Ghostbusters 1/4 Peter Venkman HCG

[Adolfo]

Yeah this one looks so close to being great. Hope they do a little more work on the face sculpt

yup close...it needs the face improved a little just to get it over the edge

Man, they really need to hire or outsource better sculptors for doing the heads on pieces where human likenesses are required. Another HCG disappointment in my books.

From the other Forum...

"Venkman head is not final as it is subject to be approved by licensor. But HCG will be grateful to hear from the fans, so post here your comments and suggestions and I will be glad to pass them to the HCG people."

My suggestion would be to make it look like 80's Bill Murray.

They could hire Snyderman, that would help.

Good from far and.......never mind. Not even good from far, that portrait is very off.

Suit looks cool though.

I have quite a few HCG pieces(no humans though). I like when they do something well, but as others said, not feeling the likeness on this one. Hopefully they can tweak it some before production.

commission Trevor Grove to sculpt a new head and you got a killer Venkman statue

LOL!
That's a great place to start, specifically '84.

This.

lol, hhhhhhhell no this looks really bad

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

The likeness is pretty loose

Likeness problems aside, who would want a statue of Bill Murray in their home? (It's kind of a funny choice in some respects...) Now if it were Sigourney Weaver, I'd understand...

Bill Murray is an iconic actor. His style of comedy is unique and so is he. This headsculpt is a real shame because I think there are many fans that would appreciate a set of 1/4 scale Ghostbusters statues.

Funny you should mention that. HGC's web site says they are in Orlando Florida, which is 30 miles or so from where the Snyder's live. I ask them why they weren't doing work for that company and they said they tried several times to find out where to submit a portfolio with no response or interest. That Venkman statue could certainly shine with a portrait by Joy. Their Selene products could have benefitted from her work as well.

 

[Centurion]

No doubt. Take all the Ghostbusters, each with a very good likeness, throw in a Ecto 1, and it will be a grail for many.

HCG? That's a big pass. I'm still pissed at their 1:2 Endo bust POS.

What happened with your 1:2 Endo?

 

[holtrax]

In fairness everything up to the head is excellent. The suit and equipment looks spot but then we see the headsculpt which only slightly resembles murray if even that. Bill never had that much hair and also he's too pudgy in that sculpt. A pass for me unfortunately.

This looks more like his brother Bob
