Thanks all!

Here's my latest state acquisition. It's the Marvel Premiere Collection Psylocke. I know a lot of guys on here don't like this particular piece, but I really like it. What's best is I got it on Amazon for a very cool price of $84.50! It came MISB with CoA # 129/2,500. It's in absolutely perfect condition. No factory damages that I can see and I've gone through every square mm of it and the base.

It looks really nice in person. It has good shading on the muscles and in appropriate places. The sword is a separate piece. The bodysuit and boots have a nice semi-metallic purple paint app with very minimal paint overlap. Paint on the gloves, arm wrap, and thigh wrap is glossy purple paint. The fingernails are long and have a sharp red paint, as well as the lips. And yes, they sculpted her some long fingernails (very tiny). The eyes look aligned to me. The hair is semi-glossy purple. The overall sculpt of the statue is very sharp and crisp. They even sculpted her some nipples underneath the bodysuit, which are quite pronounced. I was a bit surprised by this since it's a Marvel statue. From what I know these details are usually toned down, but this is somewhat of an exception.

The base is simple but pretty detailed. It gets the job done. The sculpt of the grass does a good job of giving an illusion of actual blades of grass when viewed at certain angles. The paint apps on the two bamboos look spot on and realistic. The stones and "tower" have realistic paint apps too.



So as a whole, I really like this statue. I think I got my money's full worth at $84.50 + $20 USPS Priority Mail. On Ebay US this gets posted for no less than $150 from what I've see recently.

Thanks. The case is a Japanese import I bought from a Japanese specialty store here where I live for $20 each. It's 14" tall this one. I have two 18" versions of this I use for my Vampirella Comiquette and CS Moore Alice in Wonderland.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.
