Is it meant to be shinny or will they be weathered and how about the eyes.. will the hero idol be sold as a finished prop or do we have to buy/install the eyes ourself?

From reading the whole thread, it’s hard to tell if this is an “official” interest thread, but just to be safe, please put me down for a glass eye version! Thanks!
UPDATE:
I received the Idol samples from the foundry and they look amazing!!!
I'm installing the eyes in the Hero Idol and should be able to show it off in the next few days.
You can see in the pics on how beautiful the gold coloring is, and that it did not shrink that much compared to my original model.
The glass eyes you see are the ones I have picked out for the Hero Idol. Sort of a light brown hazel with detailed Iris. Very realistic up close!
The height is at 19 cm.
I also had a few minor issues with the castings, and having the foundry take note of the details I want fixed before production.
I'm still waiting on final pricing since they're adjusting on how to price it, as I adjust how much work they have to do to them.
Also, I know it's shiny, but this is how they came, and I'm nervous telling them to dull the surface, because they may dull it too much!
So, I'm going to test a couple of ways to dull it and see what looks best. Either 'Dull Coat' spray, or using a really fine sandpaper or steel wool.
So, should have something to show with much better photos and give a final price in the next few days!

Wow. Looking great, man. Can’t wait to snag one. Can never have too many of your pieces

I agree and that appears to be the way my collection is trending lol.
I should have an update on a final date within the week.
I'll also be posting finished pics of both Idols in the next day or two, along with prices!
