Same thing happened to me, I got one with some glue on the face and another with some glue in the hair. I kept the glue hair one as it didn't bother me too bad though, didn't have the foot issue with either.

Well I stand thoroughly corrected. The Cho Wonder Woman is absolutely fantastic!

Don't own any pieces from the designer series. How do they scale with other 1/6 lines?

They are slightly smaller than TH 1/6.

And apparently slightly bigger than Koto....Soooo I'm confused about what scale even really means other than "the characters themselves are somewhere around a foot tall"?

Like are any of these companies actually going "okay, Superman's 6'3" and Barry's 5"11" so that means Flash needs to be 11.8" tall and Clark needs to be 12.5" tall"?

It does happen. After I measured the Joelle Jones Black Canary, I found out that her "official" height is 5'7". The statue is actually scaled properly. https://dccomicsstatues.blogspot.com...rls-black.html
