The near view looks ok but the other angle in that picture isn't looking so good, guess it'll be ok if you display it right but it's not speaking to me currently.
I think most companies are a bit hit & miss when it comes to human likenesses, shame really but there are a few decent efforts thankfully..., I get more frustrated when a company makes a good likeness & then fails to do so next time. Thinking about getting the Qui Gon Jinn in this statue line but not sure the likeness is there really, not much in the way of Qui Gon collectibles so it'd be nice to have more, hoping some in hand pics will turn up when it's released in September.![]()
For 1/10 the face sculpts are quite ok. There are larger statues or figures with much worse sculpts than these
Well, to be honest with you, I think this statue offers a fairly decent resemblance. Sometimes likeness issues could be credited to the angle a picture gets taken, but here I'm seeing Liam Neesson from all angles. Considering , like you mentioned, there isn't much out there (statue-wise) made for Qui-Gon, and all GG produced was the "blessing the congregation" mini bust of the character, this small statue could be a good addition to one's collection.
It happens, Kev. Sleep can take control over one's mind. It usually happens to me, but after a few beers
Seriously, when you get Qui-Gon please post some pictures. Will this one also go in one of your Detolfs?
You can get Leia & Yoda currently, Leia is pretty cheap but Yoda seems to be going for the same money as the emperor..., must be a popularity thing as he's a lot smaller. Oh & BB-8 is available at thebigbadtoystore but at a premium, it's an exclusive from last years ComicCon I'm told, kept pretty quiet then if that's the case. lol
It's certainly a possibility as I was looking at a Spider-Man diorama they've made today, it's 1:4 scale & rather expensive but it's definitely something they do at least..., not sure if it requires specific licenses but from the looks of things Disney isn't limiting 1 type of license to 1 company like LucasFilm did, Kotobukiya, Attakus & Iron Studios are all producing 1:10 scale items (for instance).
I've just finished writing to a Brazilian online store that sells the Yoda statue for roughly 83.33 US dollar, and see if they ship directly to Florida and for how much. If they do, and the prices for shipping aren't too much, I'll be ordering from them. I'll let you know.

Hey Kev, did you buy on eBay or direct from a Brazilian retailer? Qui-Gin is tempting, but I am also thinking of getting some of the R1 pieces when they're released.
I bought off of eBay as they had good feedback & you have the added security that eBay gives, I'm pretty sure you'd be ok buying from a Brazilian listing..
I bought my Emperor on eBay & didn't have any issues.
currently the only Rouge One piece I've seen listed is pretty expensive, I'm sure others will list it soon though, I'm just sticking to original trilogy/pretrilogy myself now.![]()
The Han Solo in stormtrooper disguise is really spot on.
The only R1 piece that's available is the K2-SO one, and I found out it's an exclusive, so I doubt that one will be available too much cheaper. I find it odd that they are making some of these "important" characters as exclusives, BB-8, K2-SO, and even Chewbacca with 3-PO on his back.
I'm trying to stick to OT as well, but the fact that these pieces are small makes it very tempting for TFA and R1.The Han in trooper disguise is very nice as is the Luke X-Wing Pilot, saw youtube reviews on them and was impressed. So far the only one I would really want is the Emperor. I found one on eBay for about $195 shipped from Brazil, and I'm very tempted to pull the trigger. I just got the Attakus one though, and now I'd have to sell it. Decisions, decisions. lol
No, there's no numbering on them so they aren't a limited edition.
