So other than the names.....pretty much no change then? LOL
Well, the part of the store with metal garage-style gates was under construction for a while so that they could prep a nice area for the statues. Everything does look pretty now, though sometimes someone will shove a statue inside a shelf that's barely taller than the statue. You can see the head touching the upper glass, lol.

Years ago I sold them a Dark Horse Bettie Page statue. I told them it had a known leaning issue but mine had never toppled over. They put it on the top shelf about 10 feet up and a couple weeks later came crashing down.

Looks like Supergirl is scheduled for March 2019.

Like this one. There’s a strange thin area in the left shoulder though.

Hopefully it is just from that angle. I like to see it from multiple angles but so far it seems very nice.

I haven't read Metal yet, so I'm surprised to see that Diamond is charging full speed with statues based on that storyline. Was it really popular with readers?

It was a mild to solid success. Nothing huge, but not a flop. I thought it was fine, if a bit like seeing the DC Universe through the lens of an angsty teenager. None of the Dark Universe characters landed for me, but it did set up some possibilities with future events that I won't spoil.

I was looking forward to Justice League: Odyssey, but they've delayed it so many times now that I sometimes forget that it's supposed to happen.
