As much as I want to like this, I’m not totally sold on the likeness yet.

There certainly is a resemblance, but it could be a tad better imo.

Hossein Diba probably did it. He's always on point. Could be a combo of Levi being tough to nail and paint.

For some reason when I zoom in, I think it looks better, but when I zoom out, something is lost.

Likeness is good enough IMO, will look different in different lights

Maybe so.

But this is one piece I can wait until we find out what’s happening between Sideshow and Prime 1.

And/or wherever Prime 1 extend their new rate economy shipping beyond just the US (https://www.prime1studio.com/features).

Likeness is there for me. Still need to see the movie (which I heard is very good).

I heard the same. Imo it’s good. But very good might be stretching things a bit. But honestly only one thing really bothered me, and it was the CGI quality not for Shazam or how his powers were represented etc, but for the conjured creatures. Took me out of the film every time for me. Kind of reminds me of how I felt every time Cyborg was on the screen for Justice League. After watching Shazam now I know why there’s such a vast difference in production cost between it and something in the MCU etc.

I'm digging it, although the thing that might be a miss for me is the 1/3 scale, that's pretty good size for a prone posed figure. This would work better as 1/10th to 1/6th scale.

I think the bubble gum portrait is quite good. The thing that doesn’t work as well for me about the other portrait is that it’s not expressive enough for Levi’s portrayal of the character. What a fun piece though. The costume looks great. Congrats to those who are big enough fans to pick this up.

Is his suit sculpted? It looks like fabric.

Given the seam lines on the arms I’m quite sure it’s sculpted with the cape being the only fabric.

Wow. Could have fooled me! I thought it looked like fabric for sure. Similar to the Justice League Superman?

I’m quite certain both the Henry Cavill Superman pieces are fabric!

Yes, they definitely are. I thought this one was too. Like those.

Zoom in on the photo that I posted that’s the upper chest shot without the advertising. You’ll notice, or rather not notice any threads, or any stitches etc, and that the prints are quite thick. And that arm separation/seam line is too thick and perfect to be anything but sculpted. Whereas with the Superman you can definitely see the individual threads and stitch lines. And I don’t mean something like the first Miller Bats which while very good, was easy to determine it was sculpted after zooming in.

It looks incredible if it’s sculpted. Prime 1 really is the best.

With digital sculpting, it’s not just Prime 1 that are producing this type of quality. Iron Studios is up there, and even Sideshow is starting to bring it, it’s just unfortunate that their paint app lets Sideshow down on their movie based pieces.

Looks good

Prime 1's specialty.
Their Dark Knight batsuit looks a lot like real fabric too.

But this statue is a solid pass for me.
Didn't like the movie, don't really like the statue either.
