The eyes look kinda crossed on that sculpt too.

It's already a problem when they have to airbrush the joints in the promo pics. Likeness is off too.

Of the pics I've seen only one looked to be retouched, the joints were visible in all others.

I'm surprised how well HT Leonidas still holds up, for a figure which is 6 years old it still looks epic, figure was ahead of its time.

Not 1 but a few pics there is some amount of photoshop done on joints - while you can see the joints in many of the pics, you can clearly see they toned them down a bit to make them look more seamless. They din completely remove them and still have the joints show a bit so it does not look like a complete photoshop. (Barring that one pic - cause am sure the joint looked horrible in that pose)

$239.99 is more expensive than a lot of Hot Toys, and I've never bought a Star Ace figure before. Are their pieces usually worth the hefty price tag?

I know Gorgo is coming and Themistocles's head sculpt was sneaked at SDCC, but has there been any confirmation on Artemisia?

This man is asking the right questions in life.

No confirmation thus far from anything we've seen at conventions.

It will truly be a tragic shame if both planned Eva Green figures never see the light of day. Come on Star Ace, come on Big Chief.

artemesia i will buy in a blink. no questions asked.

Agreed. And I'll pick up a Gorgo too, but even if I didn't want a Gorgo I would want the Lena Headey sculpt for a Cersei kitbash at least.

if its anything like their steve mcqueen fig, it will be worth it.

Star Ace can be a bit inconsistent but on a good day they are very, very good.

And on a bad day it all goes a bit Marilyn.

 

[cmiller99]

Yeeeeeeah.

Well, it could use some more work I guess.
Reminds me a bit of Emily Blunt.

I trust she's smirking, yes? It's hard to tell 100% without paint apps whether it's intentional or uneven. I can't put my finger on what isn't working for me...but they have a lot of the individual parts right.
