I couldn’t bring myself to order this one. To my eyes, her expression seems really close to a Joker grimace, and I just can’t unsee that.

God knows there is enough stuff being released now that it makes sense to pass on something you don't feel overwhelmingly right about.

That said, lighting, viewing angle, distance all serve to exacerbate or mitigate problem areas on something like this.

I know from experience how much a statue's look or impression can be altered when it's placed at, above, or below your eye line.

That's what i'm hinging this purchase on, anyway.

Believe me, I’m not trying to convince anyone. I hope you guys all love how this piece came out. It just didn’t work for me.

After seeing the video, I am passing as well. The expression to me is fine and even though I do think it is a fantastic piece it just is not grabbing me. I think that if I did purchase this statue in a few years I would look at the statue when possibly downsizing and this would be one that I would sell. I figure since I am thinking I would sell it in a few years then that means why spend the money now.

I actually like the statue a lot...except for the puffy sleeves. I posted that pic only bc people keep referencing Joker grimaces.

I can see the points some are making. Mine came today and I am really pleased. I never thought I'd see her in that costume in statue form, it's fantastic!

I did send an email to Debbie asking about the $15 Proof of Purchase card as it wasn't in the box.
