WTH? You couldn't make this up! 
I think Star Ace have definitely lost the plot with this licence!

What a cool figure idea... and horribly executed. What a terrible sculpt.

Warner Bros approved that sculpt?!

The small print at the bottom says it’s pending licensing approval.
I can’t tell you how much I hope they say no and it has to be revised. I would buy this figure but not looking like that!

Well, the GOOD. Wes is that Remus Lupin is just about ready to be released:
Seriously though, it seems painfully clear that at some point Star Ace either made some very poor judgement calls, or were forced into them due to capital restrictions to limit (or remove) the budget for top sculptors. It seems they went from KA Kim to the top kid enrolled in Art II at the local middle school.
Who knows, maybe the top sixth scale sculptors priced themselves outside of Star Ace?s reach, and the company had no choice but to move forward to recoup some portion of the expense th doled out for the licensing rights. But what ever the story is, they are not going to recoup very much money for releases of this quality. Especially since their prices have risen into the $200+ range just like everyone else.
It was a great start, Star Ace. Maybe get out now and recoup the money on a new line.

Investment in a good sculpt would make them sell more figures. This one is beyond salvage. I’m shocked that someone thought it was good enough to show.

Easy pass...will wait for the inevitable Christmas variant.
Seriously though, that's awful.
Hopefully it doesn't get past the approval stage as it needs a hell of a lot of work...what a waste of a licence. 
I really want a McGongall figure from this line, but these recent sculpts aren't exactly instilling me with confidence, god knows what it would look end up looking like.Looks a little like it could be part of Damtoys Gangster Kingdom line

3.5 out of 4 if you only paid $200 for it
I have wantet Wormtail for a long time, but this facesculp looks very cartoonish.
Griphook turned out very good, way have this turned out so bad?

The Kennedy hair is as much a problem as the face sculpt. Perhaps the hair should have been rooted to look thin and unkempt.

I dunno even the Lupin looks pretty off in the background painted photo. It isn't their worst but it is certainly not their best.
