Besides all that, she is a gorgeous Bishoujo. Very happy I got her for less than retail, no shipping, no sales tax. Only nitpick I guess is that they didn't put any sort of pads on her base, and she is a tiny bit wobbly.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Great to have another store option that seems reliable.
... as long as 'wobbly' isn't an indicator of a bootleg.. but she looks real to me!

Yeah, plenty of $35 bootlegs on Ebay, but I passed  . Wobbly is probably the wrong word... it's actually no different than Raven or Starfire, now that I think about it. Just no distinct flat base like Batwoman or Batgirl.

I do like this one a lot. Just priced out of my willingness.  Enjoy!

That's good to hear. Thanks for the update. I'll try them out.
Weird about the pads under the base.

Well like I said, Raven and Starfire are also what I would call wobbly (or just not super stable), and neither have any pads of any kind, so I shouldn't be surprised I guess.

I'm not a major Bishoujo collector so I'm not used to the original prices of many pieces, but I will say DP is a decent amount of statue for the price in today's market.

I got mine from Japan and can confirm that there is a slight wobble. But, once I put it on display, the wobble went away with the weight over time. This is also quite common with the figures that come without a standard base from them. I had the same experience with Scarlett Bishoujo.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.
