To be fair, a crappy cell phone pic using a flash of the XM piece would probably look just as bad as that pic.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Yep. And although I actually think the XM Harley is better, you have to factor in price. It's not $325 better.

Yeah, anytime a new piece releases I feel like should be an * on photos.



For me if Desert Dragon cannot make it look good it is lost. Not the case on any Tweeterhead pieces.

I can't argue against that. More than double the price is tough to swallow.

Uh what? Have the names officially changed in the comics? Or, if not, why would DC all of a sudden force a statue company to change their names out of the blue?

Crappy picture... I have one and she looks absolutely gorgeous. I will reserve my judgment on XM until I see production piece... especially that not a single one was released yet.

I don't know, perhaps the Abbot and Costello estate asked for it?

That's going the other way, the colors on mine are nowhere near that crisp and bright in person...

Well hell let me climb inside her mouth and take some pictures because from a normal viewing distance you don't see jack... And I stick by my opinion she looks like she's wearing bad dentures..

Here you go, if I got any closer my camera would be hitting her... You can barely make out a little white, the thing is you can't see it with the naked eye you have to zoom in with the camera... Not to mention when your this zoomed in the paint application looks horrible... luckily you can't see that with the naked eye either unless you got superman's vision.... If you actually owned a statue you might know this...
