And thank you for your review

Thanks. No problem (to the mini review)
I would like to add (to the mini review) the white on Power Girl's outfit has much blue shading, which looks very good!

As with most new pieces, i tend to have the piece on display in a temporary location, near the laptop where i sit and chill out..
I cannot stop looking at Power Girl..
The red belt has got me thinking quite a bit as to it's purpose, and why it sits low down rather than around Power Girl's waistline?
When it comes to cloud effect bases, this just might be the best one by any company to date.
The mini sculpted cape works really well. Sideshow should look into dropping fabric capes from all future pieces.

Power Girl PF EX - Sideshow Collectibles

Power Girl arrived today! no.191/750 She looks very good

The white with blue shading cloud base design works well.
The white leotard, blue gloves, blue boots, and a red belt look good.
The gold belt buckle and cape pin could use more shine.
Skin tone on legs and upper body looks good.
No issues with attaching Power Girl to the base or attaching the red cape to Power Girl

The EX portrait looks good, her right eye is very slightly off.
The Reg portrait I am less sold on. Mine has slightly inward pointing eye's resulting in an oriental look. The paint on the teeth looks slightly transparent, which is disappointing. I will display my Power Girl with the EX portrait.
Both Reg and EX portraits feature great looking hair sculpt and paint. Both portraits are light in weight compared to other Sideshow Collectibles PF portraits in my collection.

I have read comments that complain about the portrait skin tone looking different to the rest of the statue (legs etc). The portrait skin paint looks brighter, which looks fine to me. Maybe Power Girl while powering through the clouds catching different levels of sunrays ;D

..and yes, I am aware the photo implies that the Reg portrait fails to fit correctly into the body. I tried again, and the Reg portrait fits correctly

i think the first PG also has slightly different paint tones on the face and legs...you can clearly see the factory face paint has a more pasty white tone than the more tan legs....look below

Difficult to tell in those pictures.
Maybe someone who owns the piece can confirm deny if the first Power Girl from Sideshow feature different paint tones on the portrait to the legs.

Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons 1/4 scale by Prime 1 Studio & Blitzway

Arrived today. I had this on pre_order with Sideshow Collectibles some ago then cancelled, as shipping and import would have obliterated my wallet.
I spotted one for sale on ebay *new* located in the UK for an acceptable price.

Daenerys Targaryen ships in 3 large boxes..
Box 1 of 3 - Contains the base + large rear post with gold circular piece.
Box 2 of 3 - Contains the 3 dragons
Box 3 of 3 - Contains Daenerys and 3 pieces of furniture.

Daenerys Targaryen the centre of the piece looks excellent!
Her neck seam is not so excellent. It is not a big issue..
Daenerys paint app looks great. Really great.

K. A. Kim did good with the portrait.
The factory did good with the paint app. Her eye's look sensational..

The large seat on which Daenerys sits looks good, and is covered in a soft?ish material, which works well.

The 3 dragon?s Dragon, Rhaegal, and Viserion all looks great, if a little on the plastic side.

The 2 pieces of furniture each with 4 legs do the job.

Once I find a permanent place to display Daenerys, I will put more effort into arranging her fabric outfit, and look into covering her neck seam with the necklace better.

All in all, I am a super happy collector, able to add this piece to my collection, which admittedly fails to fit with any other piece in my collection.

Congrats! I would say the likeness isn't 100%, but regardless, it's a beautiful face sculpt. The dragons looks great, and I like their arrangement.

Looks really good. Congrats!
