I was wondering how everyone felt about cost and quality and if the premium format/maquette lines from sideshow are a good place to start to get the most out of my money. I definitely do want 1/4 scale, and I want to make sure I’m diving in on a line that has consistent paint applications and quality work (considering how expensive these things are).
The statue I saw in person that really motivated me to get started is the newer cat woman premium format from sideshow. That thing looks so cool and would probably be my first statue purchase.
Anyways, was wondering if I could confidently purchase this line of statues, and see if anyone had any other suggestions.
Thanks in advance everyone!

Hello, welcome to the hobby and the boards.
You're already a step ahead as you have an idea of the hobby from collecting Hot Toys. Do the same with statues- research and ask questions.
You're also ahead of the curve with seeing the piece you want in person. You liked what you saw, so if you're okay with the price and the dimensions fit your display, pull the trigger. If you have any doubts at all, think about it a bit more. Only jump in if you're 100% sure.
What other characters and/or lines are you considering? What do you want your display to look like and what's your end goal?
