Anywho, we can get back to discussing the statue. There's nothing more to say here.

We will reeducate you to see the errors of your ways!

Kirk had best watch out before the Jolly Green Giant comes home.

In my opinion this is not the case here. The comment about Sideshow was meant as a joke, but the complaint remains.
About my first comment yesterday, I'll elaborate a bit: I'm surely not an expert in anatomy, but I find the left upper body of the statue to be somewhat unnatural:
I can't say the same about the right side, and this is not because I find it more natural, but because we received no clear photos of it, making assessment impossible.
I'll go further this time and add a third complaint, about the base: In my opinion it doesn't add much to the statue besides height, and the added height compared to most 1/4 statues limits display options in some arrangements.
I realize I'm the only one here thus far daring to express any negative opinions about this statue. I hope that no one here finds this unacceptable.

For me, the base is the weakest part of the statue so you are not in the minority. I still ordered the piece however as the Ivy figure itself is one of the best I've seen.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of extra snarky qz lately.
So I finally had time post SDCC to really go over all the Ivy pics today, which I haven't looked at since PO. I am 100% thrilled with the green version. It just fits so well with the concept/design of the piece. My first 1/4 Ivy, and I am so glad I waited. I do see a little bit of seam line where the thighs meet the pelvis? Or is that just the difference between the more solid body suit, and what appears to be more translucent thigh panels?

Don't worry about it. People are allowed to post their criticisms freely, despite some people on this forum who go out of their way to attack those they don't agree with.
