Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Thanks for the pictures.

Other than a little too much eye-shadow, I think Supergirl turned out great. Especially the colors on it.

The attachment is really sturdy and firm, isn't loose or wobbly. Still I wouldn't advise moving this with the attachment on.

One of the things I noticed when assembling this was that the statue itself felt lighter compared to other SS statues I have. It doesn't feel like there any tension or stress with the attachment holding the statue.

I'm almost tempted to say that this shouldn't have any leaning issues (knock on wood) but I won't.

The short hair is still my favorite. But if you compare both portraits, the irises of the EX are smaller than those of the regular. They can't even use the same decals... As a result, I prefer the eyes of the regular. Too much white in the eyes of the other one for my taste.
A nice statue though.
The body looks like probably millions of women on the planet.

That's going to depend on how well you can insert the cape and the portrait at the same time.

The video makes it look easy to attach but I had to fumble around with it a few times.

One thing I would highly advise when trying to put the cape on either portrait is to trying doing it over something really soft--like a pillow or a couple of towels

You need both hands to align the tips of the cape with the grooves on the portraits and your fingers to hold them both in place until you're ready to put them on the statue. Depending on how you placed your fingers, it could loosen any firm grip you have and cause you to drop the portrait. This almost happened to me a couple of times but luckily I caught it in time.

Looking at the pictures (no offense Harbinger) only reaffirms how much I dislike this statue. The long spindly arms and the long neck and the stupid bird on her finger (she's not snow white), drives me bananas. This worked great as a piece of artwork, not in 3D form to me. Someday someone will capture a decent image of supergirl in statue from

I mean, I like my original PF and excited for this one too.

I will say Prime 1 1:3 looks to be ultimate piece of the character for me.

There's several small scale of her that I think have been great (I love my Turner and Artgerm recent ones). The one pictured above is excellent.

Definitely a matter of preference. Even the AH! covergirls piece has issues for me, but I love that one.

Love Joelle but this one visually for me isn't right either.

Of the smaller versions I'll say the Gotham City Garage interpretation is my favorite in my collection.

Back now to your regularly scheduled discussion.

Prime is my favorite as well. I can't afford it and have no place for a 1:3 scale piece, but man, I really want that one!
