Probably the only forced perspective piece I've seen that actually works. Now we'll see nothing but forced perspective pieces.

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

Getting Starlet for sure. And the forced perspective element stays in the box.

It is about time someone at Sideshow owns up to the pushing of the 3D forced perspective base concepts. They need to be STOPPED!

Mr. Sin at the top of the stairs . . well I guess there goes my hope for a Mr. Sin statue. Starlet looks great though . . and I actually like the Dancer one also. Looking forward to getting both.

After seeing this video and the pic of the two, I actually prefer the octopus lady over the other one, even though the blonde is technically a lot prettier.

Though less realistic I think if they had the diver in a Bikini it would help sales. These will sell solely on sex appeal.

I think Dancer has got the sex appeal as it is. Just that the portrait is a bit of a let-down.

Don't understand why Harbottle wouldn't give it a prettier face to match that on Starlet.

It is hard to do a pretty straining face.

The position of her legs and the octopus is very suggestive but the secks is way less than Ursula.

Starlet outsells Dancer 3-4 to 1 or more.

I wish I liked Dancer's face more. I'm just not understanding the fierceness of her face, but her eyes are closed. She is aiming that speargun with closed eyes? Harbottle seems to have been going with her masked got pulled off because she was ambushed by the giant octopus - but that doesn't match the face.

I would have preferred the mask and regulator in place with the eyes open underneath. Or a different facial expression to match the story being told.

I really like Starlet's base. Very smart to put Mr. Sin up on top in the lighted stairs. That whole statue is a home run IMO.

Dancer's eye's are slightly open.
