I'm enough of a Jnix fan to buy just about any sculpt he creates in who's character I'm interested. My only reservation regarding this particular sculpt was that to my eye it was just a bit too narrow a face compared to Alec.
I agree with everything you said. I do look forward to Jnix's next sculpt.
Admittedly I didn't jump on this one as I brought the Luke and it didn't quite work for me

Pm'd you.
I'm in the same boat as you QGF, there was just too many issues with the sculpt i couldn't ignore.
Such a shame the feedback from the sculpt wasnt taken into consideration by Jnix, but it's his sculpt i suppose.
It just wasn't for me.

picky picky picky . some of you guys will never be happy unless it`s the man himself on display to much OCD. just collect and enjoy 
I don't agree with you guys to be honest. I've seen that argument before and it's always by putting a really distorted perspective shot f the sculpt at a weird angle next to the same headshot of Alec Guiness.
Even that Silent surfer shot is a really bad thing to compare it to. Its got total sense distortion and is doing the fishbowl thing...
The pic I posted next to the Hot toys is a better reference to the overall shape of the head. While it's a smaller head than the HT overall it's not too small a head and looks good on the body and you will see the length is coming from the beard, which Hot toys got wrong. It looked too cropped.
My sentiments on the sculpt is the one issue he had was the mouth not being wide enough. But as I explained in length on the page behind this the rest of the issues were all in the paint job not the sculpt.
Paint makes or break a likeness which is why everyone ohs and ahs about silent surfers work.. it's because he knows how to capture a likeness. Ive seen this issue before a lot with iminime, jinx or the guys that offer hand painted but mass bulk sculpts... there is a generic way that they need to pump test out so that genericness shows up in the lack of nuance in the paint. Certain things like the eyebrows color could have been an easy fix though.
The issues with Luke were majorly in the paint. Other than his eyes being too big I'd say 90% of it was paint issues.

With all due respect, if I'm paying $90 with shipping for a plastic head, i want the man himself.picky picky picky . some of you guys will never be happy unless it`s the man himself on display to much OCD. just collect and enjoy
It's not OCD, it's not investing more money on a lookalike to swap it for another lookalike, i just don't see the point in that.

:goodpost: 100% agree with this statement. We're entitled to be EXTREMELY picky when we're paying the best part of £150 for a painted head!!!
You certainly do both have a sense of entitlement.

The customer is always right...
I think your confusing standards with entitlement, this isn't Hasbro figures were collecting here, and i mean no offense to Hasbro or its collectors.
These are expensive figures we collect, and unless a custom sculpt nails the likeness, and Jnix did exactly that with Han, i wont be buying it.
If you want to have a box of sculpts that cost you a considerable amount down the line, that has small improvements over each other, that is entirely up to you buddy, I'll just wait until someone's knocked it out the park.
So don't buy it, you don't need to go on about how you would have purchased it. You can have your standards but if the sculpt doesn't work for you, then move along at some point. Don't need to keep harping on it when it's finished and produced.

If no one spoke up, we wouldn't have an improved product. So I totally support nitpicking.
I have hated the whole "if you don't like it don't buy it"' argument for decades now. To me that's an incredibly short sighted way to look at things and as a marketer the exact opposite of what you want to believe. You have a potential market waiting to purchase your product, you do your best within reason to try and accommodate the general mass. You can't please everyone but overwhelming feedback that's negative is wasted potential income if not addressed.
But there is a limit... I spoke up pretty harshly about the photoshop manips after Jnix already stepped in to do two revisions on Luke.
