Red Sonja She-Devil with a Sword PF

[Transient]

Yeah, if Sonja's skin tones come out like Blitzway's Marilyn it'd probably be the best statue release ever. That statue just has a ridiculous amount of detail. It is truly crazy. You can't tell she has freckles until you are like 4-6 inches away from her, but they put them there anyway.

I'd like to think that the first Sonja paint-up and Conan amongst others are Sideshow's growing pains in trying to realize a vision of what a natural skin tone looks like in favor of painting everything a more-or-less single shade.

Anyway, I was super pleased with Kerrigan and am hopeful the final release of this Sonja will show similar quality.

Honest question -- is it possible to replicate that kind of paintjob on polystone material? I thought that's the reason why Blitzway made their 1/./4 line a hybrid of polystone and PVC. PVC for the face, so they can achieve HT-like paintjob on their statues. I've seen a repaint of the Sonja Victorious statue that looks really great and life-like, skintone, freckles, and all-- but the artist used oil instead of acrylics.

You can get freckles and all with acrylics on most any material

 

[HeubertMichael]

I see. So it all sums up to the worksmanship SSC chooses to deliver, then.

Same thing I posted on the other forum

With primer it doesn't matter, and while they don't use it their base coat that they use for the skin tone is basically the same thing anyways.

Probably the reason why they choose PVC for the face cause it's not really painting, their mixing the colors into the material and can get a machine to do a lot of the work for making a good skin tone.

I have my painter Vincent ready to repaint her already

I wish Torres would accept mine as well; but I got told he isn't doing statues anymore. Mainly wants to focus on his art.

 

[HeubertMichael]

That's unfortunate for those who wanted to get him for PF repaints. IMO he's the best and makes the most life-like repaints.

Wow, that's night and day.

That is night and day. Anymore high res shoots?

fyi it's not a complete repaint

1,500 Ex. Price probably kept it relatively low.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

With how Harbottle nailed Dark Phoenix, think I'll pass and go with DP instead. Sonja has a gorgeous head sculpt, but 550 is just too much for my liking of a character I hardly know.

I want this and the new Hulk but finding it hard to justify the costs involved, after postage and duty.

Gotta be super selective now due to costs and space.

I hear yah. But next big thing we got is SDCC. So if you come out of that unscathed, maybe you can get em lol. Or time to sell a few older pieces.

Damn ...the ES took awhile to set. I'm glad it did tho. And relatively low, so that's nice.
