Welcome to the forums, and that repaint looks good already Grome!

Errrr... The more I see my RS the more the paint looks so bad. The pink on the body seems like plastic and way too dark like a action figure. Not sure if this can be saved. I wished someone can repaint this for less than 600.00. Hope the next RS PF will be much better painted.

I just sold mine and sent it direct to a painter for the new owner so I think most would agree. Hopefully the next one turns out well.

Just the opposite for me, the more I look at her I could care less about the paint

Are you saying the paint is good or the sculpt is good enough to still look good with poor paint? I loved the proto, but they changed it too much.

 

[Collectorcol]

Love mine too, sculpt and paint.

Dunno why anyone would want her looking shower fresh. She's a warrior on a smokey, dirty battlefield.

To add to what Collectorcol said, she's half naked in a snowy ice cave, she's bound to lose a little color. I think her color was a bit of an upleasant surprise to most, but still it works. The only real letdown to me paintwise is the eye color change= you can't tell they're green unless your two feet away.

That said, I think the sculpt on this is good enough to look amazing with almost any paint application. She still wows me with her shelf presence

Agreed...no shower fresh and pretty for me...bloodied but unbowed is much more appropriate.

The blood is a nice touch. It's the spray tan face and lip gloss that gets in the way of this statue's greatness.

Being a separate piece it would not be hard to have the face redone, and that would help a lot. If the new upcoming PF does not turn out well I may get back into this one and have at least the head redone.

This looks pretty good, love the blood professionally done. The weapons are awesome! As for the general body paint on all these. I wished she had the lighter skin tone the first Ivy did. That would look so much better in my opinion. Most red heads if I remember normally has the very soft light pale skin. The eyes can also use more defing to bring it out with more deeper painting. I really hope the next one will have the much better skin tone paint job.

found a really cool Sonja Custom going on ebay... although somewhat less displayable around family members

***Warning NSFW***

Love the scratches and blood splatter they added to her. The base is cool, but defrosting the giant -not cool lol

[Butttornado]

HaHa! agreed.

 

[mutant-man]

Agreed again. It's so egregious that it's not even interesting.

 

[FriendlySamurai]

what, you wouldn't pay 2k for that?!?! j/k

the snow and frost on the base addition looks really good but they should have added it to the existing base.

 

[dao2]

Are her nipples made of strawberry skittles? o_0

The giant head recolor seemed unnecessary as well

The snow and icicles does look awesome though ^^

 

[FriendlySamurai]

I always suspected...


Not saying I want to trade mine for it, the head ruins it and the breasts make it undisplayable at my place. The base is odd but has some cool ideas. Also like the scratches/cuts painted on with the blood splatter. So far on the repaints Ive only notice splatter but I think the cuts really add to it.

Wow last red Sonja PF on ebay just ended for 260.00.
