Batman Life Size Bust Sideshow

Have you ever seen a lifesize bust with acrylic eyes? My guess is no, otherwise you would be disappointed along with the rest of us. Having said that, I will still get the Joker bust if he's not cross-eyed.

I have, and sometimes you're right, they look fantastic...and other times they look like someone stuck doll eyes in a statue. Just depends on how they're done and the quality of detail in the acrylic eyes.

Okay, let's address that.
Ultimately, it comes down to the medium. If we're talking about skimping on acrylic eyes with a bust made of custom-pigmented silicon and hand-punched hair, I'd say go nuts.
But we're talking about polystone here. No matter how expertly painted, these busts always have an 'artificial' quality to them you can't escape.
Acrylic eyes on a polystone bust is like putting rims on a Yugo. I mean, sure, they're pretty and all, BUT....

Sub-Zero might disagree...
If Pop Culture Shock can include them, what's Sideshow's excuse for Batman, Joker, etc?
Especially Joker.. I mean they're on the damn prototype!
I do understand your point, considering the skin, fabric, and hair.. but those eyes still look awesome, so why not include them?

My only worry about this Joker Bust is the eyes. I've never owned a 1/1 Bust so I don't know what to expect now 
Love these 2 pictures on a positive note

doing it...for all of us
I think many of us hope for the best but are cautious given past history. It's sad that this dampens the excitement surrounding a release such as this, but that's on Sideshow.
I am semi-optimistic considering Sideshow is taking good care of most of their DC releases this far.

Talked to Andy B. and he said they were wooden placeholders that were painted, which he said are really nice alternative to painted polystone but they were not acrylic. Figure he should know considering he sculpted the proto and all.
LOL, that was a good one!
In the end, I just don't want him to be cross eyed. It is a fantastic bust no doubt. Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us.

And the last 1.5 pages are exactly why the Joker Bust thread is still locked.

A select group of guys kept going on and on about how dishonest SSC is and they were told to give it up, they didn't, thread locked till the statue releases, and there is no point to opening it again till pics roll out. Otherwise the same old sniping will just start up again.

Well that works too, as long as they're separate from the bust.
Like the Catwoman LSF.. I have no idea if they're wood or acrylic, but they look incredible!
Plain painted eyes can not compare.

Bummer I'm excited for this
I'm curious about the Joker eyes now but sounds promising from what Cartman posted
