This is a simply gorgeous figure. All the accessories and clothes, the paint work/sculpture-- everything looks absolutely stunning. This is some serious talent. After reading the entire thread, I'm a bit surprised at some of the complaints. That's nitpicking at a level I personally don't see often. I make figures of all scales, mostly 1/6 and 1/3-- I also buy figures that I like. When I buy one, it's based mostly on the artistic achievement and sometimes, the artistic interpretation-- again, that's just me. I see many others who are far more concerned with the insane level of accuracy.
Regarding that, as a filmmaker as well-- I completely understand the filter concept. I don't know Quentin, nor the DP of Jango, however-- what I can tell you, is there's a very popular filter, often used in period films such as this, called CTO (control temperature orange) it provides a yellowish/orange tint (for lack of a better word) to the subject, to present an "aged" or "vintage" type of look. I can't say for sure that's the case here, but there's no question this film is a bit heavy on the color correction, and that would present a bit of a challenge in matching certain clothing colors. Either way, I believe this is a beautiful piece of work.
Very inspiring to me personally. Pieces like this make me want to be a better artist and make more accurate figures. Thanks so much--
