I just received my copy today. Currently don't have any space to assemble and display her so I placed all the parts back into the box after checking them for damages (none fortunately).

This is my very first premium level 1/4 scale figure purchase, and I'm very happy with the paintjob and overall quality I know the reactions to this statue were pretty mixed, but I personally really like the "angry" portrait, and it really does look alot better in person than in photos.

The only minor complaint I have is they should have placed the artprint into a plastic sleeve before placing it into the envelope. As the envelope was bigger than the print, it allowed for movement which caused minor rubbing on the print. Did anyone frame their print and can recommend a particular brand/size frame they found suitable?

I'm considering getting myself a Witchblade. I don't have Darkness, and have no intention of getting Magdalena. But, I am still holding out hope that they do Angelus. Plus, I think she would look pretty good next to the new Sideshow Aspen.

Personally, I wouldn't put them together.

You'll see the difference in anatomy and sculpt very glaringly. That's just me, tho.

Hmm, IDK if I agree.

Here's like the crappiest, fastest photoshop I did based on the two closest images I could find size wise. I still think they look good despite the mismash of pics.

Not like it matters what I think about this, but I have to agree after seeing them next to each other. They have enough things in common, like base, posture, expression, etc. that they don't look out of place if they would be displayed next to each other.

Damn. They could totally be BFFs if you'd ask me!

It’s just me ...my preference.

I don’t like the sculpt on Witchblade, but I really like the sculpt on Aspen. I just wouldn’t put them together.

I really think XM could’ve done so much better with Witchblade ...

After repositioning my statue collection, Witchblade’s head is awkwardly small than everyone’s. The long hair is worst because it creates an illusion of a longer and titling head like that of a cobra. I wish to have a new Witchblade worthy to be line with Magdalena, Aspen and the perfection of that is the Darkness.

Yup, totally agree.

The XM Darkness was so perfect, I couldn't order fast enough. I was so blown away by that. I've had that statue for awhile now and enjoy every bit of it. That's how I know XM could've done a much better Witchblade.

And the SSC Aspen looks top notch. Love having that too. Now I'm wishing and waiting for a better/worthy Witchblade statue.

Aspen's pose looks natural. Witchblade's pose looks forced. I bailed on Witchblade for various reasons. I love Aspen
