We know its the 70's version from the sneak peaks but please do the boots not the slippers like this picture

[xforce]

This could be a really amazing statue even with the 1970 costume.

Last one but these images does show that this costume could work and make an amazing statue. As far as I can remember no one has done a good 1970 version in 1/6th

[jeremydmc]

I agree this needs its own thread. Cannot wait to see more pics!!!!

If she looked like that I would be tempted but that's just fan art and not official DC Art from the comics so odds are it won't :(

[KaraFan]

Did they say it was going to be the older costume and not modern?

I think it will be a costume similar to this Alex Ross Justice figure design.

I hope she turns out cute as well......

"even with"?
After all these years, that's still the costume design that resonates with me the most. I've always loved that look.

And I would love to see them keep the 'slipper' too.
Go full on early 70's. Save the boots for the modern stuff.

jmo, as an old school fan of the character.

[Primus]

I'm hoping that we can get a feel for the direction of the superpowers line after Sdcc. I'd like to know what era they will be basing it on, or are they going to bounce around from golden age, silver and bronze.

:goodpost: I similarly would love to see the Silver Age 'slipper' look for a Wonder Woman piece as well. I agree with Primus that I'd love to see what direction/era the line has overall so I can plan for it, as much as I'm enjoying these surprises character choices.

[marvelboi77]

Very exciting.

[Iko Iko]

The right ear looks a little odd but it could be due to the hair not being attached all the way.

[jpuli28]

What scale is a maquette? I didn't think TH made 1/4 but Ironman is also called a maquette at 1/4...?

[Iko Iko]

Since it is Tweeterhead, I think it is 1/6 scale.

[Shoo]

"Maquette" just means "scale model", it doesn't imply any particular scale. :)

Since it is Tweeterhead, I think it is 1/6 scale.

Yep!

Nice statue, by the way.

[SDguy]

The smile looks great!

[Agent23]

Looks good. I really like the potential of this line. Hope it does well enough they keep it going for awhile.

[pdenham]

Some faces , because of their bone structure and musculature, can pull off a wide toothy smile with open eyes.

In general though, people that try to keep their eyes open as they flash a huge smile for a picture, usually look psychotic.

A spontaneous, or heartfelt smile usually causes the cheeks to push up, and the eyes to appear to squint.
Something to remember when you want to fake a 'sincere' smile.

While it's nice to see the big smile, I don't think the execution comes off all that well because of ^.

It's a close call, but the smile is a little more Joker-esque here than I'd like.
Which is a shame for me, as that's by far my favorite Supergirl costume, and one statue I had always hoped to see.
It does look like they'll be going with the boots here (if the back of the calf indentation is an indication).

Unless some other angles really impress, this will sadly be a pass for me.

[built2shred]

Did anyone else notice that she kind of has a bulge in her crotch area. :sly2:

Her ear does look a bit weird, not crazy about the face either. I was hoping they were going to make her more young looking around 18'ish and more cute.... She looks a bit to old to be called supergirl...

[A Cimmerian]

I like it. I think the EX will have an alternate head.

[AC_808]

https://www.sideshowtoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/903089_Supergirl_Tweeterhead.jpg

Very nice! Need to see more pics ....

[monomaster1]

The hot pants are wrong. These are like briefs. Not digging the face either. :(

[xforce]

The scale will be 1/6, its interesting I do like it but not love it YET. The ear is off, the pose is a little strange but no where as bad as the one from sideshow. I surprisingly like the costume. The face is different not sure yet on my opinion there. Going to need more pictures for final decision

Interesting this picture is not on tweeterhead facebook or there home page, but thanks for posting it

[jeremydmc]

I like it so far. Want to see more pictures though to make my final decision. Supergirl is my weak spot....so will more than likely get it. It would have to be horrible for me to pass up a Supergirl. So far I have only passed over buying one. LOL

[generalzodlives]

I'm excited for this one. Tweeterhead is going to kill me with this line.

definitely boots, not slippers

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Looks great! My only complaint is her ear, but aside from that I'm loving the energy in the sculpt

[pdenham]

Jose Garcia-Lopez is my favorite living comic book artist.

Never would have guessed that design was from him though.

After seeing the full statue I'm gonna have to pass. The facial portrait is the real deal killer for me. It smarts, as I'll probably never see this costume on this character in a statue again- but I'm past the point of trying to justify a spendy purchase when I'm not 95-100% on board with it.

