The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Thanks for sharing SDguy, just posted about how disappointing it is. Why would you split the original cover art in half? Now I'm really not interested.

I might have still bought this despite it being very similar to Sideshows, if you got both Alice and Calie as one statue.

However, Divine missed the great opportunity to do something original and creative with Alice when they settled for Campbell art work.

Again I like Scott Campbell's art, but really should have chosen another artist.

Also, if they absolute had to split Alice and Calie in to two statues, at very least, fill Bases with something interesting.

While I can appreciate your perspective, maybe expecting them to jump into a full blown 1/4 scale dio of multiple characters is a bit much?

You could be right SDguy, just I'm a big fan of both Alice and Calie from Zenescope comics, and I'm really not getting that feeling when I look at what Divine has shown us so far.

Also, if they do need to split up Alice and Calie, the bases need to reflect Wonderland; and right now they are not doing that.

100%, I'm unsure why they wanna copy fairytale fantasies soo much, this line doesn't need Campbell's art!
Stand out, be unique, Van Helsing looks awesome, keep going in that direction

Now any chance of seeing Red Riding Hood photo like the Van Helsing one?

I don't know. Maybe they are still working on it.

I think Van Helsing looks perfect, but I would remove the small candles on the headstone in front of her, the art up above only has candles in front of the headstone, not sitting on it

I was wondering why her eyes were so far apart and then I saw the art it's based on.
