Maleficent PF

[Darklord Dave]

Though still not perfect I think the Enesco bust has a greater likeness (and more accurate color)

That bust has a better skin color, but I really don't like the face there - I know it's a oxymoron, but it is too cartoony. I'd also say the same about the regular head of the PF. However I really like the exclusive head - that's how I remember her - not maniacally laughing but as cool, calculating and imperious.

And it did remind me that Disney uses the real life features of the voice actor in the character model, especially with the villains. And I definitely see Audley in the sculpt...

I dunno. I still like it. I know it's a bit cartoony, but she was an animated cartoon. Reminds me a bit of the Elvira PF, which I have and love.
SO yeah, I still like it. Yes it's cartoony, but she looks like a cartoon come to life!
I dunno.

 

[Sithlord1975]

I don't like the regular face, when compired to the shots I just gave. I have to see the EX before I can pass judgement. Her face is slender, but the PF heads don't seem that way?

Maybe her head doesn't look as slender because it's looking up a bit and the camera angle it was shot at.
Again, I still like it.
It might not be perfect, but I think most PF's rarely get it spot on perfect anyway. A "likeness" is a likeness, and that's good enough for me.
I got the Evil Queen coming and these two Beyotches are gonna look sweet together.

Speaking of Eleanor Audley, I was always very impressed with the work she and the Disney animators did with Lady Tremaine and Maleficent.

When mattel were doing their Disney Barbie line, they put out excellent versions of The Evil Queen and Maleficent. M's portrait was impressive. There's no reason Sideshow shouldn't be able to do the same and I really hope they re-do the entire portrait.

Did a quick photoshop and looks much better now ....

Looks like she is related to another character entirely with this particular skin color.

That is the regular head.

Did they have Avatar motion capture cameras back then? Or just talent and a pencil?

Just ordered EX on flex

Now just got to hide it from the wife til her B'day in November

The overly green color is starting to bother me. I like the subdued light green as she appeared in the movie.

i'm beginning to like her deep green skin tone. it just gives this piece a more solid appearance, compared to the pale photoshopped one. she is one of those pieces that at first, won't appeal as much, but slowly, she just grows in you. then before you know it, you love her to bits! i'm totally fine with her, will be getting this for sure.

just a suggestion, i think what could help with her deep green skin tone is making her eye shadow darker. this way, her green skin would appear lighter against the dark grayish purple around her eyes.

 

[choopie]

Can't say that I like this at all. I think that the Evil Queen came out much better.

 

[kaidoy021]

She looks amazing to me. I picked up the EX. The Green doesn't bother me as much as you guys. I do wish the Exclusive was something else though.

 

[daikkenaurora]

I liked it when it was being made but there is something about the face that bothers me. Maybe its her cheeks.

 

[creature4000]

looks like the wicked witch of the west.

I know what bothers you about her face: its not her face, its somebody else's face.

No motion capture, just talent and pencil.

I think the main problem, aside from the skin color, is the eyes. They're too slanted. Forgive me for the piss poor photoshop attempt, but I think you'll see my point.

IMO, that looks much more like Maleficent (aside from being bright green.)

Wow, that color change is a huge improvement. I guess I'm in the "CHANGE THE COLOR!" camp now.

Dave, pull some strings for us.