[generalzodlives]

Definite buy for me. So far the only statue from this line I'm not getting is Harley. Looking forward to see everything in person next week.

[jeremydmc]

Are these ever cheaper anywhere else? Does DCBS solicits these

I've only purchased a couple of Tweeterhead things so far but have never been able to find them cheaper than buying direct. Someone else may know of a place but I have looked and never found one.

[built2shred]

Secret Compass will sometimes sell them like $5-$10 cheaper for the regular edition.

[pdenham]

The Yvonne Craig Batgirl was about $50 cheaper on Amazon - though it lacked the "exclusive" trifold flyer (aka the six photos offered as a substitute for the autograph that never happened).

[jadekite22]

The Yvonne Craig Batgirl was about $50 cheaper on Amazon - though it lacked the "exclusive" trifold flyer (aka the six photos offered as a substitute for the autograph that never happened).

It also lacked the trophy that was supposed to be part of the regular version, but I think they retroactively excluded it due to the autograph situation. Most retailers had it pictured with the statue. I applaud the choice given to direct customers to (IIRC) be refunded or donate the price difference to charity, but the handling of trophy exclusivity bothered me because they didn't even inform the retailers I corresponded with. Luckily Spec Fiction, where I'd ordered initially, honored my cancellation after finding out and changed the photos.

[jadekite22]

Are these ever cheaper anywhere else? Does DCBS solicits these

DCBS/Previews does distribute most of them, but I imagine you know how awkward the monthly solicitation cycles are. While Tweeterhead is still relatively obscure, I don't know that I'd risk waiting for DCBS to make it available months after Tweeterhead and Sideshow do. Streaky's also a pretty worthwhile direct exclusive.

Do they? I can't see the actual bottom of the base there, either. I get they must have wanted the base to blend into the clouds backdrop, but I'd like to fully see what I'm buying. Are the clouds simply cut off? Is there a pedestal? They could have shown at least a pic of the whole statue against a monochrome backdrop.

Agreed. And they only seem to be getting better with the Super Powers collection. Their upcoming Joker looks great. As does the proto for Wonder Woman.

[Demona]

Tweeterhead is the best company that no one is talking about.

Let's hope it stays that way because with these small edition sizes and beautiful pieces - we can't miss out ;)

I think they will be more in scale with the koto stuff. The DC designer series is a little oversized.

Character is irrelevant for me, but looks nice though

[OrangeCrush]

Gonna pass on this and wait for my 1:4 Supergirl. This is a nice piece. I think the portrait could have used a bit more work, in particuar her smile, but its still a nice piece. I like the pose a lot, especialy from the side.

Supergirl, Kandor Base, Bud & Lou and Joker all show as 1st quarter releases....which would be the next few weeks.

But I would think Supergirl would be before Bud & Lou and Joker since she went up for pre sale before they did.

Now that's a pose! - excellent image.

On the subject of Supergirl - Super Powers Collection 1:6 Scale Maquette, her puffy sleeves make her look old fashioned. The positive vibes are good. Her face gives the impression she's a bit of a.. behind that smile.

I've just picked up my 1st Supergirl piece, the Sideshow PF 1/4 scale. I had my doubt's when Sideshow revealed the piece, and the price i could not justify. Having bagged a good price on ebay, i should be able to form a better opinion when it arrives in the coming days.

I'm kinda tired of "sexy" statues, so I like it when companies de-emphasize that aspect of these characters. But yeah, the puffy sleeves aren't quite what I wanted, either. :laugh:

[rykerw1701]

Supergirl looks like Kate Upton in this image. And that's not a bad thing at all, mind you.

[marvelboi77]

Anything yet?

[marvelboi77]

I have this on order, but I'm glad I did not fall for the it arrives in 13 days bit, now please pay. I believe this is over a month past when they stated it would arrive.

Yeah, I'm just assuming it won't be here any time soon and I'll just be surprised when it does ship. Kind of strange how they can be so wrong so many times about it.

[statue-man]

That's why I'm thinking 2019 for Superman. To many irons in the fire.

