Primarily, I think the character's pupils were misunderstood. I also think that Max's face doesn't have the correct proportions, and that his eyes should be going inwards, should be thinner/smaller and his nose should be much smaller. And the brim on Sam's hat could be a little more shaped or else it'll look Amish, like it does right now. Other than that, its mostly perfect.
I want one so bad... but this is going to be bruttaly expensive for me. Stupid custom charges from hell!
I promised myself I would never order anything outside of Europe, but there's no way I can pass this up. It's a Sam&Max statue for crying out loud. And it's awesome!
that's so cool... whhat's the size? I just skimmed the thread and I didn't notice a height on it... If it's reasonable price (and again I skimmed, so if there's a price I missed it) I might splurge on one...
The guns I see now, but the hat I'm a bit skeptical about, as the angle of the photograph is different between the first and second photos given how much of the badge/base we see given the perspectives.
A question that may not have an answer yet (and may possibly be dumb): Will the statue be painted? I would think it would be, but I don't want to assume*.
Yeah, it'll be painted. This is just an early model.
Also, what the hell happened to Sam's eyes? Maybe they're just hidden by the shadow of the hat, but... seriously, that's kind of creepy.

the details on the hat are less sharp nameley at the back and it looks like the indent in the hat is no more
UPDATE
Symbiote Studios Announced on their site: "The Sam and Max statue sculpt has been fully approved and is getting it’s paint application right now. We expect the statue to release in September or October. We will have the statue up for pre-order later this month."
That looks pretty cool! I love the sort of matte sheen on the guns.
I never picture Sam's suit being blue, but instead being grey and picking up the light in a blue way. Apparently, everyone else in the world seems to see that differently, though.
any clue what the updates are for this awesome thing.. seems the site does random news posts. Some interesting ones but.. not much about their works unless its new news :P
Id hate to wake up one day to a sold out statue(even though I check their site daily now)
Yeah the blog is annoying. It's called "Symbiote News" but it's mostly filled with random posts that no one comments on everyday. Unless you check it frequently you'll probably miss the real news since it gets pushed down the page.
I shouldn't bash it too much. After all, I found out about the movie Tekkonkinkreet from one of the posts. If they wanna do blogs on a variety of topics it's fine, but they should seperate the two.
the shadings on this statue look way to airbrushy for sam & max, meaning they're somewhat to soft. also, max looks to cute...that's not good. apart from that, the statue looks awesome.

I think it looks a tad brighter in the image, hence the note about the ear color.
They should make a Max action figure that shoots real bullets and a Sam action figure that eats real food! Then the world would be at peace. Exept for violence and world hunger. Peace is overrated anyways
Good thing I already don't have the deskspace to get one of these. Not like I had the money to begin with...
deskspace?...pff...i ran out of "deskspace" like three years ago. now i have collectibles all over the place...also, i ran out of money when i was twelve...and that never was a hindrance to me..sadly.
...i am not sure if i will order the statue. it's pretty neat, but somehow i don't feel the urge to buy it. maybe i gots the flu or something...
In case you guys missed it, there was an update on the statue a couple of days ago as follows:
"Changes:
1. Added stripe in tie knot.
2. Metallic guns have been made more black and less metallic.
3. Changed grip color slightly.
4. Suit and hat are now same color.
5. Suit and hat are now more grey
6. Rats more grey brown with flesh colored extremities.
7. Tomatoes in hot dog are now red.
8. Base is now black.
9. Minor tweaking to Max’s eyes and nose.
10. Secret sauce added into polyresin mix. (Goes great on french fries!) "

I hope they make enough of these.

Not like that would keep me from wanting this statue thingy, of course.

I hope I have some spare $$$ by then

Beautiful work you got there.

Oh, here's the thread. I ended up posting this over here.
I just hope it won't be too expensive. And that there will enough for everyone :P
It'll be just under $100 and they are only making 1,000

They also seem to have a little surprise ready. You can check it out here:http://blogs.ign.com/symbiote_studios/2008/09/14/101461/
I couldn't get the official site to load up for some reason.
Max looks a little stark; it could be intentional though...
