Very nice, jedi_don. Congrats. The little extras like the tags and octopus charm are a nice touch. Hope you get the base sorted out with GG.

If you have a chance, would you mind snapping a couple from the side and behind?

Hi Jedi_don, congrats, just out of curiosity,and for a future cabinet, the harpoon is one piece with the gun or can be left aside?

Congrats jedi don! Your pics are outstanding!

I don't see any problem with the paint apps on her portrait in those pics. In fact, they look very close to the prototype to me. This just reinforces what I and others have been saying about how lighting, angle, and lens distortion can have a dramatic affect on how a piece looks in pics.

I agree with Viper! Just wow! This piece is outstanding!

Like the latest photo's. It is an impressive statue, if a little different from the proto. The outfit does not look quite as shiny as the proto, giving a slightly less transparent look.

Agreed. The transparent bodysuit could have been a bit glossier.

Oops. Forgot to say congrats to Jedi. For providing us in hand pics and for getting the piece yourself. Congrats mate!

Thanks. I haven't had time to contact GG yet. For now I did use my Dremel to extend one of the holes. It's not visible once she's mounted. I wonder how pervasive this issue will be.