Some companies shipping crates get cleared quicker

[BrandonJF]

Some companies shipping crates get cleared quicker

Yeah, but I can't recall when anyone has come close to getting an estimated shipping time correct in recent memory. At some point, you'd think a historical failure for factories and customs to meet deadlines would lead to either a more accurate estimated ship date or a later pre-order. For smaller companies, I get that pre-orders can drive the ES. I recall DC eventually soliciting closer to when statues would actually ship - I don't know how much their reliability to meet dates increased. The Prime 1 dates are now over a year out from pre-order and I STILL expect those to get missed.

But, many times it's not that these companies (Tweeterhead is definitely not alone) miss their estimated delivery date - they aren't even close. Supergirl and Mxyzptlk had December 2017 dates. Well, Mxyzptlk STILL has a December 2017 date. Even if Supergirl ships in June, that's still a 6 month delay. For me, I've been around long enough where I already expect a 3-6 (or more) month delay, so this isn't something that is really bothering me. But, I can see where it can put off any newcomers.

I'm surprised they're even bothering to produce Mxyzptlk with less than 100 orders. Not sure how they can profit on that.

[jeremydmc]

I'm good with waiting longer than initial shipping estimate.....it's pretty much a standard now. I have 4 Tweeterhead statues so far and they are all amazing. They are worth the wait time.

Part of the "issue" is this line is so exciting. I want my Wonder Woman really bad, and then Donna Troy, then I want Big Barda and Power Girl announced and released, and then, and then, etc.

Exactly. Anyone one who has been collecting statues for any length of time and frequents the statue forums and FB groups knows his.

But if the companies didn’t provide at least an estimate then buyers wouldn’t be happy. Again, it’s a lose/lose for vendors.

[BrandonJF]

I'm surprised they're even bothering to produce Mxyzptlk with less than 100 orders. Not sure how they can profit on that.

I hope they somehow do, otherwise I don't know how they will be able to justify going too obscure with this line. If nobody bought Mxyzptlk, how am I ever going to get my Geo-Force statue? :)

[nearmint]

They're definitely doing it, but Chad explained that was the reason for the delay. Large edition sizes apparently take precedence at the factory over small ones.

[haljordan99]

I'm surprised they're even bothering to produce Mxyzptlk with less than 100 orders. Not sure how they can profit on that.

They didn't even sell 100 of these? That's disappointing. I want this line to succeed!

[BurningRage]

Also surprised that the Superman EX is only 250. There's been so much talk about this line, but are enough people ordering?

I think the scale and people wanting to see Batman before they start collecting the line played a factor. Collectors only have so much money to spend and there’s DC statues from XM, Iron Studios, Prime 1 and Sideshow coming out. Some may pass on this Superman and go for the Prime 1 Hush, Iron Studios, or Sideshow rebirth instead.

[Gothamite]

I don't like pre-ordering months in advance even though some companies determine Edition Sizes based on pre-orders. I'm gonna PO Donna Troy later this year, closer to its anticipated street date.

[chrismhk]

Same. I want to order joker, wonderwoman, Donna Troy and catwoman, but I am going to order them when they start shipping. It seems like shipping delay is a common occurence with tweeterhead and I don’t want to tie down my money with deposit too soon.

[BurningRage]

Yeah there deposit is high if you want to buy direct and get the exclusives. I think they would get more orders with a 10% deposit.

[jeremydmc]

I was lucky and they have done a lot of my favorites right out of the gate. I’ve POd every one so far. The more they make the more of my older stuff gets pushed into the sale pile. This is the line I was hoping Bowen would do one day.

That's me. I'm waiting on a black and grey Bats. Won't start a line if I don't have a Batman I want in it. My only exception would be a kick a$$ classic Perez Deathstroke. I'll make room in my collection for that.

[Iko Iko]

I hate to say it but the statue collecting bust is upon us. Too many companies, rising costs, the same characters being produced, no room anymore in collectors' rooms, etc. I think that is why the orders are low on the Tweeterhead statues (which are very nice looking). Personally, I would have collected this line 5 years ago but now I have no room.

I don't disagree but with the rising costs in the industry, it is definitely a tougher hobby to enter vs. 10 years ago.

[Gothamite]

True, and while I enjoy finding good deals as much as anyone else, I also think that it's a disaster when statues sit on store shelves for months/years and sell only when discounted 80% to 90% off MSRP. It sends the wrong message to both manufacturers and retailers.

[Commander0Zero]

Couldn't agree more Gothamite. If we as customers don't supports lines we like they go away. On the other hand we need to feel like we are getting good value as customers. It's a fine line for sure.

