Silicone should always have better likeness as long as sculpting and painting are done right. In the movies (I'm working on one right now, but a foot in the door job) silicone is the only thing that'll look real enough to be close as possible for a likeness like when Nebula holds a silicone Star Lord body at the beginning of Guardians 3. Silicone also won't stain and doesn't absorb moisture unless it's not the real stuff (no way SGD tifa is the real thing for the low price). Look up Bobby C David The Lost Boys for a good example of the real deal (but also costs a fortune).I think its quite hard to make a anime style character like this not to look like a *** doll lol. Especially when silicone and big busts are involved! . Also doesn't help that she's half naked here lol, but get out of that mindset, I think artistically it looks great.
As for likeness, I think they did a great job for it being in silicone, I also think it looks better than the Gametoys head, just more like life and not emotionless like what GT has done. I do wonder on the quality of the clothing and if the dye will bleed onto the silicone, that would suck.
I see some Sephiroth eyes, Cloud and Zack eyes, Aerith eyes I think.. Help me out with this Eye Spy, y'allView attachment 694603

Just adding to this, apparently it's been difficult for some players to get the prize at this point. But they're still going for around 140 on Ebay and 100 on Mercari.Tifa Kuji game prize arrived today. Definitely well worth the price (100 dollars plus shipping) from Mercari via Buyee. I love the pose and the action shot and the details are pretty good for the size and price.

I'm hoping a bigger one gets made someday because it's so much better than all the sexy pose tifa's around. Also, if another one is made I hope they mirror the pose because the prize figure uses the wrong arm it's still very cool though and I love itJust adding to this, apparently it's been difficult for some players to get the prize at this point.

A GT reissue/ rebirth version of the gang with rolling eyes and updated paint apps for the older figures would be ‘chef kiss’View attachment 694603

Agreed. I think the "bad" vs. "good" sculpt debates are somewhat because of the difficulty in translation from 2d screen shots to real life materials. i.e. silicone.I think its quite hard to make a anime style character like this not to look like a *** doll lol.

The beauty of it now is that you can take sculpts right from games and add your own textures, etc in like Limtoys does to make their sculpts very accurate (Joel and Nathan Drake). I think that 1/1 Sephiroth at Square headquarters translated very well (that was back in AC days, but still). I have a pic of Limtoys doing it for Joel.Agreed.

I'm actually surprised they didn't make a new updated Cloud, but maybe they are afraid of the backlash of decreasing the value for the remake one?A GT reissue/ rebirth version of the gang with rolling eyes and updated paint apps for the older figures would be ‘chef kiss’

My guess is they probably won't ship out anything till they have both boxesI wonder how online shops like FNC and OneSixthKit are going to handle this. It's weird they're going to separate the clothes.
I really hope if you are redoing the headsculpts with movable eyes, that they're also going to be sold separately.
I know it's not likely, but I'd kill for the Shinra commander variant with the red and green colorscheme.
