Are you happy with Firelord sculpt??

As so many members already was spoken about the Firelord bust looks to old , skinny,super eye brows...etc
This is the question.
Will you be happy (means buying..) with the actual sculpt ??
It's this acclamed character finally well represented?

He seems kinda lanky to my for a Herald

My suggestions (for what they're worth) this is a REALLY quick job with a crappy program I have here at work ... and I forgot to fix the elbows.

I like the changes to the eyebrows... that's my biggest gripe I can live with everything else...

Way to lean. Needs some steroids. Beefen up.

The image on the right looks much better. There's no reason for him to have so many wrinkles on his face. Nice job even with a not-so-good program at work. If the sculpt looked like the image on the right, I'd be MUCH happier with it and wouldn't even think twice about buying it.

Already these small changes improve the piece tremedously.
It has been stated by the sculptor that this piece looks much better in person. So I will personaly wait (for more pics, with staff) before I place any judgement.
However, looking at the pictures,..I must say I am not happy.
It is important to reiterate that this isn't about sculpting ability of proffesor oreo but rather about capturing the character.
Professor, you clearly are a very talented sculptor (I wouldn't say so if I didn't mean it), so please take these responses from everyone for what they are. It's all about getting the character right with us BD fans.

jesse if you could thicken up and shorten up the arms a bit more that would be awesome. It always surprises me that every once and a while randy will let a piece (with obvious issues) just slip by. I mean, usually he is so on top of the kinds of tweaks Jesse made it's not even funny. This should have been a no brainer for anyone looking at it ( I said so when the firs WIP pics showed up), yet it slips by the master. weird.

Just wish he was FULLSIZED

Really the changes did by Jesse give him some youth and health , but i think it can be soo much better.It's a very loved character, not a poor seller guy...so it should be PERFECT

I've already voiced my opinion on this on the other thread - and no, I'm not happy with it - apart from the age thing going on I've also noticed that the white flame belt at the bottom is FAR to wide...

Sorry to rant, and no offence meant to the sculptor - just important points that need pointing out.
