Got mine in as well. I am glad that her face turned out nice. The base looks good and the whole statue has a nice heft to it. For the price she is a good deal considering the scale and quality. She towers over a lot of my anime statues, many of which are more expensive than her. That being said her paint apps aren't as good. Gun looks awesome and her bodysuit has a nice shine and smoothness to it.

While the face turned out great and there are some nice paint apps to certain parts, on closer inspection I'm a little disappointed in some areas. Specifically, the exposed chest does not look good. The panel lining separating her suit from her chest looks very unprofessional, as though they did not let it dry before handling it. It is somewhat fading and is a light grey at some parts and a pronounced black in others. It looks to have been wiped slightly in parts too. To be honest I notice it even afar as it just doesn't look good. It looks like something you would do on a model kit, not a statue. I'm actually convinced they used an ink pen to do it, or maybe a mechanical pencil. There's also some blemishes and scuff marks around her breasts. Some nicks here and there too. It just seems like they started handling her while the paint was still drying. Nothing major, but it is there.

I'm a little worried about Dva. For Widowmaker the paint apps and overall QC are more than satisfactory at this price and size. For Dva however I would say this same level of paint application would be unacceptable. She is way too expensive for something like that.

Yeah I noticed that too. I'd imagine it's just the differences in camera and lighting. It will be interesting to see pics from others to compare.

Thanks for the pics and for your review. I'm looking forward to getting mine next week.

She showed up this morning and got my shipping notice and tracking number later in the evening. FedEx bending the rules of time and space lol.

Anyways, a couple of blemishes on the panel lining on her top like Gyro but nothing major at all, and there's a tiny little spot or two on her back if I squint my eyes and look real hard.

Nothing that would be a deal breaker though, and really nothing that bugs me much at all. Overall she's absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to see who comes next in the line.
