I highly recommend exploring the work of Nick Marra also. Another artist that creates hyper-realistic/photoreal sculptures and statues that'll blow you away.
Looks amazing but I'd assume that it will be a dust magnet. But if you can afford something like this you can probably also afford a museum glass display case for it.
was thinking the same, and if i had the money to buy one of these, id like a Christopher Reeve Superman in a custom case with some of those Kryptonian crystals illuminated from below
Good point. You could probably do some good with a DataVac elelctronics blower. As long as you took care to sweep the air and hit everything at sharp angles instead of head on. You don't want to embed anything on the surface.
Honestly for all the work and hair punching I would have thought more expensive than that. Maybe Cap will be the least expensive since he doesn't have a head of hair exposed.
Well... The materials and time put in isnt worth more than $4k. You can get full life size silicone dolls with steel skeletons and joints for the same or less and it looking as good but not that of real famous people or DC or Marvel heroes. Gamelady makes 1:1 5.5ft tall silicone dolls of female game character taken right from the games that looks as they do in the games for only $3k and they are 80lb or so. So seeing these busts priced for $4k seems a lil more than they should be when you compare them to something that gives you more for less but one is made outside of China and the other is made in China so $4k makes sense.
@@QueenStudios I have been to Madam Tussauds in London and I think they're just off in their likenesses [I always have] - these pieces at comic-con are FREAKY realistic!
Would they like them or be disturbed? Idk how I'd feel seeing a hyper realistic sculpture of myself.....kinda sounds like the premise of a Junji Ito story.
A certain industry is already pretty advanced with silicon sculptures, I'd have to wonder if the guys that do these marvel sculptures had a chat with them for tips.
Indeed, a certain industry is quite good at producing lifelike silicone sculptures, which also have complete bodies, posable skeletons, and assorted ... functionalities. Though I'm sure Marvel licensing limits the scope of allowable "innovations" in this case.
If you’re using silicone skin, you should be able to add motors into the neck, and IR sensors in the glass eyes, whereby, when someone is in the room, their heads move and follow them. That would be sick!!!
WHY are these more realistic than what you find in a wax museum? These are unsettling realistic. I know these aren't wax but maybe it's time to move away from wax. This is incredible.
They need one little upgrade to freak out the curious who get close: Moving eyes controlled by a computer with facial recognition software so the eyes can look at your face. And/or make them blink.
I have my Home theater decorated with life-size movie replica items including a couple of Queen Studios bust I thought it would be pretty creepy to own something like this But they have become some of my favorite things in my theater, they are works of art, The amount of detail and realism they put into these are amazing, Infinity Studios also does amazing work in this area
Amazing! Are these production prototypes though? Not sure if these are the same studio who did the Wonder woman bust. The prototype of that was as good as these. The final mass produced made on a factory production line ones that people actually would buy.....not so good. Main difference comes in the production line hair and paint quality. Could never match these painstakingly created one of a kind prototypes
If they look lifelike, then the uncanny valley has been bridged. It could still be unsettling because you know these are sculptures and not "real", which then affects your perception of them as art objects.
@@jdmonaco2493 no. I think it’s the lack of movement. Which, I believe, still puts it within the category of the uncanny valley, because there is still critical stimuli missing. However, I think it could also be argued that it has bridged the uncanny valley, but is still not quite lifelike. The uncanny valley is not an empirical measurement of lifelike-ness, but a theoretical measure of human reaction towards it. My feeling of unease is personal, not empirical after all.
And again, this isn’t to say anything against the creator. These are still incredibly impressive, and hold up very well. Like I said, the uncanny valley is a feeling, not empirical.
I think it's interesting that they're all male characters. These already kinda creepy now imagine some dude buying life replicas of Scarlett Johannson or Elizabeth Olsen...
I would be more weirded out by the fact that someone would buy them on the first place, regardless of one's gender or sexual preferences. It's not even a representation of a superhero but just portrayals of actors wearing a costume. It's just unsettling imo.
It seems like their poses have been strategically chosen to offset the uncanny valley. They all appear to be looking off into the middle distance and the side, even Loki looks like he’s not looking straight ahead. They’re not gonna be watching you walk across the room like they reckon the Mona Lisa does.
At first I was kind of sad that Adam wasn't the one showcasing these masterpieces, but man, you really are great at this, Norm! You make me like you even more with every new video!
@@BlackringIII I'm a collector. I have over 350+ 1/6 scale figures - Hot Toys, Sideshow etc - & statues. I know material science gets better, but even modern and "medical grade" rubbers and silicones break down. Ideally, displays need to be climate controlled. Besides, with the cost of the satues, 35 years still isn't great.
@@paradoxnerd Read my reply above. Saying something is "medical grade" is just a marketing buzz phrase. I think their artists are phenominal, but I won't be buying.
They are very realistic, but not perfect enough one can't tell a difference. If I had two pictures of each person where one was real and other the sculpture, I could immediately say if it's fake or not. Still nice work tho. Edit: Oh, and Tom's eyes are not aligned properly, unless he has them like that IRL (it has a name, I forgot).
That's beyond creepy! Bordering on stalker fetish! 1/6 life like action figure ,ok . Life like . Lifesize celebrity super hero sculpture.you got issues. LOL ,Bet there's a 5yrs waiting list for the Scarjo life size "action" figure
I see things like this and then I go over to a robotics channel and they can't stop talking about the uncanny valley. They talk about how hard it is to make a humanoid robot that isn't a horror show. Why can't these two get together and put the robotic electronics inside these hyper real busts? Or, at least let these artists design the face and body of a robot.
Well then the uncanny factor would come from the movement. A hyperreal human with the unnaturally smooth movements of modern animatronics would probably be pretty creepy
They look great but Every new marvel movie is depreciating the entire franchise. Disney has destroyed all things Marvel... same as Star Wars... its a real shame but both are un-repairable. We have 2 choices... #1) Find alternative sources for your comics. Cyber Frog is awesome imho. Or #2) Get creative and make your own.
These have to be used as a form of money laundering, right? Why would an individual actually buy these otherwise? Regardless of how well-made they are.
I’m not a collector myself but i assume for fans of marvel, its like any other collectors item. The artistry is top notch and it allows the collectors to feel like they can bring part of the story or character they love closer to them. The heart wants what the heart wants.
fck madam tussaud, this wax shit allways looked off. they should have switched to silicon years ago. much more realistic. i love those videos when ppl create busts in silicon
I am already curious when the porn industry or the Chinese will jump on the bandwagon and produce and offer lifelike sex dolls of famous actors, porn stars and so on...
I buy silicone sex dolls. same price or less and looks almost as good. Gamelady all the way. $3k for a Lara Croft from Shadow of the Tomb Raider, head to toe.
It wont last 35 years. high end silicone is rated to last 20 years on average before signs of dry rot/cracking and paint will always be the first thing to go let alone the hair which may need to be maintained, for sure if you do not put it in a glass case but i can bet most people thats buys one will not, they will place it on a open shelf, on a living room table or on their pc desk so i would say in these cases this would last 10 years or less.
Technically very impressive. Everything else creepy, weird, unnecessary. Treating Marvel heroes like gods. Chronic infantilisation. Just know that Cumberbatch thinks you're a crazy person if you buy a replica of his head in a stupid costume
It's not even a proper representation of the character they portray at this point, like stylized action figures do. It's just the actor's features wearing a costume. They would fit in some "Marvel museum" at most, but not as merch.
Diaper? Actually a good analogy. Now, go find a kid who isn’t toilet-trained, have it sit diaperless on you for a few hours, and then come back and tell us all about how “diapers” don’t protect anyone. In other words, you chose the wrong channel to air your anti-science nuttery.

