Star Ace Marilyn Monroe 1:6

Why did my comment disappear? It was overwhelmingly positive.

I think this looks a great deal better. I agree it's not perfect, but if this is what they had shown to begin with I doubt the hate would be quite as great for it. Paint and sculpt appear improved. They also may have done a better job photographing it, but it doesn't really look that bad. It's funny the comparisons people are making with other likenesses. Women with a particular facial symmetry do bare a resemblance to each other. I admit I don't see some of the women who've been mentioned in this sculpt, but I can understand others who see the likeness.

"Hate" is a strong word. Also, you can't speak for anyone else but yourself because sculpts are always very subjective.

I don't hate it. Frustrated? Yep. I've been a fan of Marilyn all my life, so I would've loved them to have made the definitive MM in 1/6. For me, this is still a huge miss. I've kept my subscription to this thread in the hopes it will get there - as we all know, SA can do great figures.

I think the forum sometimes eats comments. Sometimes my comments just randomly disappear, and I know that there was nothing wrong in it, or replying to something that's bound to get deleted.

This is another update on the Marilyn headsculpt. The previous version was deleted and comments based on those pics were also deleted. This is production paint:

I kinda dig it, pretty big improvement.

Still looks nothing like Marilyn. Looks like someone dressing up as Marilyn for Halloween. Seems I'll be waiting for the real Norma Jeane.

She is not there yet. Like I said in the deleted comments, eyelashes!!
Her lips also need to be 2% fuller.

Maybe I'm not a hardcore Marilyn fan like some of you but these updated pics look way better than the last ones.

Same here, not too bad at all.

Looks better.
The huge earrings are a bit distracting though.

It does look better, but the eyes still look zombie-ish IMO.

If they do a 7 Year Itch (white dress) I'll definitely check it out.

Eyes and hair are painted wonky- but I see her in the sculpt so let's hope production version is a win..

 

[hoodonit00]

I don't see a damn thing wrong with it.

 

[Captain Clown]

It looks a lot better, but something still feels weird about it.

 

[screamingmetal]

Looks exactly like Marilyn Monroe to me.
I have the Toys McCoy version so unless I can get the head from this and update that old release, I'm stuck with it.

 

[WolfBoy]

Most definitely an improvement.

Edit - never mind

She doesn't look half bad, she'd really pop on a shelf.
