She has a really cute face. Price knocks me out of it though.

To me, that's a lot to ask for a new company with fairly new characters.
And even at the $1K price, they are charging PayPal fees on top. At the 50 units they are not getting the economies of scale.

Just look at the leg which is in 2 parts, it's really not pretty to look at.
Good call, I did not noticed that.
Lower legs are not resin/polystone atm, but plain pvc cast shells (or similar) and glued together. Same as the base.
To be interesting at all, the whole statue should be resin/polystone with good paint application.

Aren't those just lines added for detail? That would be a REALLY weird way to make (print) a prototype... making separate halves like a plastic model kit, no? And certainly wouldn't be how they mold/cast the production pieces.

For me, the groove does not make the leg aesthetic. I prefer to have smooth legs without a groove. You would have to ask the manufacturer.

I understand, I wasn't trying to tell you whether you are right or wrong for disliking the lines I was simply pointing out that they are a design choice, and not just an unavoidable artifact of assembly. Here's the printed version, BTW.

I probably would have gotten this if they did a New 52 Harley using this basic design. I don't need some random KitKat woman for $1K + shipping from China.

Thank you SDguy for printed model.
In any case, the facial expression is successful and her sexy outfit makes her very elegant.

Man look at the texture on her skin! I'd pay 1K for that quality just to still have it professionally painted. Thanks so much SD!
