Totally agree?she?s just a perfect representation of Ivy. For all of you thinking of getting her regular version from SSC, I hope she goes on a daily deal so you can get an awesome statute at a great price!

From all your photos she looks really good and I agree on the paint app, it's fiiting for a video game character. I doubt this will go on sale here in Germany, but you never know. Faye Valentine did, but I passed on her. Even a 30% discount on SSC will unfortunately be "useless" due to the shipping costs for 1/4 stuff (plus taxes and custom fees).

Wow?even a 30% discount is negated by taxes and fees?that?s horrid! I felt a bit of that when I had PCS Chun Li shipped to Canada (tail end of the pandemic border lockdown); she was technically $0 as I used RPs and thought only the shipping would be a bit higher even though I?m close to the border. They dinged me at 100% retail value for taxes and customs so I?m never doing that again!

Unfortunately, yes. I've had multiple in-stock 1/4 pieces in my cart already and shipping for those is always in the 120-200 range. Put roughly 20% taxes and custom fees on top and the discount is gone^^

Just got mine yesterday. They had the whip sword folded in such a way that the metal bits (the parts that aren't supposed to bend) were warped and curved. I had to use a heat gun on them and bend them straight.
Other than that (and a gem that apparently didn't have any glue on it) I really like this piece. I paired it with my other battle babes, looks great! ^.^

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

She's well worth it for that price especially. I noticed she didn't seem to sell very well in general. I wonder if this line is going to go dormant for the time being.

Still have about 100 RPs to use and if I didn?t have her already, it would have cost less than half what I paid; however, I would still take the definitive as the base and whip are just too iconic!!! Hard to believe this 30% discount takes the price back down to over a decade ago when PF?s were much simpler with sloppy, bleeding paint apps. It?s a sign of the times that we are all forced to cut back especially on wants. Unfortunately, this means a lot of products will never see the light of day when the weak demand exposes a line?s risks.
