Ok, I am not sure if GG will like this or not but ....

So much for lazer scanning.

 

[The Josh]

Kind of what it looks like sadly.

I think I understand why GG is asking that this image not be shown. The response is decidedly mixed. Granted, it says that it is a prototype, so I think we can expect some adjustments before all is said and done.

I did not save the pic at the time I saw, therefore I do not have the pic myself also and can't send to anybody accordingly
sorry

Yeah, I would wait to have this out there full time. I think for this to be as good as the other busts so far from this line they will have to adjust it some.

Pic is up at GGC.

 

[TOE]

for some reason, this is the first that, IMO, does not look like the actor

 

[FelMar]

lots of work to do on that face.

 

[Calle_Sandell]

hmm.. Not what I expected!

Lots of work to do!

 

[Darth Loki]

It's not horrible, but it's easily the worst so far. The face needs to be longer. At least it looks like an elf.

 

[Lembas Eater]

Well, its not as bad as I was expecting based on the comments I had heard.

But THATS what you get from scanning, you get an image of the actor, NOT the character. I see Hugo Weaving there but there isn't much of Elrond. This is why the human hands of sculptors can express more than a computer and machine can.

I do like the inclusion of Anduril.
And I'll still be getting it. But hopefully they will "retool" or I dunno, perhaps reSCULPT the face.

 

[Wetanut]

A definite miss. So far, their LOTR busts have been very very good and I'm generally forgiving on likenesses if the character is one I like, but this one needs work, even for me. Hope they'll put an objective eye to him and tweak it a bit. Otherwise, this baby will NOT come to my house. (I'm now dreading what their Frodo will look like. There hasn't been a spot-on likeness to Wood yet. SS PF has the sculpt down well but the paint has been the problem)

 

[The Josh]

This thing is far far far more off than the SS Aragorn or Frodo for those that think those are off. IMO those two are very solid sculpts and are hand sculpted. There is no excuse for something turning out this bad when it's laser scanned. I'm sorry Loki this is horrible considering the fact they don't hand sculpt these.

 

[KitFisto]

Holy BAD sculpts Batman!

 

[carbo-fation]

That's just plain aweful. He looks nothing like V!

 

[nash]

the laser scan is just the base process. they hand sculpt the details until it's finished.

I don't think he looks any worse than Frodo or Aragorn. If this were made by Sideshow you would be calling the likeness uncanny and breaking out the comparison pics.
