1. It's something alot of x-men fans have been asking for

and

2. They had a special video of the entire diorama ready to go.

Again Batgirl looks good, but with so many DC collectors begging for a Riddler her reveal on the very last day feels anti-climatic.

Just a matter of perspective really. Fastball Special was one of the low points of this event for me . . my first reaction to it was one of complete indifference whereas with Batgirl I was immediately intrigued, seeing as how I don't own a statue of her yet. Worked for me. But then again if it had been my call for a Day 12 banger, there would have been a flood of MOTU reveals or the latest from JSC. Oh well to each their own . .

I think it?s primarily due to there being a greater proportion of classicists here than on the Facebook groups.

Every third post here when a new piece is revealed is usually along the lines that they would prefer a more classic take than a modernised one, the latter usually having a more armour look, more panel lines, dropping of the superhero trunks etc.

I feel today's reveal was anticlimactic though it looks fantastic. The Fastball Special intrigues me, but ultimately may pass on it, TBD. All in all, I may not get a single item from this event and yet, I loved it and glad it was back. I enjoy this hobby, through all of our experiences in it, not just my purchases. There was a lot of excitement, anticipation and interaction because of it and how and what they revealed and offered. Great job SS

I think she looks great and if I either wished to have multiple 1:4 Batgirl statues or didn't already have one I'd be very excited for this.

Now, can be get Bel to take on a new DC Heroine?

Well said, totally agree, 12 Days came back with a vengeance. Hopefully it bodes well for the rest of the year.

Great 12 Days although I only may order two pieces...Batgirl and (maybe) Constantine.

Pretty happy with the possibilities this year, I will definitely need to be saving up.

If the full reveals match the hype, it will be a good collecting year.

I did a poll in my Facebook group asking "What is your favorite 12 Days reveal?"

So far, 122 have responded.

First place went to Batgirl with 35%.
Second place went to Constantine with 12%.
Third place went to Fastball Special with 10%.
