Statue Blitzway- 1/4 'Superb Scale' Marilyn Monroe full spec

[sabin23]

What are the eyelashes made of and how are they applied?

They look so realistic (but fragile) on the prototype - I just hope that the eyelashes don't accidently flake or break off over time.

I emailed BBTS after this whole thing happened with Blitzway being sold out to make sure, and they assured me that yes, they have a certain allotment, and that they have not sold them all yet. It does indeed seem like BBTS might be the last place to get one of these, that I can find anyway.

Oh, also, BBTS responded to my email in like 5 minutes.

BBTS are good people. Never once have I had a problem with them. If you're ordering from the US it's worth it just for the personal service they seem to give everybody.

Good to hear! Guess that means I should be safe...hopefully I don't get hit with customs fees on the shipping as well, as that boost it way up there from $360 to over $450 >.<

I concur, BBTS has really good customer service - they usually reply within the same day and they have a good return policy (if a product arrives damaged whether by manufacturer defect or by shipment).

BBTS's prices are generally competitive but sometimes it pays to shop around, particularly for some import items. I noticed BBTS has some markups on some Street Fighter and Frozen items I was looking to preorder. Then again, sometime those savings to import yourself (from Japan) are wiped out by shipping fees.

But like Giamontan stated - if you're in the US, BBTS might be the way to go as a one-stop place to shop.

From what it seems in this video, the eyelashes are painted on

[dajuice]

[Patriot666]

Yeah, she is only about 16" tall.

 

[dominishin]

including base??

That's pretty damn small for 1/4.

 

[epitaph04]

Well how tall was monroe anyway? According to google she was only 5'5.

 

[Transient]

Yeah, my mistake, that is her height without the base. With the base the whole statue is 17.75" tall.

5'5 = 65" / 4 = 16.25" in quarter scale for Marilyn herself.

 

[Salvation/Damnation]

I just had to ask, other than high heels, is she wear anything underneath that dress? A couple pages back I did post a prototype photo of her nude.

looks like it's done in a similar way to the bruce lee GOD statue,(vinyl head/part torso)inserted into the polystone.

 

[Patriot666]

So she's anatomically correct. Nice!

Welcome to July, guys.

Thanks for the info. Perhaps it's done this way as the material reproduces better detail and paint?

 

[epitaph04]

Yes. Look at hot toys and enterbay sculpts.
