These look pretty incredible. Had to walk away form GG's Sucker Punch line and I like Whisper so I might be inclined to pick her up if the price is south of $300.

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

Shameless rip of the Sucker Punch line, even down to the bases and the animated artwork for the promotion, but the quality is again incredible - probably even better and more detailed than the SP girls. GG are again showing Sideshow the way when it comes to female characters.

Thanks for your great pictures Jedi Don.

If the prices are right then I will get them all.
They would standing nice to the Sucker Punch statues.

I don't care if they are rip-offs from the Sucker Punch line, I see chicks with guns and I loved it.

It is looking more likely that I will invest in this line. Thanks guys, for contributing to the delinquency of a collector. Damn it!

I wonder this ES too?

I hope these are actually unlimited editions, I would like to get them all, but it would be nice not to have to sell a kidney to do so! Plus, because these arn't attached to any particular I.P. there's probably little (actual) collectibility (in the traditional sense) with these. I mean, ok, if GG really do push this into the realm of books, comics, and film, then they will become (presumably) quite desirable, but that's a big "maybe"......

I guess it would just be nice to be able to collect something without even having to think about (R.O.I), just buy it cause it' nice kinda thing.

In this vid the guide talks about the "future" of Honey Trap, it sounds pretty exciting, I have to say! And my god, do these statues look sweet!

And more than IMO. Both the Sucker Punch and Honey Trap series show what can be done and should be done with digital sculpts.

I know that digital sculpts have their detractors and the early generation were quite poor, but I think digital sculpting has evolved to be a viable method.

Agreed. Can you imagine Star Wars, LotR, Marvel, DC, etc. lines in this style and with this level of detailing? Not to mention the outstanding paints, which may be the best of all three of the top producers. Whoever is art directing these and Sucker Punch knows what they are doing. If GG started producing 1:4 scale statues for its top licenses I'd be rethinking the entire collection.
