I'm hoping she looks OK diagonally on this shelf.

I may complain about the eyes, but the details and care taken with the suit are aces.

If that's the case, maybe companies need to stop showing things before they're approved. Every time I'm excited for a piece, then see "Pending" I calm my expectations down. For this Catwoman though, that "Pending" warning is unbelievably small.

Personally, I'm OK with the change, since I thought it was a bit heavy on the prototype, but when you're spending over $500, I think there should be a bit more transparency that the final product may still change, or that they should show updated photos before putting it up for sale.

I'll have her in about 16 hours. Provided somebody doesn't post pics in the meantime are there any specific shots you guys want?

I would just like to see how her face looks when lit from above, the way many of us will have her.

It wasn't heavy on the proto.

Her eyes brows are wider and her eyes were heavily lined and smoked out.

I think I am going to print decals of her actual eyes and use them on the statue. The decals TH choose from the beginning didn't make sense.

Just got around to checking my shipping, mine is out on the move. Will be here by Thursday!

I said it was my personal opinion that it was heavier. Her eyeshadow is actually some blue with the eyes lined in black, and they seemed to have used a heavier black overall. Big difference between eyeliner and eyeshadow. I'm just theorizing that this is maybe why the production piece is lighter, that WB might have thought it was heavier too.

I'll find out for myself shortly. Mine should be here within the hour.

I had a thought. Shouldn't the staples that hold the outfit together really be silver?

The outfit is held together by white thread not staples.
