Very different, and I like Huntress as well

I think of the two pieces as - Black Canary is the hyper realistic style of some SS statues, while Huntress is comic book in style. I vastly prefer the comic book look because I don't like my statues to look like actors/actresses. You may not like Black Canary if you don't like to look at Natalie Dormer because that is who I think she looks like. Who, as an actress, I enjoy and think she is great, but still photos are not her best looks. Natalie is beautiful, but she makes odd faces when still...it's interesting. She looks better when she is in motion, but here she is in a static statue which is hit/miss for some.

Yeah I think she looks like Rachel Riley from countdown lol if you're not in the UK you won't know who that is but have a Google! Very pretty but not black Canary to me, I was hoping for a switchout head as I like the rest of the sculpt

After a google - I do see the resemblance to Rachel Riley. I'm with you that neither is BC. Which is why I always prefer the "comic book" statue styling.

I actually prefer the OG Black Canary to the new one, so I'll be keeping it until the P1 releases in 2028.

I was never a huge fan of the OG Huntress, but this one is far worse. Her build below the waist is just completely incongruous with the character, and her face is just weird. Fortunately I have the P1 Hush Huntress, and it's one of my all-time favorites, so I'm good on Huntress for now.

No, but more Huntress is good for the fans to have options!

I cannot see me coming down off the fence with this one. I like the piece from the waist up. I like the base design also. Since all boxes are not ticked, other pieces on the wants list remain priority. But who knows, maybe further down the line, i 'might' see the piece in a different light. I will stay tuned to see how the factory piece turns out

Come on man... How can you not like this Huntress statue ? first of all, i'm in love with that angelic face. Second, she doesn't wear high hills... Ofcourse i love a elogant woman with high hills, but not when she is going to fight crime... that's rediculous. Beautiful costume overall.
