Easy day one pre-order for me. In fact, I will likely wind up buying 2 of these as my son has become an absolute die hard Jane Foster Thor fan since Marvel first introduced her. I have already purchased the Jane Foster Thor Fine Art Print for him so it would be great to be able to give him the statue as well as that would give him his very first statue/print pairing. He doesnt know it yet, but we also have the 4 TMNT's coming for him this year as well so this will be a great year for his personal collection.
And I actually really like the female Thor idea as well and I persnally love the design of the character. So I will definitely be buying one of these for my collection as well.

Agreed. Its a real shame they didn't go that route. I continue to hope that Sideshow will adopt a policy to include 2nd portraits in all PF statues in the future.

I agree with this as well. There is no doubt its an absolutely beautiful statue, but it just doesnt fit the character at all IMO. If you were buying it as some random barbian chick to stick next to some conan piece then I could perfectly understand someone buying it, or if they just love the look of barbian women in general. But as a Jane Foster Thor? I just don't see it at all. No resemblance whatsoever.
IMO, this statue is as bad as Sideshow's Gal Gadot Wonder Woman in that regard. The likeness just isn't there at all. It just looks nothing like any of the versions I have seen of Jane Foster Thor. Both are nice statues, but both look nothing like the character they were supposed to be designed after. As long as you can look past that, both are nice statues.
