I have enough JND now to know from in-hand experience across Arthur Fleck, Joker, Batman, WW84, JLWW and The Batman that they mostly do 'JND Idealized', they don't just copy a portrait from a picture, they sort of merge different portraits to create their own - which I understand on an artistic level. This means none of their portraits are close to 100%, although I'd argue they're mostly in the 90% or so. But their brilliance is more in the hyper-realism. Once you accept that there's some artistic license at play, for me at least, the hyper-realism and, prototype quality, attention to detail at manufacture level, is what carries these.
For anyone thinking of this piece, ask yourself first how much it bothers if some things are slightly off, ie not 100%, because the overall presence of these statues, particularly this one looking absolutely phenomenal it's it capturing the iconography of the character, will probably be enough for you to accept it and then appreciate the overall statue as a sum of all its parts.
If you think it's too far astray, I'd still say give the single a shot if this is a character you love. That pose is striking, the overall statue looks dynamically impressive. At the price also it's probably the best in a long time it has been to take a gamble. For me it's always worth it.
Although I still think they should have given another portrait, there's not enough silicone usage alone, but I suppose the cat is supposed to make up for that.
Hope everyone who wants one is able to!
I should hopefully get a shipping noticed within the next week since they said they should be done shipping all their direct orders by end of next week.
