If only JND had painted the eyebrows lighter. I will see if there's any way I can do it to make it look like the adjusted eyebrow colour photo on the right.
Just that simple change to the colour makes a MASSIVE amount of difference (at least to the way my eyes perceive the likeness). I'll always remember the interview I saw with one of Madame Tussauds sculptors who made a special point of saying that the eyebrows can be one of the most important features that make or break a likeness. I agree with them.

This is seriously the most baffling release, where it feels like the buyer is taking a punt on what the hell they're going to get - the thickness of his face is these shots looks about right, whereas every other shots or video makes it look too thin. WTF???? I could kind of understand if it was Indy only but whenever Henry is photographed/videod as well - even with lens distortion - the Henry looks good.

I just don't get it (and my job is working with cameras).

If the statue I receive looks like the one Virtual Devil reviewed, my enthusiasm and excitement for changing it to a Raiders version just got invigorated again!

Could it be that photographing these silicone sculpts is just different in the way they absorb the light, etc?

I only have 2 JND statues, but both look so much better in hand and not as warped or funky as some photos make them out to be.

Honestly, I don't know. I took photos of my The Batman and (I think) they turned out great - with very little effort on my behalf, only one key light.

This one is off an iPhone - again, very little effort put in - and people that see it on the phone think it's a person in a suit.

I just don't get it; the Henry looks great in every photo no matter how badly it's been taken, yet the Indy only looks great in a couple???

Don't know if it's the color, lighting, lensing, or a combination of all, but this it by far the best it's looked to me.
