I think the sculpt needs more work, but overall, not bad. Better than the Play Toy release a few years back. I'm just glad to see stuff other than Disney licences getting released in 1/6.

When this was first announced, (Star Ace getting the license) wasn't K.A. Kim still working there? I think that's where the hope for this figure came from. Now that she's gone, Star Ace has plummeted. There is some recognition in the straight ahead shots, but other than that, it's meh. SA lost a great talent with Kim. Her 1st year Hermione is fantastic. Without her, SA is just, there. I'll by the sword when it gets parted out. I do like that they got the shoe tread right.

That thing looked like a man in an Uma wig. It was hideous.
If Star Ace wants Hot Toys level of pricing, then they are better hiring K.A Kim to do all of their head sculpts. Only then I’ll see myself buying The Bride, O-ren, and whatever they come out.

I'm inclined to agree, in the sense that the tracksuit is actually nicely tailored. It's more of a slimish fit as opposed to the custom figure's outfit that I know of. With a decent group commisioned head sculpt by a talented sculptor this could look pretty good. The Jules and Vincent figures were a missed opportunity however, and sadly I feel this will be too.

I always prefer sculpted hair too. I think real hair strangely works on only some figures like the Joker.
The sculpt is better than the Play Toys version. I have that, but would definitely grab this head to upgrade it.
I hope they do Gogo. I made a custom a few years back, but I never found a decent head sculpt.

That is a nice Gogo! Did you commission the outfit or was it sourced from specific vendors? I picked up one of Snyder-man's Gogo sculpts, need to get an outfit for it.

Vincent was just ridiculously off. The Jules suffered from them having to follow a few Hot Toys sculpts. I would have bought them if they had looked better. This Bride is head and shoulders above the pulp fiction attempts though.

Well it's been a while, but as I recall I bought two different loose outfits that were available at the time in order to get the jacket & skirt to match as close to Gogo's as possible. Skirt isn't quite right but the closest I could find.
I rolled the dice and preordered. Worst case scenario of the portrait is bad..l maybe I can track down the custom head at some point.
Thanks for the info. I am not as picky as some and not willing to pay hundreds for some popular custom head or clothing that is only marginally better than much more affordable alternatives. If only someone would do Elle, Vernita, and Bill.

If Star Ace continues their downward spiral of horrible finished sculpts, this will probably turn out like this:
Apparently retailers in Asia have received their stock of this... haven’t seen any pics yet anywhere.
