H.M.O. Collectibles - Capcom's Darkstalkers Felicia (White Edition) 1/4 scale
Photo's taken minutes after the piece had been assembled, under natural daylight.
Felicia arrived yesterday. I was shocked, as I opted for ocean (rather than air) shipping, as the price was $200 lower. ETA 6 weeks (possibly longer)
From H.M.O. to my doorstep was 20 days.
All in all I am super happy with the piece. Paint lines look tight. Using the supplied assembly instructions, the piece went together relatively easy.
I would advise adding the tail before attaching the portrait, as attempting to add the tail with the portrait in position proved to be impossible.
The stacked pillow design base weighs a ton. It's XM Studio's level heavy. Felicia feels light by comparison.
The portraits with their large hair appear to be made from the same light weigh material as used for the recent Sideshow Collectibles Power Girl PF
Felicia's white detachable dress appears to be made from soft rubber complete with zipper on the back.
I can see this remaining in the box.
All 3 portraits look excellent. Switching the portraits out means having to detach the re_attach the two wavy blue pieces.
I am not too sure how many times the blue wavy pieces would survive being detached, re_attached. H.M.O. could have included 3 pairs of wavy blue pieces.
For anyone that's interested to know, Felicia keys into the base via a thick resin peg though which is a meaty metal rod.
There should be no worries with regards to leaning.

If i wanted to be hyper critical..
Felicia's look amazing, as they are not decals. There appear to be made from a clear substance.
By comparison, the 4 cats on the base have paint/decal eye's. It would have look so much better if H.M.O. had added clear eye's to the cats. On the subject of the cat's eye's, the pupil's should be vertical lines.
If you are going with round pupil's (which they did) the black pupil's should be larger.
The position of 4 tassels on the lowest pillow means having to lift the statue vertically.
If you tilt the base while lifting, chances are, a tassel will break off. Be careful
