I saw the Dragon Ball movie on HBO the other day and he didnt look THAT old, still a good looking HS though

The head looked a little fat to me on the face. I don't know is the camera lens cost the problem or the head itself. The detail looked good.

yeesh the proportions look really off for a human head. you can see the likeness but he has the blocky head syndrome like a caricature or something. paint looks good though

The likeness is there, but the head is too wide compared to the other features, and everything seems squashed--it looks like a caricature.

looks like a character from "Team America World Police"

meh... he looks more like a parody of chow yun fat than chow himself.

Horrible, how can the sculptor or makers not see that the head is too big. It looks like a square block, either that or he got stung by bees badly.

even luka's superb photo skills don't make it look good

Agree that some likelihood is there but the face shape is off. Maybe this is Chow at his age of 70's of something. Or maybe this is after a movie character that we haven't seen yet.

Ha ha I agree. Good one.

Yeah, looks a bit chubby to me. Anyway, where did you get this from? Nobody seems to be able to tell us who is actually selling these. Did you pay the magical $25 that has been quoted?

CHEERS!

The head looks like it's based on Chow in the movie "Anna & The King", where he had those sort of sagging cheeks. But the head is still really exaggerated.

Beautiful work.

CHEERS!

The maker send me some head sculpts to take some shots...
Actually at this time they are still searching for retailers or agents.

The headsculpt would make a nice WW2 Jap or Russian.

I dunno why, but that last bunch of photos does take away some of the "fat head" puppet vibe I was getting initially. Still not too pleased with the HS, but the photos are great!

On my first attemp the lights on the cheeks are too much, so the second time I replaced my lights to simulate the natural lighting.

It bodes well for the others, which body did you use and did you use any of the neck connectors that these heads come with?

CHEERS!

For above pictures, I used HT body, and I used the neck connectors come with the box.

lukazou · #25 (**permalink**) 10-24-2010, 08:18

More!!!

I used TTL body this time.

This is a photoshop retouched picture. I modified the face shape.

Very cool, but the eyes still seems a bit rare... =)

rogerbee · #28 (**permalink**) 10-24-2010, 09:53

You might want to show them that last one. So, which is better, HT or TTL!? Mention the eBay stores I suggested as well.

CHEERS!

lukazou · #29 (**permalink**) 10-24-2010, 09:53

Another pic which has more accurate color...

Go for HT, which is better for man's suit.
