Statue HCG Joker life size bust

[azurepred]

I agree, his 1:1 or 1:3 would be worth cutting some of the "fat" off of the collection.

This bust indeed looks a lot cheaper then pre-production pictures where BobbyC has painted the bust himself.

I have to see the bust for myself before I can give a final judgement but on the pictures on Statueforum it looks not a 600$ bust.

 

[BobbyC]

Yeah guys, I think my days off Mass production are over .
I wish HT would except American artist and do 1/1 . it is a shame that they dust every company out there , and they are 1/6th scale.

just my thoughts.

Actually retail price was $799. When I pre-ordered I was able to get it for $675 shipped, but I canceled and don't regret that decision one bit.

Too bad HCG ruined your wonderful sculpt, Bobby. Even though Sideshow is far from perfect I think even they would've done it much more justice than HCG.

I don't want to see more pictures, that thing looks awful.

Yeah guys, I think my days off Mass production are over .

One can only hope that the sculptor who set out to "dust" CM will now come to appreciate the subtle differences between a fully controllable commission environment and the challenges posed when trying to make a piece available to a wider audience.

Feel a bit bad commenting on Obigface's collection thread so I'll post it here instead. It looks disgusting.

 

[BobbyC]

I think there is a big difference simone, between a bad paint job and a bad likeness. and $2000 dollars and $700 . not defending this piece at all, however it is a vast difference

There is a difference.

However, looking at this particular piece, do you think the production heads have distorted a bit? Look way too narrow to me and your hand painted version looks a lot better proportioned.

 

[RIDDICK]

LMAO the only good things there is sculpt, shirt and tie

 

[OBigFace]

Actually I expected high quality for this piece but when the box was opened, it's not what it meant to be. Anyway I can accept what lies inside because of 3 reasons : Bobby C Sculpture, Heath Ledger and the character "Joker"

$700 Bust.

LOL if its not looking like a 600$ bust it wil never look like a 700$ Bust.

but I get your point

My bust cost around the 775$ but I thougt some people may have got it cheaper.

But as I see the pictures now I'm realy dissapointed.
for me it's not a cheap bust or somthing like that.
But the PJ makes it look like a 300$ or maby a 400$ bust.
If I see the pre-production pictures I still would say worth the money but now not even the half of it.

PHOTO COURTESY OF ORIGINAL @ STATUE FORUM

I have to agree the paint work is not as good as the pre-production photos. I however am going to keep mine on order. Reason for that is i paid $600 and its been paid off for 3 months. If i did not pre-order and pay this off I would have never paid $600 for this. It looks painted and the colors are off. The pre-production photos actually looked like make up. Maybe a re-paint is in my future for this. Also whats up with the base? $700 bust and we get a plain plastic base WTF?

Does Anyone have this in hand yet? Or is this a Sample that belongs to Bobby C? For those of you knocking this piece, I have to say, I have never been disappointed or let down by any of Hollywood Collectibles Group's products. I think they are fantastic!

Cancel it while there's still time. That would be my advice.

 

[gypsycatcha]

Its disappointing but im trying so hard to like it lol
I dont think it looks really bad but not as good as the first production shots

 

[intothevoid]

It's mostly the paint really.

And the sculpted hair doesn't work too well at this scale IMO. Also like I said I think the head proportion seems to not have translated too well in mass production, appears thin to me
