I really want to like the 1/4 statue. The sculpt doesn’t look too bad but the eyes are horrible. I don’t know if it’s the way they’re painted or what but he looks cross-eyed.
 
Got the invoice from Kghobby. Really hoping he turns out good like the proto, after hearing all the opinions on starace.

So i was expecting the worst, his headsculpt turned out average-good IMO can't really say for certain yet. The face photographs really bad up close, he definitley looks better in person. Everything apart from the headsculpt is great. I love the outfit, steps and Butkus. I'm glad I got him as I'm a huge Rocky fan and he definitley stands out with the diorama steps and everything, and even looks great from a small distance. But for this price the headsculpt should be great.

He looks terific, now you just need to buy the poor lug a 1:6 1979 Firebird trans am :wink1:
 
Sculpt definitely is not great. What happened to his eyes/eyebrows? He also just kind of has a generally derpy look.
He kinda looks like Stallone if he had the plastic surgery when he was young
 
I don't mean to **** on someone's purchase, but I would return that for the price you paid. Star Ace needs to seriously shut down for this kind of blatant shoddy work.

I literally just received my order & can safely say, it's THE WORST figure I have ever bought, period. Looks like he's done 1347 rounds with Drago. Straight back in the box.

Sculpt is soft, paint application is poor & basic, tailoring is okay I guess but the body used is much too muscular. It's what I'd expect out of a £50-60 toy, not a 'collectible'.

Star Ace needs to get in the bin.

Body looks fine to me. It's the headsculpt that's the problem.

It's really not, it's much too muscular for Rocky II where Stallone's frame was still quite slim. It's from Rocky IV that ne really bulked up & got shredded. Body aside though, I'm sure a talented painter would work wonders with the sculpt, but at this price point it's a joke.

We order these items based on prototype photos & if it was anywhere close to that, I would be happy, but it's chalk & cheese.

Looks fine to me. If you're talking about abs, bear in mind he's meant to be posed with his shirt on as he's street Rocky. Although I agree about the headsculpt, I don't think it's horrible but for this price it should be at least near Hot Toys quality.

The sculpt and paint reminds me a bit of those early Sly figures from HT but not quite as good. Considering those figs came out the best part of 15 years ago, this is a bit of a train wreck in all honesty.
