Can see some resemblances to the bone structure, but still look like 2 completely different images. I know the life-size didn’t look like Jaina’s current in-game model, but thats okay because she’s changed considerably over the years in-game. But the life-size statue looks amazing/gorgeous, and the shop statue just doesn’t begin to compare.
Jaina’s eye should be Sea Blue…not black.
Jaina does NOT wear eye shadow in game. (she has thick eye lashes)
Jaina has WHITE hair with some blonde. NOT dirty gray and dirty blonde
Jaina’s eyebrows are white in game. NOT dirty gray.
All these could have been fixed by a friend I know who is a painter, and does touchups for Bowen’s Marvel statues that are damaged. But the facial structure - give her short black hair, and black eyebrows, and you’re looking at Bruce Lee…Not the Daughter of the Sea.
Final point. The pose is weak having her two feet together. If she had one foot forward and on a slight higher level, it would give the appearance she was moving forward into battle or about to confront something. her current pose … she looks like she’s surfing, dude.
Actually, the "… for the articles " meme is ancient, since no young’ins know what a magazine actually is. It was an awkward, twitchy excuse given when someone, usually a parent, found a dog eared copy of Playboy magazine in a teenage boy’s room.
Standup comedians morphed the meme into something along the lines of “I went to the strip club… for the articles” etc.
Jaina looks like when an Instagram model puts filters on her face. Her eyes are too narrow and her face is too sharp and it’s like she’s wearing too much makeup.
Personally I don’t think it’s a deal-breaker though and I kind of want one anyway.
