My WW arrived safely with no damage, but I fear this line is going to be plagued with broken name plaques.



Look familiar?

I just opened mine from bbts and it had the same breakage. I'm wondering if I got your statue?

I have a feeling they are doing these in split shipments. A lot of people got Harley weeks ago, but mine is still on pre-order scheduled for the 31st.

I picked up a supergirl at my local LCS after returning the broken one to BBTS. They told me that they got a second shipment with reissued numbers because so many of the first ones had cracked plates.

Yeah I figured it might be something like that.. The packaging was horribly done for Supergirl

These statues could have been something really special, but the horrible decision with the bases and the sloppy paint jobs completely ruin them. It's a shame.

I was really looking forward to this line prior to release. A few weeks before the first shipped, I just had an odd feeling about them and cancelled the 3 I had on order.
After seeing all these problems, I'm glad I passed. The paint is really sloppy and the breakages are inexcusable. Happy I passed on this line entirely

Got my Batgirl today. I think she came out great. Here are some pictures, sorry for the bad lighting.

Ugh. Just got my Poison Ivy Bombshell and two of the vines are missing.

Getting sick of DCCs lack of quality control...

Wasn't sure where to post this, but for people into the bombshell line, they're now selling art prints of the pics that the statues were based on:
https://store.qmxonline.com/DC-Comics_c_65.html

It also shows hawk girl, which could be a preview of what she'll look like in statue form
