Woah...I really like this prototype! The vines look so dynamic and free flowing. Much more vine coverage when compared to the previous one which only had vines on her legs. I also like how the plant connects to the bottom of her feet.

Unfortunately the price completely kills it for me. I don't get it. This costs more than the new Wonder Woman...and that has a light up feature. Ugh...

Anyway...I'm going to vote the best way I know how...with my wallet...by not purchasing. I'm just not down for these prices man.

Peace...

That's probably why she's all green. If they had gone with a flesh colored Ivy with all that skin, wowza!

If anyone is good with Photoshop, I'd love to see a normal skin tone version of this.

So I was right early on about there being a seam:

Called that, too.

Yup. I can't picture many people displaying this statue from any other angle. All you'd see is essentially a lot of hair and a nose.

There seems to be a neck seam, though.

The pose is dynamic but the rest of this piece is horrible.

When I look at the face sculpt for Spider-Gwen, I wonder why the face sculpts for DC characters look so bad.

This is the angle to display! Never mind that front angle with the hair over the face.

We are opposites on this. I like the hair. Just looks like a woman who has thick, wavy hair plus volume.

The mouth is what is off-putting.

The one side (the right side when looking at the pic) of it is so stiff and doesn't hang naturally at all, makes it look like 80's hair blasted with too much hairspray.

A little bit like this

Which Spider-Gwen? XM or SS?

Wonder Woman is the best female portrait I've seen for the PF's. Maybe Red Sonja is tied.

Yeah i don’t understand it either, i remember someone asking me or rather telling me that i like everything SS does, to which explained no, i just don’t spend most of my time in threads bashing statues i don’t like.

Ex portrait is growing on me too, i love the hair on it.
