XM Studios Batgirl

[tyubu]

I received mine yesterday.

I'm absolutely love this piece. It looks different and very dynamic.

Also details on her armor is awesome.

I also have red eye problem but It's not noticeable once you set it up.

Only issue was the size. Base is huge and she standing quite tall. I managed place her in the Besta by NOT putting all the base pieces. And even managed to place sideshow Batgirl with it.

beautiful photos from everyone!
anyone from Europe already received her? I don't know how they manage orders and I'd like to have estimate about shipping date
thanks

Feeling slightly disappointed the oni portrait is no where near as clean and cool looking as it was in the convention pieces. Even the hair sculpt is so different. Looks like clumps instead of strands of hair and the movement of the hair isnt as dynamic. I was looking forward to that portrait the most. Red eyes just look so bad too.

Thanks for the nice photos
Almost seems like XM got a bit lazy with the hair.
The oni mask and regular mask portraits both had different hair before and it looked better, now they are almost the same. The Oni mask looked way better with the different hair and eye shadow.
Kind of a shame, I expect more from XM not less.
One change I do like from the prototype is that the crotch is black instead of the same color as belt.
Still looking forward to getting the piece but just wish they didn't seemingly put less effort into this statue.

I am a little bit surprised there isn't a lot of feedback about this statue, zero unboxing on Youtube for example...
Anyway, mine is at home. First, incredible strong heavy beautiful box. Second, no breakages.
Awesome sculpt for the base and the suit of Batgirl.
Flawless paint. 4 heads and 5 arms, but the pot head and the smiling one stay in the box, and three arms too.
My favorite head is the oni portrait, which fits perfectly with the samurai theme. The classic mask portrait is ok, but not transcendent.
Very very heavy base, total height with the cape: 65 cms. Depth 40 cms.
Could XM do a better job with their portraits? No doubt, yes. Two portraits are just meh, if we can call the pot head a portrait... I'll probably add a little bit of make up to the oni portrait to match with the proto.
Do I regret my purchase? No, even if the total price is 935 € with shipping....
But if XM wants more of my money, they'll have to blown me away with samurai Harley.
Now, I am waiting for P1 new 52 Bat that I plan to pair with her.

@French Cancan nice- gongrats. I'm still waiting for mine.
Because of your 935€ I'd like to know if you ordered her from XM directly? Thanks.

You are right. I knew that something bothered me with the production pics and now that you have posted these prototype pics it’s obvious.
I can accept lesser quality in paint but this is just unacceptable. I was on the fence of keeping it, now I’m pretty sure to sell it.
Lazy production is something I won’t accept from a 900€ statue.

Maybe the decision was to avoid a break on the very thin hair at the prototype. I would like to hear you guys then.
