Feng's is definately the best likeness to Cobb and Dicaprio, then Sunoch's, then Headplay which looks zero like either the character or DiCaprio. In fact the head that comes with the ACI body looks more like it then Headplay which looks way too thin and asian IMO. Easily Headplay's worst likeness.

I get the opinion thing but people put too much into that sometimes. Opinions can be wrong. A blind person their whole life has never seen a color, so in their opinion the sky could be green and becasue they dont know any better thats fine. But the fact is to the majority of society, we have come togeather and agreed the color were going to call the sky is blue.

The same rules of shapes and features accepted by the majority of people apply here, and the fact is that from a guy who owns none of them and is not biased, Feng's looks the most like Dicaprio. Its fine if you prefer another, thats where the IMO works, but the fact remains those two look little like who they are supposed to.

Bravo to my man Deckard who had the guts to put it all out there on the line and state the blunt reality without sounding like a d!ck about it.

There's no room for budging on this one.

Now where can I find that damn gun??



Really? Cos I kinda thought he did sound like a d!ck. :dunno


There are certain "shapes and features" that Feng captured better, and certain "shapes and features" that Headplay captured better. That leaves room for varying opinions...






...IMO.

I was thinking about the likeness comparison issue today, and I think I realized why the Headplay sculpt looks more like Leo to me.

The hardest faces to capture are those with the fewest pronounced facial features. Leo has a very well proportion face, which means that it's hard for a sculptor to focus on certain features. Take Sunohc's Arthur for example. It is not a terribly accurate likeness in my opinion, but it absolutely brings out certain features of JGL's face (dumbo ears, long distance from eyes to lips). Sunohc's Arthur is almost a caricature of Joseph Gordon Levitt. A caricature is defined as "a portrait that exaggerates or distorts the essence of a person or thing to create an easily identifiable visual likeness." This is why Arthur works.


I think the Headplay sculptor has managed to do this with Dicaprio, which as I said is difficult because his face is so evenly proportioned. The only feature that I can put my finger on is the one that gets the most criticism: The squinty eyes. They are exaggerated a bit, but they make me think of Cobb.





So while Fengs perhaps gets the ratios closer to correct, it doesn't remind me of Leo as much.

That head that keeps popping up that seems to be undersized, is that the "dreamcatcher" head?
 
the dreamcature head is for sure pea sized. I know this because I put my feng head on a slim body and it looks great, so all of those shots on the regular narrow and it looks way out of proportion on a slim it would look even still out of proportion.
 
There is actually a thread in the general collectibles section:
https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90654

it was opened by Mag.


oh ok :slap

sorry, completely forgot about that thread, and I posted in there before too! :lol

But you gave some great info there Mag and you Cobb definitely looks much better on that ACI body. Don't mind the wrist peg thing. I'll take a little mod and less money over the more expensive TT :D
 
Am I late to the party ? what's going on?! I can see Inception figures in the background on a stand that only one person in this forum has...

Mag... is that you ? XD , you made my day on comixed.com.