[Augen]

I don't begrudge anyone for having budget issues with their hobby. I have limits I put on certain statues I want.

The big thing for me is to reward companies for giving me what I want. If I say to Tweeterhead "Give me Big Barda!" and they say "We'll give you two versions!" I do think if I failed to follow through on purchasing day one like I claim (I won't barring a disaster) then I cannot blame them for not catering to me.

[Gothamite]

Well, I'm sure that Barnes & Noble would be better known amongst collectors for having statues if they price matched at least their own website. In this day and age, it's bonkers for a business to have two different sets of prices. When statues sell for 75% off or $2, B&N ends up thinking that people bought statues only bc they were cheap, not bc people actually want statues. It's a vicious cycle.

[SludgesicleMan]

I want this line to succeed so I'm all in for the Batman and Titans characters. Pre Ordered Joker from Tweeterhead and used my Sideshow reward points and purchased Donna Troy through them. I will 100% get Starfire and Raven but Idk if I'll get Robin because I want classic Disco Nightwing a lot more.

[Gothamite]

Idk if I'll get Robin because I want classic Disco Nightwing a lot more.

Please buy the Icon Heroes Disco Nightwing so that Tweeterhead can make another costume or character instead. :praying:

I think you may be torn when you actually see Robin. Amazing. Side by side with Batman may just be one of the best combo of the duo's classic look

I already have the Prototypez Nightwing in Brian Stelfreeze's iconic blue and black costume. I love that statue. Plus, I thought all of these statues were supposed to be older "classic" style costumes. I would take another Black and Blue as well but I would really dig the OG.

Looking at how they were considering different costumes for starfire, I don’t think they are strictly doing classic style. Icon heroes is making classic nightwing and I do not have the prototypez black/blue nightwing, so I would very much prefer black/blue 1/6 scale. But just like you, I would still take another classic nightwing.

[jimjimmyjones85]

Is that a Brazilian custom run Nightwing?

[xforce]

No I am pretty sure its the prototype Z (by eric sosa) nightwing

[jimjimmyjones85]

Ah so it's an old kit.

[built2shred]

Ah so it's an old kit.

It's like couple years old, it was part of a license Prototype Z got but after a few kits the line wasn't popular enough to keep paying for the license so it got cancelled.

It really is taking a bit too long for this statue to be delivered...

Agreed. I love Artemis, but as far as this line is concerned, I don't think I personally would pick it up. I think I'm going to stay strictly pre-Crisis -kinda wish they would too. I don't even understand how/why they plan to produce Wonder Girl/Cassie Sandsmark. I'd rather see Hippolyta, Fury, Silver Swan, Captain Wonder, Dr. Psycho, etc.

A few of those are outside of the "superpowers" line.

Dr. Psycho is a must. Silver Swan will be an interesting design challenge as these will all be sculpted parts not mixed media

Grphyx1,
Since I'm still fairly new to this, and just for clarification what exactly is Tweeterhead's design aim with this line? "Super Powers" to me is early 80s...pre-Crisis. Mr. Myx, Supergirl, WW, Superman, Wondergirl, Martian Manhunter, and Catwoman all fit into this -and they're perfect. That's what brought me here and what I ultimately want.

Harley Quinn and Cassie Sandsmark do not fit that description. I'm already concerned about the top hat and tails Zatanna and I'm seeing people requesting punk, clone Superboy and 1999 Kendra Hawkgirl. I want the Super Powers satellite-era JLA and the villains from that same period. Am I going to be disappointed in the long run? Why not just have a separate DC banner not called "Super Powers." That label seems pretty specific to me.

[chrismhk]

What’s wrong with being flexible? There are customers that are here for the super powers era, but there are also customers who are here for Tweeterhead making characters that were ignored by other companies.

Hmmm…not quite sure how to answer that. For me personally, I have memories of walking into a shoe store (as a kid, no one wanted to go buy new shoes) in my home town and I guess they had started carrying action figures because I turned the corner and the Super Powers Collection Wave three was all on the pegs. Firestorm, Cyborg etc. For me this era is really what I think are the perfect versions of these characters...most of them….When we get around to Mr. Freeze we’ll have to figure out what version to do. When I pitched this line, I basically said “I want to take one part Alex Ross (Brilliant game changer of an artist), one part Jose Garcia Lopez (Who designed our Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Donna Troy, Joker and Robot Brainiac Maquettes), one part Sideshow Collectibles (All Around A+ collectibles and super star team), one part Randy Bowen (amazing sculptor and company) and all of the SPC toys (best toy line ever imo), put them in a pot and see what comes out” Basically getting a definitive classic version of each character in their traditional costume but with a little extra “zing” to bring them up to the modern age. People have joked that I am “Mr. 60’s” because of all the classic TV properties we have covered. It’s nice to at least make it to the 90’s…HAHA!

