Shumi Arts: 1:6 Billie Eilish

[Shoo]

Might be the craziest figure I've ever seen. Amazing details of Billie Eilish. Figure by the masters Shumi Arts. These are official Shumi images

I assume limited run custom/ one of a kind custom. That is amazingly realistic

I have absolutely no interest in a Billie Eilish figure but I have to admit this is really, really well done.

It does seem out of left field, but is a great looking piece. I pray some day I see someone doing a vintage, Police-era Sting or late '60s Paul McCartney in this level of quality.

I would absolutely adore a Taylor Swift in this level of quality Particularly in one of her white dresses from earlier in her music career!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Wow!

I would have to buy one for my daughter if it ever came to pass. At least, while we are still experiencing Taylor's 15 minutes of fame. . . *runs away*

Oh man I’d be oh so ecstatic if that were to happen!!!

I’d just LOVE a Love Story Taylor Swift for example

I wonder, is this what figure collecting looks like post Marvel, D.C, Star Wars? For some reason, I'm just not enthusiastic about buying figures (action figures or statues) related to musicians or artists....now,give me a runway model line, of female athletes - then I could get on board.

A figure line of classic beauties in their most iconic outfits would be great. Audrey Hepburn, Monica Bellucci, Olivia Wilde etc etc.

Where did the photos come from? Can you post a link?

They're said to be original Shumi Arts photos, but their Facebook group is private:

There's a website and Instagram too, but I couldn't see the photos there.

Onesixthkit's Facebook.

Yeah, I looked there afterwards when I saw the thread got moved to the Custom creations section - I first thought that, this being Shumi Arts, who are partnered with Prime 1 for their Severus Snape and now M3GAN statues, this would be official, but it doesn't seem to be the case, indeed.

 

[histrionics]

This is amazing! It seems to be an articulated figure that can change and hold poses very naturally, displaying like a statue in whatever chosen pose. Look at the details on the fingers! The knit and stitching on the clothes! Everything is so rigorously scaled down in 1:6 to approximate 1:1 as closely as possible.

 

[Mogli]

The quality of custom figures seems to be getting much higher, I never cared for customs in the past, but they look so good now it seems worth the price for something no official company would ever make. I'm so tired of the same comic book and movie stuff over and over, it's tempting to cancel some preorders to save up for commissioning a few things.

 

[a-dev]

Impressive.

Where's the guy who wanted a Kylie Minogue figure? Can imagine his reaction to this...

 

[Shoo]

For what it's worth, they have an Avril Lavigne coming, too, but there are no close-ups of that one, yet.

After all the popular media stuff, I suspect the focus of 1/6 scale collecting will be what it was before all that, which is military figures. Stuff like this is more niche and will never dominate the market in my opinion.

That's an odd choice. Random pop star from the early 2000s. Think I'll hold off until Ricky Martin gets released.

I'd be shocked, and amazed if 1/6 returns to military. If it did, the customer base would decline - rapidly. Too many people have been suckling at the breast of corporate intellectual property for so long now, many "collectors" would shrivel up and combust at the thought of buying Navy Seals and Spetznatz....God forbid they're exposed to WWII figures.

This is coming from a guy whose (minor) 1/6 collection is devoted to military, with only a single Hot Toys Marvel figure.....which I bought by mistake.

I'm not familiar with the source material (I know who she is, I mean the video or photo or whatever with the snake) ... if that's in fact an anaconda they're replicating based on colour and pattern, I can't tell exactly from the photos but they may have offset the head too much and made it look too narrow and python-like. Can't make it out at this angle and resolution to be sure.
