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

need more pictures, looks decent overall, but 2 main issues for me

1) The hair is way too thick, same problem with most female statues with long hairs, when it's too thick it looks unnatural and like a sculpted black blob. Here it isn't the worst, but wish it's thinner

2) I know this is artgem style, but the face looks too much like the standard japanese anime female. For horror/vampirella, it should be bit more realistic. The sideshow version where she sits on a giant skull is still my favorite style wise (cheap plastic suit, subpar paint aside).

Maybe the full reveal photos will void those concerns.

Do these guys usually sell out on pre orders?

3) I refuse to reward their extortionate pricing. I have a feeling this will attempt to push towards $2K - I mean, their 1/4 scales are routinely around $1.5K now, so this is not going to be cheaper....and while thats the way the industry is trending, I expect quality and punctuality for my increased outlay.....
If that is near 2k I'm not getting it. It's not that different from the Harley on the couch they got.

Oof, as someone who knows nothing of the character but is in love with this statue, that's to rich for me. Too much to justify.
