For the choice of red vs black....

For Red I prefer the contrast and detail of the paint with the blood red, dark red, and black. The shading is also more discernable. And the EX katanas.





For the black it's just that everything looks better....in black. And I appreciate the upgrade to the peg.

Now that I am looking at these pieces again I am tempted......to pick up the black.

Dayum!!

Look at that back!!!!!!

GREAT piece!!!!!!

perfection.

no need for a new Elektra at this time SS.

Also, from a proto vs production piece, the factory nailed it!
Will Harbottle with Susan (acting as model) made quite a team.

And if so.....it has a pretty high bar to reach and surpass.

I mean, 1. both versions are sold out, so as far as SS is concerned, it IS a good time for a new one LOL. And 2, defend it all you like (I did), the red one at least had a somewhat common float/lean issue, which isn't really great.

The new one still doesn't beat this one though. But I'm happy for people that like it (mostly for the action pose I assume).

I was just talking about that with a friend. We both love the amber/honey brown of this PF, but I have no idea what the comics have.

I don't think blue fits her look at all, but it is what it is.

Yeah, I normally love blue eyes black hair combo, but in Elektra's case, I prefer the amber/honey brown.

Looks like Garner wore true-to-comics blue contacts for the movies. But in the TV show that actor had very dark brown eyes. Always thought the costumes Garner wore were incredible. She's a total bada--
