So just looking for some clarity/confirmation on these from those in the know... this is a new line of comic inspired DC characters and they're in 1:6 scale?

From Sideshow:

Ah, didn't see that pic. Clear resin, no support rod? This'll be leaning in a few years guaranteed if there's any weight to her at all.

Yes and most probably.

Their website has a clear image showing the non-goggles head and hand-with-gun as the EX, but on Facebook they just posted that that's the REG. I think they're confused!

I guess what it comes down to is if you want both portraits, you have to order from their site.

At 18.5" tall this piece looks closer to 1:7 scale to me.

I really wish these companies would state the scale in addition to the dimensions as they're not the same thing. Collectors want consistency in their displays and knowing what you might or might not be able to pair it up with outside of it's respective line would only serve to increase sales I'd think.

It should. Speaking from experience it will lean over time without a support rod unless you can rest her against something which kind of ruins the aesthetics of the piece IMO.

If Harley is 5'-8" then she should be 11.3" tall in 1/6 scale. Given the base and her outstretched arm I think 18.5" is 1/6 scale. Won't know for sure until I can get a tape measure on her.


If anyone has any contacts with Tweeterhead can they ask them how they went about making sure the statue will not lean over time. I seriously doubt she will sell out anytime soon so I rather get an answer from Tweeterhead before ordering as I don't want a $300 paper weight after she leans and the resin snaps.
