This hobby is very subjective.

There's always going to be differing opinions. Not silly ...just different opinions.

She looks tall and towering over Joker and Harley.

This line up needs Riddler, Two Face, Scarecrow and Penguin!!

I think the old Joke and Harley PF looks classier than the new action pose.

The Joker and Harley go together style wise, Poison Ivy looks different and doesn't fit with those two.
Batman appears to be next in line style wise to Harley and Joker. Not a problem,
as out of the four, Poison Ivy reg is the only one i'm interested in.

You do realize there is randomness in terms of how statues hold up short term or long term and with QC, right? As much as it sucks that that happened to yours, you could easily find one without the issue if having the Batgirl PF is that important to you.

Not to say you should or shouldn't try either way, but you don't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater due to a bad experience with a piece. If we all did that, there would be 6 people left in the hobby. Every piece has some degree of imperfection/flaw/damage if you look closely enough.

COI, when the nicked paint happened to mine, I researched the issue on eBay and found other statues with nicked paint, too. Furthermore, when I asked about it in the Batgirl thread, someone else replied that his came with nicked paint straight from the factory.

As much as I would like to buy Batwoman and Huntress, I'd do so only if I can match them with a 1/4-scale Batgirl. I'm sure I'm not the only collector who starts with a favorite character first.

Her face is good but she has too much muscle... I don't know if i need another Poison Ivy anyway. I guess i'm happy with the first pf and my women of dc bust. I especially love the women of DC bust's face, DC bust is the definetive Poison Ivy face for me. Hard to top that.

Will quite happily stick with my green with envy.

Sculpt
The reg head, hair and her back are beautiful.
The actual ivy on her body looks nowhere near as detailed as the old piece.

Paint
Love the hair, face, skin and base.
The ivy on her body looks very bland compared to the old pf.

This is $235 more than the old one, does not feel like it to me.

I always liked the original Ivy over the variant. The skin on “green with envy” reminded me of Irish spring soap. Lol

I usually prefer Ivy to have a more natural skin tone, but I like the green they went with on the new one though. Looks more organic than the colour they chose for the variant.
