After initially dismissing this, I ended up ordering it when SS began offering free shipping + $25 off a couple weeks back.
The early pics of this never bowled me over, and I was pining my hopes on the first season sculpt. When that one left me unsure (some pics look decent, others make it look like a big miss), I was back to square one and decided to look a little closer at this.
One of the youtube reviews got me thinking that maybe I was too harsh. I figured I'd wait and if a decent enough deal ever came along...
So now that it's in hand, my thoughts are that that youtube review gave me a excellent idea of what to expect. It's not a home run to me, but a decent enough representation of the actress in character.
The paint apps are great, both in terms of color choices and application.
There is an aspect to the realization of the pose + portrait that bugs me, but in general I like it more and more the longer I longer I look at it.
Unlike the Supergirl I had up in the same spot, this piece looks better to me at or below eye level.
Bright, overhead (room) lighting also improves my impression, compared to just having natural window light or dim light from a lamp.
Overall, it's generated a positive enough opinion that I've decided to take a shot on the first season offering too.
Haven't decided yet If I'm going to bother going through TH for it, but at some point I'll definitely be picking it up.

Yeah. I'm happy enough with mine, but I gotta say that you got the superior rendition between the two.
The eyes on yours are definitely better. Mine are OK from certain angles, but not this (prime) angle.
