Yeah, I keep hearing the complaints, look at the piece and don’t get it? Looks good to me. Not like the last one (which I have) where the jester heads eyes are clearly off and SS just shrugged and said it’s supposed to look like that.

I love everything about the production piece except the positioning of the eyes. If I were to get the piece used for the photo shooting, I would ask for a replacement. If they cannot provide better, I would return it.

I do accept downgrades in paint app from the prototype because those are completely normal IMO but I would never accept a cross-eyed statue.

I have no idea what you are looking at?

Of course, to each its own.
If I have to spend more than 700$, that's what I want:

I own pieces made by perfectly unknown Chinese studios whose portraits are much better than that what I see on SSC production pieces.
I don't collect to get used to constant downgrade or even mediocrity.
I can’t help but make the parallel with the 12 days of Sideshow. We only see silhouettes or banners but a lot of people here seem to be happy... to see nothing.
Probably the reasons why I’m now looking at QS, IS, JND and some of those unknown Chinese studios I talked about.
After two disappointments, I even became suspicious with P1. I will not order anything from them until I have seen the first in hand photos.

Yeah agreed. The production piece isn't even close to being cross eyed.

I might cancel this for crossing my personal cheesecake threshold. It's very nice, but maybe too overly sexualized.

Having some more male Gotham representation would help me out, Sideshow...

I think the production piece looks great, definitely much better than what I was expecting to come out of Sideshow.

Not sure why, but I accept oversexualization with Harley more than other female characters. I think it’s the complicated contrast of her come-hither look and the giant mallet she often wields.

I think the production pictures are not far off from the proto but it will be your in hand experience that counts. If you don't like it, I'm sure there will be a 2021 Harley coming up next. We all know this.
