Don't forget this line is based on Adam Hughes art, which is very much pin-up inspired. Though I also wish for a definitive DC bust line, I really like this series. It is something different and the sculpts look incredible...

It is based on an Adam Hughes design and, while I've not seen the design sketch, it is a very much in Hughes' style. Fans of Hughes will appreciate and enjoy it, fans of Supergirl, maybe not so much. I like it myself and will defiinitely be picking it up.

Check out some of Hughes' pin up or commission work & you'll notice the style. Catwoman, putting the diamond down her top, Hawkgirl, with her mask on top of her head, are very much in keeping with Hughes' style. It separates his pin ups from the normal stock poses that other artists do.

looks nice, but not enough to make me want to buy it or the others that came out before her.

I can't wait to get the whole line! DC did take a chance and I think it's working so far! I love it!

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.

I usually go for the versions I'm most familiar with (my childhood)...but I like this one. It's got a certain quality not usually found in busts. The skirt doesn't stand out enough from the base but I will probably get this. All the Hughes pieces are pretty good, but I am passing on the Hawkgirl.

Nice bust. Looks more like Superwoman than Supergirl to me. Nonetheless, it will probably join the collection. I guess when these start coming out, we'll see.

Hubba - hubba!

Boy, that's gonna be a nice one!

I wish DCD would quit showing pics and start gettin' 'em out there!

Hope there is a Zatanna in the works!
