Also for the first 1/4 I checked; Batman The Dark Knight Trilogy Quarter Scale Series 1/4 Action Figure by Hot Toys UPS Standard (Fee ?16.12) UPS Saver (Fee ?54.99)

and even a 1/6th scale; Galadriel of the White Council 1/6 Scale Staue by Weta UPS Standard (Fee ?18.50) UPS Saver (Fee ?67.27)

That's good to know. I was just going off of the banner regarding shipping on their homepage.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

The body looks slightly cartoony to me, almost like a J Scott Campbell version of her. The leather didn’t get right up in her butt like that, and the breasts are accentuated as well. I don’t think that will stop a single person from ordering it, it’s just something I noticed. Wedgie or not, I still think I’d need to see a finished sculpt over a render before ordering. The Tweeterhead one is hard to beat.

I like the slight 'liberties' taken with the body. Actually prefer the body the way it is in the render rather than anything slimmer. #prowedgie

I thought Darkside was based in Cyprus... (?)

I haven't ever bought from them (direct, nor US-based stores). I've been watched their Ada, really really really want to see how their prototypes actually turn out but I've yet to see a release.

This WIP is quite impressive so far!

Interest is definitely piqued.....

And agree completely about her figure.

I would definetley prefer screen accurate, as that's what these are meant to be representing; but will definetley be picking this up if the finish is better than their previous prototypes (which have been a bit rough around the edges). I don't want to have to pay for a repaint.

I am very interested in watching this progress. This depiction was very influential in my life, so I could be persuaded into getting yet another Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman.

So far, so good. There's still some ways to go, but I'm digging the foundation and direction this piece is going.
