I like the pose. The piece lacks one thing, the celebrity factor, a factor that made the Pfeiffer Cat Woman have that extra something. I own the Pfeiffer Cat Woman and have on pre_order Catwoman TDKR 1/3 by Prime 1. Do i need a 3rd Cat Woman?
..Elektra, yes, a 3rd Cat Woman, i don't think so



Cat Woman Premium Format(TM) Figure 1/4 Sideshow Collectibles


Cat Woman TDKR 1/3 Prime 1

It gives merit to the critique/complaint in lieu of just complaining to complain. But alas complaining or problem solving is moot because the company could care less.

Yes, you're right, Sideshow could care less.

But, I wasn't complaining to complain. I specifically started my comment with a suggestion of a switch out arm. Just because I did not specifically state "with a coiled whip" doesn't make it any less of a suggestion.

At this point, I'm done explaining myself to you. You're obviously looking to pick a fight. Again, have a nice day.

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I feel like the people who complain about sideshow's artistic decisions are only a very small percentage of collectors. For every forum member that wants changes made, there are likely hundreds that see no issues at all.

We kind of live in a bubble here on the forum and as it is with most things, the people who dislike something seem to be the most outspoken on it. If sideshow started making tweaks with every little aspect of a statue that people have issues with they'd never get anything done. They would be opening a huge can of worms if they started taking advice from the forum or Facebook groups. As we all know, you can never please everyone. I think sideshow is best off just continuing with what they're doing. Seems to be working for them.

Sorry, but it seems a lot of collectors disagree with some Sideshow's choices of portraits.

"Seems" is right. We're in a bubble as I just said.

I have quite a few friends who collect sideshow statues and aren't members of this forum and don't contribute to fb groups. I don't think I've ever heard any of them say a bad thing about sideshow. One of them has the largest collection I've ever seen and in all of their eyes, everything sideshow does is gold. What I'm trying to say is there are a ton of collectors out there who are more than content with everything sideshow is doing and simply aren't as critical as a lot of us are.

And what is wrong with just letting people like what they like and dislike what they dislike?

People expressing their thoughts doesn't stop at statues. People do the same thing on all social media platforms, including other forums dedicated to movies, sports, video games, literature, comic books, etc.

I'm a member of a forum dedicated to Final Fantasy XIV. Do you think everyone on that forum just high fives each other all day about how amazing Square Enix is? No, they share their loves and dislikes of the game in the exact same manner as people do here with statues.

I feel that way as a newbie on here. I am way easier on pieces than what I read here, but that's fine. People can have their views and I can enjoy what I collect.

I'm assuming that's directed at me and I don't have an issue with the forum. I think it's great we're all passionate about this hobby. You might have misunderstood what my comments are regarding. I was directing it at the comments about sideshow not listening to its customers. People always make that comment here as if we are the only customers they have. Its unrealistic to expect sideshow to change certain aspects of a statue because a few people on a this forum don't like it. That's all I'm getting at. I just disagree with the people who say "sideshow is terrible because they don't make the changes I want".

Ah ok. Then, yes I thought you were directing that at me.

But, I have never expected Sideshow to listen to anything I say. Doesn't stop me from being passionate about what I like and what I don't.
