Dude, seriously after the Rosie in leather all issues are forever null & void.

I mean think about it. Someone not only had that idea, but followed through with it.

Just bring me whatever Alice that is released. If there are changes, so be it. It will be the best Alice from RE: Afterlife out there. I'll enjoy it in my collection. Just please let me forget the Rosie that I have seen.
 
I feel the same way when I'm at TRU and have to pass by the endcap with the Bieber dolls. :gah:

Have you not developed a route to maximize your viewing experience at TRU? You practically have to have a playbook for each store. Like if you frequent a Target. If there are two doors enter the doors that doesn't have Grocery (& occasionally Pharmacy) on the outside wall. That door usually leads straight to toys/electronics, unless it's located at the back of the store.

First the angle...and now the lens distorsion :thud:

Yes, sure, certainly the wider Head Shape is caused by a lens distorsion of the cameras for ALL pictures taken, (no matter of the distance from which the picture was taken) and people who have seen Alice in person at Toy hunters display window and recent fair may have the same "lens distorsion" problem in their eyes in addition... :/

And Why the hell ALL other pics taken from the "old" Alice prototype were'nt as wide and looked fine and narrowed?? (even the closest ones)

If the final and retailer sculpt ended up looking more like the proto with narrowed head shape ( :pray: hopefully so :pray:) and not like this sculpt, then there will be some people who laugh at others saying that they were right and that was due a lens distortion, angle, and people who saw Alice in person had eye problems or whatever..when the reality and logic is that HT have reconsidered for better (due the bad feedback), and because this Headsculpt was'nt final after all ..:lecture

None of these shots are consistent. Explain how and why these pics look so different, with the older pic you chickenlittled on top and the one that looks like the prototype on the bottom:
Then you're blind. Compare the two ____ty pics. The sculpt in the newest looks longer from forehead to jaw. Makes me wonder if the first one was photoshopped:

The older ____ty pic:

The "3 hours ago" ____ty pic:
2011-08-17_17-24-02_560-1.jpg

You don't see an elongating of the head between the pics? :dunno

And then look at this. The headsculpts don't even look the same between this cameraman's own shots!:

So much talk of reality, why not come back to it? :cuckoo:
 
Yes, sure, again.. whatever :rotfl


Did'nt you notice that all share the same damn thing??


WIDER & ROUNDED HEAD SHAPE :/

Find one single picture of the old prototype where she has a wider headsculpt like this man!

And BTW.. All this pictures posted are what we discussed time ago about "slight" differences due a different lighting condition or different angle for example.. but you can take any of old pictures from the old prototype and compare with any of the new ones and you'll see a "drastic" difference: Wider and rounded headshape because it's a different Headsculpt :/

Once again: The lighting does'nt distort "the shape" in that way dude

I agree. Those saying this is just lens distortion are in absolute denial and even if the final product ends up like the prototype, it doesn't suddenly mean the new version we saw wasn't awful.
 
posted it a few pages back, but

for those of you that are not familiar with it, thee is a filter in photoshop that removes camera/ lens distortion.
I ran one of the pictures through te filter, and THIS was the result.

as you can see by the image warping at the sides, there is considerable distortion in the original image.

I don't know if it's a new sculpt, the same sculpt, or what, BUT the roundness of the head IS being caused by lens distortion.

when you do 3d modeling, fixing head roundness of source photography with photoshop is something you do alot of, because it's a common problem with Almost ALL cameras.
 
Either Hot Toys are trolling everyone with displaying a silly head sculpt OR the camera men are trolling us. Damn you both then! We need OMG's photos to really seal the deal and be the final say on the sculpt!

The shape still looks different (more rounded/wider) than the original sculpt.
 
^ lips seem different as well. Haven't ordered as there's enough on the plate already but will decide whether to pick this up or not depending on some in hand pics. Hot Toys' recent record of delivering quality head sculpts is stellar (minus that guy with the whip and hat..) so it doesn't worry me too much.
 
I was thinking of getting this.

But the first sculpt was almost perfect.

The only thing they had to do was give her a bit more fuller hair to her part on her left hand side which makes her look stunning. And some colour tips also it looks to plain and greasy.

Now the eyes are too small and her mouth is too small.

The thing about Mia is she has cat like eyes and a wide mouth.

It looks like a Barbie head now!!

This is very very scary if Hot Toys could make such a mistake they seem to be going backwards in some areas.

Or is this joke !!!:panic:

Call me crazy or sttuborn..but I keep seeing and thinking that this headsculpt is pretty different (something is missing there...less likeness, and the head is still more rounded) comparing with the prototype pics :dunno

Not to mention the testimonies of people who have seen both headsculpts in person (old prototype an this "new") at toyhunters window display, and ensure that HT have changed the HS..and I would say that is unlikely to be due to a "possible" change of lighting of the place :lecture (toy hunters window display I mean)
