Statue Gentle Giant 18" Black Widow - Winter Soldier

3D scan of her face or head to toe? And would the actress herself have just been standing in a neutral position with her arms at her sides and then GG just uses her dimensions as reference while hand sculpting a statue? I guess I'm curious not just for this statue but all collectibles that claim to use real scans of actors.

My take on reading the statement was it's a scan of her from head to toe, then that information was used to create the statue in digital form where they tweaked it to get the pose they want. I would imagine this was printed out using a 3d printer and then minor tweaks by hand.

I tried getting her pistols in again today and the holsters still aren't giving at all. I thought about forcing one to see if it would just snap in and then chickened out. Forget it, I'll try again another day.

I cant get the gun fully into the rigth holster as well. But since it is block from normal viewing I left it just as is. Didnt want risking breaking it.

I like the clear cubes. Look very classy.

I have Artemisia coming as soon as well. Cant wait to compare both.

All you have to do is put a hair dryer on the holster for 10-15 seconds on high and the gun should slip in no problem. That's what I had to do and it worked flawlessly

So, Amazon sold the last 4 statues before I could cancel my order and reorder from a new vendor.

Since the distributor they ordered from is Diamond and, from what you guys say, they are late with product release I guess I'll just have to wait. Which I HATE. But the product looks GREAT.

If anyone else ordered from a Diamond distributor and gets theirs, please post. I'll write to the vendor again when I know that other people have gotten theirs.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

I think I'll leave my original base alone and attempt to make a custom one.
