I wonder if the photos that Koto provided are Photoshops of the original proto. It still has the generic clear/colorless base rather than the oval with Batwoman's name.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

That looks like they just put a grey layer over the original in PS. I like the V1 better.

I think this one has metallic accents, right? The reds?
My figure is glossy but not 'metallic' shiny.

I get that some won't like it but it's kinda like the Spider-Woman variant they did. While the metallics aren't true to the costume but it pops on shelf.

I honestly can't too much of a difference in the metallic paint to the original, though. At least from pictures.
Her pale looks is fine when masked. But unmasked, it looks unfinished though (or dead).

I can attest that shiny is better. I waste so many hours looking for shiny Pokemon.

Mine shipped today as well! I'd be surprised if it arrives in 2 weeks though!

My custom fees for this shipment are going to sting

Mary is here from Japan and added to my Bishoujo collection! very happy with this piece and appreciate Kotobukiya taking on a character that often gets overlooked.
