Loved the Aquaman Movie. I ordered the Sideshow and Prime 1 statues but just couldn't pull the trigger on either of these. The resemblance is just not there.
 
Is it me or is the sculpt in the Instagram photo an improvement? :horror:dunno

Mr J.c Hong just poste this on Instagram..

Not even the hair, it looks to me the actual face sculpt is different/improved. Is that just lighting too?

He says that is the lights ... but I think most of us ... concern about the sculpt of the hair the same way as the JL one ..

I will go out and make the claim that I don't think that the sculpt is bad. Is it perfect? Not 100% but it's not as awful as folks are lining it up to be.

One of the things while watching the movie I found was that the promo pics for the figure make his beard look too smooth and round. He's got a very intentionally scraggly beard. I see much more roughness in the JC Hong sculpt and that helps the appearance a lot.
 
I think they need to improve sculpt on lips and paint on eyebrows..
Also they made his skin too clean and perfect. Imperfection brings hid likeness, I think

Movie was cool. I'm glad that CGI turned out to be amazing, not disaster like in JL. Now i want Mera and Black Manta.
 
Well when I showed the images of JC Hong's sculpt to both my wife and my daughter (independently of each other) they both said it looks like one of our neighbors. And now I see it. And this guy looks nothing like Jason Momoa. So, I'm out on this unless they fix the sculpt, which I'm doubting they will, so I'll wait for the sequel figure and hope for more accuracy.

Darn.
 
Movie was ok, some cool ideas, nice action. Wilson and Kidman were good.

Mera was crap, zero chemistry between her and Aurthur, story was kind of everywhere and 2 villains weren’t needed.

A mixed bag for me.

The money its pulling in is insane, 700 mill already, this will cross 1 billion easy.
 
Who would've thought the savior of DC's shared universe would be Aquaman?
