You can bet on it, it worked well for WW (trying on dresses) and they need to sell Barbies, so yeah, they'll do it.

True, I would imagine WW84 would be a different sculpt.
Hopefully, like you said though, maybe once more people have this, it might actually be a lot better in hand.
That's happened so many times where pictures dont seem to do a figure justice.
At the very least, even on worse case scenario, its not like the sculpt is bad, its just that the proto showed a lot of potential.
But its not like the sculpt is horrible.
Heck, I ate crow cause I kept saying it looks like a dude. And now with more pics, definitely not the case.
I guess we'll see once we start seeing more in hand pics/videos.

Yeah I concur it’s not perfect, but I can definitely still see Gal in it. As I mentioned, the fact that it’s the same sculpt as the TA sculpt (which I like) gives me hope that in hand, it’ll look fine.
And for unitformity’s sake, being that this is meant to serve as a WW solo film representation for me, I like that they’re the same sculpt.

Looking at those comparison pics, it's quite clear that the paint job isn't helping elevate the likeness at all.
The shape of the eyebrows is completely wrong (you'd think they would've fixed that from the first one), as well as the lips. A skilled painter could fix that.
The other thing is the fact that they got the hairline wrong. Gal has a very high forehead, and in almost every single photo, you can see the forehead clearly between the top of the tiara and the hairline. HT decided to hide the hairline with the tiara, and that messes up the entire look and likeness.
And the nose, well... that's just too bad.
Looks photoshopped to me for some reason

Can they stop doing rooted hair already? It seldom looks good unless it is professionally styled.
Beautiful woman: yes.
Gal Gadot: no.
Gal Gadot: no.

Eh. Doesn’t look too impressive in those pics.

That last photo with the cloak looks quite awesome.
Regarding sculpts, the nose does seem bigger, but then again the eyes are also bigger. Sorta balances it back.
Seen amateur sculptors show progress photos, trying to sculpt individual features based on photos and the end result doesn't look like the character. Sometimes its taken it all in and reaching a balance.

That rooted hair does not suit her, looks like a wig or needs restyling. That bloody pointy nose can puncture a tyre!!! Sorry but I still don't see much Gal in there. Need to see this figure in the hands. Maybe it's her stunt double...
Saw this on FB
Seriously , I think people should wait to see it in hand before knocking it down. The hair styling is the key element IMO
This is nicer. If this is the TA scuplt?.... geez why couldn't HT just use it with a better hair doo or sculpted hair.

Agreed. It’s the rooted hair. The training sculpt is a great likeness, but something about the rooted hair is throwing it off.

All great points. I think the likeness is there, but it’s definitrly the paint and the hairline as you mentioned. The production paint should have accentuated the lips more as well. Gal Gadots lips are a lot fuller.
Hence why...
...With Winona having a bigger nose and smaller lips in comparison.
Hopefully this looks better in hand.

The head looks a little small too me also.
Yup that's what I've been saying as well. The BVS head was made slightly bigger to work on the much bigger body, but it looks like they made this the standard size they use for their other female figures. And it seems to be messing up the proportions a bit.

I have one on the way and should be here tuesday or wednesday so i will do a side by side shot and then I will decide which one to keep and which one to sell on. IF BvS is better I'll be keeping that one. The only reason I was 'upgrading' was for her black coat as I was never really impressed with the JL head sculpt.
