I made 4 recommendations to Ada: 1. Add more frizzy hair --which she did. Is it enough? LMK 2. I said the eyes are too bulging and need to be fixed- she didn't change that are 3. I asked for a bit longer hair on top to hide more of his forehead....it looks like she added some, is it enough? LMK 4. I asked to trim the beard down a little-- it does NOT appear she did so. Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

I like it a lot. Can't wait to get mine. Thanks again Wars. Was she able to confirm the RA scale?

It's looking good. I think that the size is killing our perception. She must be planning on shrinking it with one of the products or the wax method. Once again , I'm not a "Photoshop Wizard" but, maybe this will help.

IT WILL BE SIZED TO FIT RA FIGURES.
IT WILL BE MODIFIED TO FIT A RA NECK PEG.I can't be any clearer than that. (Not picking on you famousj, I get tons of PMs asking this question almost daily!!) I've said it in other posts that people must not have seen. I hope they see this. Keep the input coming. I'm pretty pleased with it as is, if we need to have her modify it more, let's let her know ASAP so we can get these heads before Thanksgiving. My figure fed needs it some Macho Madness!! ;D (Cheap plug) And if you haven't seen it yet, check it out at: www.WrestleFestOnline.comWarsman

There's no doubt about Ada's talent, but I'm finding that she's a little iffy when it comes to criticism. Hopefully she's able to make those changes without any problems.

I think it is looking real good, but I think maybe a little more puff out on the bottom of savages hair. Just my input, don't know if anyone agrees, but if everyone is good with the way it is so am I.

I still kind of feel like there needs to be more frizzy hair on the sides (like covering the ears more). I also think the hair on top needs to look a little bit thinner (or flatter). It's possible that adding hair on the side will make it seem thinner on top, but it is hard to tell. To me his hair just looks too healthy and thick and not thin dry and frizzy like his hair always was. It is definitely getting better though.

I think she really really needs to adjust the eyes. But that's really good overall!

Hey Warsman,
Given the final product is good, is there a chance the sculpter can re-release the head if there is enough interest a second time around?
I just found out about this, and would be very interested in joining in a second time around. (I just need to see the final product first).
Thanks.

I think it looks fine, any more hair on top will ruin it, he barely had any hair on top of his head and always had a massive forehead even when his hair was thicker.
I think this is the problem with the hair - Savage always had his ears covered at the start of the match and in promos etc, his hair was probably too frizzy to tuck behind the ears. The hair should frame the face not hang at the back. Look at the Hasbro ones (I think) the hair isn't "frizzy" but because it's bushed up either side of his face it has the Savage look to it. I reckon it needs a lump of hair either side over the ears but I wouldn't mind if it stays the same.
I think the eyes will be fine, she's not going to change them because that would be a nightmare, she'd probably have to start over.
She did say that she sends WIP pics but people are always happy with them, so I think giving her a list of stuff to change is going to annoy her. The hair over the ears would be easy to do but I don't think we should ask for anything changed on the face. Big eyes are good, if they were too small that would suck, I reckon this will look good.

Agree completely, if only one thing could be fixed it would have to be more frizzy hair on the sides. Do not add hair to the top if anything I think it needs less, but would be satisfied as is. Side note: Ralph's new creations kick major ass.

I don't know if I agree with you completely. I mean sure we don't have to exaggerate by telling her to do it again from scratch but she's a professionnal and she made BIG bucks on that. She probably did all the sculpt in 1 hour or less, so I think she could modify it to have the job (perfectly) done. that's my opinion.

She probably did all the sculpt in 1 hour or less, so I think she could modify it to have the job (perfectly) done. that's my opinion. I highly doubt that she could sculpt that in less than an hour. I'm no professional and maybe I'm slow but a full headsculpt takes me hours and never looks nearly as good or detailed as that. She's hardly getting big bucks either, considering she's having to make and paint a whole load of heads aswell as do the sculpt she's not really charging very much at all. I agree though that it should be done properly but I do think it looks really good already, better than many Jakks headsculpts. I was hoping it would have very open eyes, I reckon it will look great when it's painted and also not so close up. I'd hate it to be redone and have eyes that were too small. I still think the ears need to be covered and that's all, that's very easy to do and it won't effect the look of the face as it is. If someone does a crude photoshop with hair covering the ears I think everyone would agree. The more I look at it the more I like it, especially around the eyes, I really don't think they need changing or we'll never get that crazed look on his face.

She went back and fixed all 4 areas we suggested. I think it's perfect, "and I don't impress too easy" as Jesse Ventura used to say... Wow... WOW! I also let her know that others are wanting to order this head after our order was placed, and to give consideration to selling copies on eBay (for $50, LOL, j/k) because so many have PMed me wanting to order one after the window closed. So don't say I didn't try... Wars
