You laugh, but I did pick this one up last week on a whim, and truth be told, I'm rather fond of it now... so there! It pairs up well with Big Barda in scale. Despite what others have said about the line being all over the place, I think that's what made it interesting (with certain exceptions... :::cough::: Brainiac :::cough::: ). They did more provocative, and, yes, more outlandish takes on characters and that's what hooked me in the beginning. Koto's Bishoujo line was always more costume accurate and a bit "cuter', but I think the Ame-Comi line was definitely more original and inventive. Just added a Steampunk Batgirl. The few that I have no interest in are Harley(s), Black Canary (did pick up a White Canary variant earlier in the run), Mera, Poison Ivy, Duella and of course Brainiac. Plus, Koto seems to be getting lamer and more conservative... Squirrel Girl? Really? I'm taking a wait and see attitude on upcoming Joelle Jones pieces, especially Wonder Woman.

I think Koto's hands are tied with regards to Marvel characters now that Disney owns Marvel.

Btw, it seems like you're on a tear buying Ame Comis...you'll be getting Braniac eventually.

When the Artgerm Hawkgirl was first released, my LCS got one that had really sloppy paint. I was scared off of buying it from any retailer. I decided to take a chance again after nbr3bagshotrow and grphyx both said that theirs were okay.

What's cool about the removable wings is that you can display her w/o them. Indeed, it might be a safer choice due to the weak magnets and narrow base.

I have the Hawkgirl on the right and love it. I like seeing the character's face and she is very expressive and confident.

Yup, I saw her listed for an incredible price a while back and snagged it. I like having both because of the masked/unmasked and winged/unwinged options.

Heck, Hawkgirl can even be displayed decapitated.
