Personally I don't want to see the sculpt changed its perfect in many ways harry was not the same character as Blondie he had more wit and charm it's another side if clint Eastwood which I think denny and co captured perfectly here. I think we have a winner on our hands and I feel lucky

Bottom line is people vote with their wallets , all this speculation is irrelevant till pre orders are available. It's easy to critique when you don't have to flop down 500.00. I think it looks great but only time will tell .

Is this the same sculpt or has some changes been made?

I can 100% verify that's the same sculpt.

Re: **HUGE UPDATE**[Masterworks]-Inspector .44 **PAINTED PICS ADDED**

honestly, i am a big clint eastwood fan. However, i personally, will shell less and less money on customs that typically are just sculpts in regular suits. I know and i know... if i could, i would and i think most people will buy this as a breeze, (and why not) but i think am gonna stick to a combination of character and accompanying costume complexity / uniqueness going forward, as i am bleeding spending on customs so have to be selective. Basically men in simple suites wont be high up there. But like always I***** / MW has nailed it when it comes to "likeness"

This sculpt also has a lot more pressure as the Blondie was pretty much a perfect sculpt. Anything less, just won't compare. If this had come before Blondie it might be a different story

I understand this. Comparing it to the Blondie sculpt (before we saw pics) had me pretty excited. So along with being impressed with the quality, I was a tad disappointed that I didn't think it was Blondie level. I kinda wanted to have the Blondie sculpt tweaked, & call it a day. But then I see this:

& think, huh? It looks so good there. Unpainted & painted are getting different reactions from me.

Ok the unpainted version is pretty great with a better paintjob (Jake/Nathan) it would be awesome. The iminime paint is just so bland that it kills the likeness and hides all the details

Re: **HUGE UPDATE**[Masterworks]-Inspector .44 **PAINTED PICS ADDED**

Yeah I saw the Nathan vs iMiniMe paint app on the Sherlock figure. Quite the difference in how much likeness I saw in each of the sculpts. That's why I really want Nathan to paint my (or at least somebodies saw I can see what it would look like) Bride sculpt. But he seems busy.

I think iMiniMe is no slouch in the paint app department, as I can see in their work, but maybe some sculpts need a tiny bit more help than others.

Re: **HUGE UPDATE**[Masterworks]-Inspector .44 **PAINTED PICS ADDED**

I can't speak for in-hand, but, as far as the IM vs. SS thing goes, I think both had their own qualities, when it comes to Sherlock. Maybe it's the difference in lighting or whathaveyou, but I actually thought, at least from some of the pics I saw, that IM's was the more realistic and lifelike of the two. They were under different lighting and with different conditions in the pics I saw, so, again, I can't speak for how it actually was, but, with that in mind, I definitely thought the SS paintwork really brought out the likeness, so, it was a trade-off, in a way. Realism vs. Likeness.

With that being said, that's not this, and I hope those pics have helped allieviate some of the doubt regarding the sculpt, as it is a truly amazing piece. As I said, Denny is trying to stage more pics in better conditions, as we speak, so, hopefully, they should reflect the actual sculpt as well as the unpainted did, but, at any rate, I think this shows that lens distortion and lighting have a very real impact on how something looks.

Dirty Harry is gritty and street smart that need to show. Beat cop with farmers sunburn/ tan and stress behind his sleepless eyes.

I also can't speak for 'in hand', but this pic pretty much made up my mind for me. I don't really see a 'Realism vs Likeness' here. Nathan's version wins both likeness & realism I feel. I guess you can argue about angles & such, but I feel the comparison is shown fairly enough.

This talk is simply to point out that maybe an alternate style paint job by MW might do wonders for the sculpt.

I appreciate the updates though Batfan.

Deal with it

I dont expect Denny's team to be able to paint each sculpt at such a high level as Nathan's Sherlock( which I did see in hand as he painted it at FAMcon) but maybe just adding a little red to the skintone will do wonders for Harry.

I think the Iminime Sherlock has a better likeness to be honest.

Re: **HUGE UPDATE**[Masterworks]-Inspector .44 **PAINTED PICS ADDED**

I think the Iminime Sherlock has a better likeness to be honest.

Because the skin is albino pale and the eyes are the wrong color? Come on Sam!

Harry needs to be a bit tanned for sure

Re: **HUGE UPDATE**[Masterworks]-Inspector .44 **PAINTED PICS ADDED**

Well, Cumberbatch Sherlock was pale as **** :lol

 

[Lawrence]

Re: **HUGE UPDATE**[Masterworks]-Inspector .44 **PAINTED PICS ADDED**

Batfan - SS better likeness / MW more realistic
Karamazov - MW better likeness
Me - SS better likeness / SS more realistic

Can't please everyone :lol

Re: **HUGE UPDATE**[Masterworks]-Inspector .44 **PAINTED PICS ADDED**

To me realism makes the likeness? Those words are pretty interchangeable

Re: **HUGE UPDATE**[Masterworks]-Inspector .44 **PAINTED PICS ADDED**

Well I guess you can make the distinction with something like SSC's Han Solo, which has a better likeness than the HT one, but looks less realistic, i.e., not like a real human being.
