Okay I have now seen this in person and I find a couple of things which would prevent me from buying it.

1) The position of the arm holding the axe. It just looks awkward and un-natural.

2) The cape looks bad. I would remove it immediately.

Also the scale looks off. It was in a display cabinet next to the Sideshow Thor and looks tiny next to it.

Thankfully the sculpt is way better then my skills in inserting the pics,

Thanks man, I got #974/1400. Honestly though guys it didn't bother me at all that he used my pics and I don't notice any of the things he pointed out at all, but thanks Black Cat and Samuel for the kind words. I absolutely love my Wonder Woman and encourage anyone else on the fence to get her, she's a beauty.

True, the things he pointed out were just his opinion, I don't see any problem with any of those issues. And I'm thoroughly impressed with the statue. Seeing the stock photos I wasn't too sure what to expect, but now having the piece in hand it is beyond my expectations. I'm glad they didn't put the blue in her hair like the prototype pics, yet instead opted to apply a duller paint in the creases between her tufts of hair yet a shiny coat on the top lairs. The glossy look to the boots looks outstanding and the armor and shield have fantastic paint application, which gives it that metallic look without being to shiny.

True, I've got Batman, Thor, Captain America, Wonder Woman, Hulk, and Thing standing near each other and the only ones that don't look tiny next to Thor are Hulk and Thing. Plus, he's standing on top of a 10" base, though his lower foot is on a 5" elevation (it's still 5" higher than everyone else). WW looks fine next to Batman and Cap and those 2 are tall by mere normal human standards to begin with.
