Yeah. After posting I thought a little while longer and that was the only image, out the thousand+ that I've seen of her, that prominently came to mind. It's been used on book jackets and CD album covers and posters.
Not my favorite BB image, but probably the one most widely seen.

I could envision a nice side kneeling posture for the lower body for it, but I doubt I would be tempted. Maybe if it was uncannily realistic and the likeness 100%, but I don't think I expect that degree of success any longer outside of silicone and rooted hair statues.

Those things have upended the playing field as far as I'm concerned. Any hard media statue that is modeled after a recognizable personality is working from a immediate disadvantage, and hits the ceiling of it's potential much quicker (IMO).

How can they be the exclusive North American distributor when Sideshow also carries Blitzway?

The press release was dated April 2020. I don’t see recent Blitzway products like Elvis and Hendrix on Sideshow’s website. So I have to assume that Sideshow no longer distributes Blitzway products going forward.

Well, could Marilyn be only available on the Blitzway's site?
My EU retailer has all their recent stuff, Astro, Elvis, Hendrix, but no Marilyn.
