I hope they make a non-graphic color version.

All hovering characters in the Designer Series line have them though, so she won't look out of place. The color scheme, OTOH, isn't really the norm for the line (closest being a couple "cell shaded" ones).

These are nice sculpts with simple bases and reasonable prices. I hope these sell well and we get more Batvillains.

I guess I should've taken some pics before I boxed it back up - I did get the Dan Mora Batman statue. I did think they did a good job of capturing Mora's art, but IMO calling it 1/6 scale was a bit generous.

I didn't know what to expect from the rope - which the design seems to be based around - but, I guess I was hoping it would've been one of those where there was some attempt to have it in position. Getting that rope to look like the pics seems like quite the challenge. Packaged, it's just folded up and getting it to look like... something.... is up to the customer. Ok, fine - I've dealt with wired capes and Wonder Woman's lasso. I considered just not bothering with it since it doesn't look BAD without it, even though the pose really seems to want it.

The bronze coloring on the rope flakes off pretty much by touching it. I had a couple of black sections pretty quickly. I was already on the borderline as far as keeping it goes and that pretty much pushed me over to not.

I somehow managed to never run into that problem with the Sideshow Wonder Woman PF with the lasso over her head that I think I recall others complaining about, so I guess I'd rather have had luck with that one than this one.

Yeah. fair point. Love the action pose. But not the paint scheme.

Agree, not a fan of the paint scheme, either. It works as highlighting for her costume for the comic book art but not in 3D rendering.
