I'm going to say without hesistation - that Tweeterhead has become my most favorite statue company. I just get such happiness when I open these statues because I have had no issues with paint or breakage. I get breaks happen, but the paint is Proto level each time.
Starfire is no exception to this. Beautiful from head to toe and IMO just exactly like we ordered - proto level. The purple shiny paint is so pretty and I love its contrast against her skin. Really IMO puts Sideshow's offering to shame in the coloring department. Her hair is beautiful and doesn't feel delicate or heavy. A nice balance. The green of her eyes - wonderfully done where they are bright green, but you still see her iris.
Now when assembling, I found that the easiest way to put the peg into the base is this - stand the base normally and line up the peg with the hole. Once that is done - tilt the base to the right side (really tilt it) and you will and use you hand to press the side of her leg to ease the peg into the hole. It makes it a far less awkward angle than trying to look over the piece and wiggle the peg in.
As for those who wanted pics -- here you go. Sorry, they are from my iPhone 8+. Not the greatest, but it does show the scale next to TH Catwoman. That shelf is so full of pretty colors. Hell, the whole case is because my She-Ra statues are on top of there
Sorry for some of the pics flipping. I'm never sure why it does that. I just don't have time to fix the issue because I've got to run to the gym!
