Star Ace Marilyn Monroe 1:6

[HAL9000.]

BINGO! We have a WINNER!

 

[pjam]

Geez, she looks drug-eyed in these latest pics.

She looks drugged up. What an ominous portent...

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

Several of these latest sculpts from Star Ace are a letdown.

 

[Eamon]

StarAce listens to the fans and as has been pointed out to me they revise stuff after getting feedback. Should any of you from doubt this, may I refer you to the first sculpts of Dumbledore and Hagrid where they listened to the fans on both sculpting and weather to go rooted hair or not.

You can bet they are reading this and adjust things accordingly ad that is how they roll.

They didn't listen to us regarding Selene's costume.

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

Used a software remedy to see what this would look like with heavier eye makeup.

Getting there?

 

[cmiller99]

It's getting there but the mouth still really needs to be fixed.

She isn't out yet, it's possible they're working on a solution.

That mouth really is horrendous. It just brings the likeness down severely. I actually hate this figure, hopefully they fix it.

Marilyn never really wore heavy eye makeup. Her eyes looked that way because of the eyelashes. As I pointed out before - her eyes were a bit wonky/derpy in real life too. She had a very slight lazy eye. All her pictures show it. Could you tweak the to mouth make to the original sculpt?

I've seen many thousands of pictures of MM spanning her entire life. The first sculpt was pretty good, IMO. If they can just get back to that, they'll be on to a winner.

SA have some amazing licenses now, and a lot of people are passionate about them, which is great. However, SA seem to do one amazing figure that blows people away, then 3-5 terrible ones, then an amazing one again. I was hoping this MM would be superb.

That Viktor looks great to me too, but I'm no expert on Underworld. I'll be buying him.

 

[spindrift]

It's just not Marilyn- SA better do some heavy rework an I thnk they will- looks unfinished and rushed out for the shows.

 

[tbay]

Really disappointed in how she turned out. I was hoping to get a good 1/6 Marilyn on the shelf, but this 1/4 Blitzway Statue will have to do.

Star Ace are going to become the new Sideshow.

You never know what you're going to get from each announcement...until you've got it in hand.

Too early tell.. so far these have been prototypes. the in hand harry potter figs and Steve mcqueen look pretty damn good

 

[cmiller99]

I remain hopeful it will be fixed.

 

[spindrift]

same here...

 

[HAL9000.]

Me too. . .

I definitely see Lea Thompson in the lower half.

 

[Underworld54]

They need to ditch the open mouth, it's just killing the likeness.

She just needs her proper pout back.