[No1WonderFan]

Nothing at all. I just don't see me picking those up...and that's fine. I'd just like to have those versions (70s & 80s) of certain characters and anything else could be a bonus.

I certainly don't mean others shouldn't have what they want. It's just my OCD wanting consistency in my own collection. Ha. For example, I would not purchase any Zatanna other than the Perez costume for my own display. So I'd just feel like she was missing. Hopefully they'll produce both that and the magician outfit...pleasing everyone.

It just seems easier to me if they tried to produce most everyone in the Super Powers era style guide (in those incarnations) and then branched out to other periods. Again, like I said, it's my OCD wanting a complete matched set.

Think Bowen Designs when considering this line! The Superpowers title is throwing people off in multiple directions like a mechanical bull in a country bar. The Superpowers title has no effect on the lines direction, the line is ment to encompass the entire Dc Universe past, not so past and hopefully not the present as I’ve herd what a horrible state the comics are in! Bottom line you can have multiple versions of characters from various time periods.

Pretty sure that once everyone sees the line up at SDCC they'll appreciate the cohesive feel of the designs. Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Supergirl, Batman, Robin, GL, Catwoman It'll look sweet.

[No1WonderFan]

And it was that perfect, beautiful Supergirl design that brought me to Tweeterhead and the forum. My first thought was "that's MY Supergirl."

Just wanted to tie it back to her....being that it's the Supergirl thread. Ha. And then they showed Wonder Woman and I almost had a heart attack. "That's MY Wonder Woman too!"
:buttrock:

[broncofan66]

Yes, the style of this line is striking. The Joker, Wonder Woman and Superman statues were the ones that sold me. It looks like they stepped right off the pages of a comic book. All of them look pretty amazing so far.

People have joked that I am “Mr. 60’s” because of all the classic TV properties we have covered. It’s nice to at least make it to the 90’s…HAHA!

I cannot find the post, but I'd be the culprit of wanting Diana, Donna, and Cassie all together. It can be hard to keep up with what is confirmed or not given the sheer breadth of characters Tweeterhead is projecting to take on over next five + years.

Not sure where the confirmed source they said they got it from is though?

And it was that perfect, beautiful Supergirl design that brought me to Tweeterhead and the forum. My first thought was "that's MY Supergirl."

Just wanted to tie it back to her....being that it's the Supergirl thread. Ha. And then they showed Wonder Woman and I almost had a heart attack. "That's MY Wonder Woman too!"
:buttrock:

I was always more of a Marvel guy for comics and the only exposure I had to Supergirl was Crisis On Infinite Earths. Ever since then I've loved this design of her over all others.

When I reviewed all the Facebook posts and other posts in this forum to compile the list, I do remember Wonder Girl being listed.

However, the "Wonder Girl" listed may have been Donna Troy instead of Cassandra Sandsmark.

So, I guess this is a possible question for Tweeterhead ...

That would be my thinking. Next live feed will be on Friday June 15 at Noon PST, 3 p.m. EST

It would be good to get some clarification. I wondered if it was a mix-up as well. I mean, the one we're getting is Donna as Wondergirl.

I'd just hope to see all the silver/bronze age WW characters (like Fury and Hippolyta) before they even considered Cassie.

I'd flip if they made Fury. No company has ever made anything in her likeness.

I won't argue with your choices, I'm just greedy and want them all.

I'm quite partial to that costume as well. The one we're getting was what I was first introduced to, but I even had the issue as a kid where she got her new (Crisis) costume.

It was actually changed from the 1982 style guide to the 1984 one right as the Super Powers line was being created. You can find most of the same style guide images with her in both costumes.

[Primus]

I’m sure that further in to the Superpowers line we will see revisited characters in alternative costumes.

I remember when the costume debuted I liked it but when they gave her the headband and the really bad 80's long hair perm then I thought it was too much.

That last image would make an excellent diorama, like the Teen Titans one from DC Collectibles or the set from Icon Heroes.

