[Trivial Psychic]

@Boy Blunder. Thanks for reading that wall of text of mine...lol. If Mantis had come with an accessory, she would have been my favorite figure in the wave. She's just barely edged out by the other two ladies, although Adam...or should I say Magus, is making a play for my fave of the wave...

Here's a couple of close up shots so you can see how the faces do get somewhat distorted a bit up close. Now, these were shot with a Note 5 that has been dropped by my two year old, so bear in mind there is some limits to how close I can get with it, but it should give you a better idea of what we're looking at.



You can see in the first shot how Gamora's features become a bit more fuzzy around the the eyes and lips. This might be because they use golden or silver metallics on top of the green plastic, but they have a bit of shimmer and throw it off up close. It also appears that some of the details on her forehead and left side of her face were printed just slightly off their mark, throwing it off a little bit.



Nebula escapes this trap by having contrasting colors, plus the lack of pupils on the character helps hide the fuzziness a bit...though there is some, more along the side of the head where the techo-bits start.



Mantis on the other hand, is has very little in terms of paint apps, just some simple black (which I had to touch up a bit around the eyebrows) some thinner, brown eyebrows, and some peach on the lips, making me believe that there was nothing in the way of dot-matrixing being done here. The less is more approach works though, giving her that doll like appearance she had in the movie.

And finally a group shot of the lovely ladies of the galaxy...



One other minor gripe about Gamora that I realized setting this simple shot up...she cannot lay her right arm (facing you) down towards her side the way she can her left, leaving it jutting outwards at an angle. I thought it was the coat itself that was doing this, but I honestly think that it's the mold, as the coat has no effect on the for-mentioned left arm whatsoever.