I've heard of hyperrealistic but these look like real freaking people. I've never seen such incredibly well done sculptural portraits.
Thanks, Anthony.
I highly recommend exploring the work of Nick Marra also. Another artist that creates hyper-realistic/photoreal sculptures and statues that'll blow you away.
Very likely these were scans ofv the actors with the sculptors only contributing to clean up.
It's insanely impressive how real these look!

Madame Tussauds should take a course from these folks. Amazing!

I just need a hyperreal sculpture of Black Widow and Gamora.
For science.
According to their website, Cap is almost $4,000 and I’m surprised because I expected more 😅
Honestly for all the work and hair punching I would have thought more expensive than that. Maybe Cap will be the least expensive since he doesn't have a head of hair exposed.
Honestly I’m shocked it’s only $4,000. I was expecting like the 10-12,000 range
@@dabearsfan9 considering the likeness, size, and apparent quality I wouldn’t have blinked at $10k
In my head I was thinking probably 10k. Good for them for not trying to bleed the customers dry

Astounding that these didn't start as 3D scans of the actors. The likenesses are uncanny. Kudos to the very talented artists involved.
Thanks!
We can clearly say that these busts have passed past the uncanny valley
Oh man this is unbelievable work, how can you go to a wax museum after seeing this type of stuff.
😆
@@QueenStudios I have been to Madam Tussauds in London and I think they're just off in their likenesses [I always have] - these pieces at comic-con are FREAKY realistic!

Shoves my hand in Tom Holland’s face to find the frog
I keep expecting the Loki one to blink. If you were going to have someone pretend to be one of the statues, that would be the one to do it with. 😂
The Tom Holland one has that puzzled look i always see him do
You could not keep one of those in your house without a light on it permanently, imagine glancing at it at night in near darkness!
Uncanny Valley was traversed and conquered here 👏🏼
Well that's terrifying
I keep expecting them to move they look so real.
I'd need a Wanda / Scarlet Witch version for ehh.. research purposes!
Those things are very realistic, but they enter the uncanny valley for me, that would creep me out face to face.
If I become a millionaire I'd like a bust like this of myself (not in an ego way) but to freak out my family.
that Benedict trips me out.
If you’re using silicone skin, you should be able to add motors into the neck, and IR sensors in the glass eyes, whereby, when someone is in the room, their heads move and follow them.

Man they look spookely lifelike
Thanks, Icy.
The captain American, and Dr strange are spot on, the Tom Holland is slightly off , I believe it’s the hair style , that’s throwing it off .
"You have to go with silicon" Or Wax, which is what Madame Tussauds has done for decades. :)
Wax looks like shit up close, heard of waxen skin? that's what that is, flat, shiny, unnatural, also easy to damage.

Once they have a robot subframes under these skins it's going to be game changer.
It's gonna be so difficult to make the movement look hyperreal just because there are so many facial muscles.
@@patu8010 I agree but surely just a matter of time.
@@patu8010 Disney's latest Lincoln bot has extensive facial control.
Just do minimal or even no facial movements to begin with then. Just some simple eye movement maybe. The skin would be so good it wouldn't matter.