I'm completely opposite. It might have something to do with those crazy exercise shows in 80's where women wore next to nothing and had headbands with perms. I love it.

That image is a perfect example of why I hope we get the Perez-costumed Zatanna (and why I hope people vote for her in the poll). We"ve already seen 3 of these lovely ladies coming up, bring on the rest. But I just can't see that scene working as well with magician Zatanna.

Has everyone seen the test photos where they were considering using the Crisis costume in the Helen Slater movie?

[broncofan66]

I'm happy with the costume they used for this piece. It's unique. Glad they used it and not the headband costume. Now if they would just ship the damn thing...

[Master Pizza]

Lol. Looks terrible, but so do 99% of test costumes.

[broncofan66]

Hoping she will be shipping this week or the next, Should be close.

[xforce]

Very excited, I thought the ex on this one was the best of all, streaky

It’s supposed to be shipping out early this week, no? Still no news?

[Detective27]

No news yet. Selfishly hoping for early next week, when I'm home.

[Kebron]

Just preordered the EX. Looking forward to it shipping out next week.

[Detective27]

Cool! Looking forward to it as well.

[marvelboi77]

2 months ago they said they would have it in 2 weeks.

1 month ago they said the container was pulled and inspected and that held it up.

Recently they said that she was on the water.

I don't mind the delay as much as I mind the alarm sounding to finish paying for the statue and still being months out. Not fair.

I can see how that would be annoying when they asked you to pay it off and it hasn't shipped. I always full pay them so I just figure they'll ship when they ship and don't worry too much about it.

Ha ha. I wish it was because I was fancy/rich. I actually full pay because it helps me budget. Same reason I use flex pay on Sideshow. That way I know exactly when the payments are coming out rather than getting an e-mail at a random time that says I owe them a couple hundred dollars. But I don't worry about delays or shipping times because I've learned that's part of the hobby and out of my control.

I know, I'm actually the same way, lol. I avoid making split payments whenever possible.

Finally, Finally and on a Friday no less. Supergirl has just docked in the US. We have to unload and get through customs!!

There aren't that many exclusives so we can knock them out on the day they are delivered!!

Thanks again for being patient with her delivery.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Yeah

[grphyx1]

If you're on the fence about the Ex, I'd suggest you get her before she's gone, which will be soon

Fantastic news, thanks Chad!

Roughly how long can the unload, customs process take?

EXCELLENT news! :thumbs2:

[haljordan99]

Sweet. Looking forward to having a second statue from this line. They need to start coming faster! :p

[mmk123]

I am very close to ordering but am still on the fence. I really would like to see a picture of the actual finished product next to other statues or even by itself before purchase.

[Rexdriver]

I really hope this statue is delivered real soon, and before Tweeterhead opens up another pre-order for another statue, whichever line it may be. Just to put things in perspective, I've pre-ordered 11 items in the Super Powers line and only 2 have arrived so far. Will definitely be more re-assuring to customers if this ratio decreases rather than increases.

My understanding is that she should be shipping out sometime this week, and WOW you pre-ordered them all?! Good for you! As soon as you get her take some pics and post please.

[generalzodlives]

I've ordered them all as well and agree that it's a little frustrating to only have Harley and Kandor on the shelf.

Same here. All of them PO'd so far. Harley is looking pretty lonely by herself. I Have Kandor on another shelf waiting for Supergirl......and eventually the base.

[Kebron]

They have listed a lot of statues already, with some of them probably a year out. As exciting as announcements are of upcoming statues, I too think they should focus on getting at least half of the announced ones out the door to customers before telling us about another 5 more upcoming really awesome statues.

The other thing that is confusing to me is that we are getting them out of order. I thought Joker was next then Supergirl.

[No1WonderFan]

So I have a question. Should I order each one individually so that I can pay off each one as they're shipped? For example, I put Supergirl, Wonder Woman,.and Superman all on the same order. Because Supergirl is about to be released, will I have to pay off the balance on all 3 at once?

I think it's best if you fire off an email to debbie@tweeterhead.com and ask. I would think you'd pay for each as they are shipped.

[mmk123]

I sent an email to Tweeterhead asking about my Catwoman 2nd payment and Debbie responded to me. She said that I would get an email 2 to 3 weeks before the statue is going to be shipped to me asking for my 2nd payment.

I would send an email to Tweeterhead and ask them directly.
