face better, it would be amazing because the face wouldn't look as full, and it would be more accurate as well.

But the lack of the hat and the coat would be a huge negative for me, and I would want to have them made specifically for the piece. For the price you are paying, Jack Sparrow should come complete with his 'effects', as they are important to him in the film. IMHO, it's BS that they didn't include them. Absolute and utter BS.

I have to agree....although I still love this statue. Every sculpt takes Jack way too seriously. While I don't agree that he is a fool, he is quite accidentally clever.


I CAN'T WAIT GUYS!~!!!!

I have to say that Kojun doesn't look near as much like Depp as the CMQ. The face is too narrow, there's less expression in it too.

I'm guessing pictures don't do it enough justice, cos seeing it at SDCC tripped me out with how perfect the likeness was.

Lucky *******! I can't wait to see it in person.

When I saw at SDCC last year, I had to do a double take. It's very very well done IMO. The skin tone and even a little glimmer in the eye (yeah....I probably THOUGHT I saw it) was so very realistic. If I had that kind of cash, I'd be all over it.

Do you have any pictures of your own from SDCC? I would love to see some more.

 

[Wetanut]

sorry.....I'm techno-challenged. I can take the pics but downloading, posting, etc., is just way beyond my simple brain. (just ask anybody who's known me a bit....they will verify that I'm not joking)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the thing that gets me too...a part of me wants to wait for later production pieces like with Arnie, but the other says I shouldn't cos of possible appreciation on him. =/

This looks ZERO like Depp to me. The CM is perfect IMO. Has nothing to do with price or that I like CM's. I just think the CM looks exactly like Depp.
