    8 inch SMDM Steve Austin Head sculpt Prototype

    I hope this would be improved. An absolute bummer to me:



    Lee Majors or Harrison Ford?

    I bet it will look 100% better when it's painted.

      The sculpt is a little off and I can't figure out what it is, maybe the nose? It looks quite a bit like Harrison Ford from Raiders if looking straight on. However, it's just a slight difference, and I do like this and I'd LOVE a chance to paint this up my way. I'm still stoked big time for these figures, so my enthusiasm is not diminished in the least.

      If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

        A little RAIDERS, isn't it? I don't mind. I think it looks cool.

              I think it looks great, great likeness to Lee Majors!

                I think the green color is making the sculpt look like an older version of Steve

                    I think it's a good likeness of Majors, but more 'Big Valley' than SMDM. Paint will make a big difference, though.

                      Definitely a bit rough at this point, if only because I've seen some amazing sculpts of the SMDM before unpainted that don't have these issues. But I'm sure it'll be tightened up and look better painted. I'm still excited for this line. It's always tough to judge stuff at this stage.

                          Looks good to me. I'm sure it'll look even better painted!

                            I think the only improvement could be shrinking the nose a bit. --- the nostral area.

                            The reason this sculpt mostly dont look right because looking at the hair it was based on Steve in SMDM season-1 --- before his hair got shaggier in the later seasons

                            It also don't have the classic "Spock eye" expression --- which Steve usually has.
