For me her face has a less idealized feminism that makes her look real and believable.
I mean of course her features are idealized but not to the cheescake doll extreme of most female comic art and statues that about 1% of the female population actually possess.

I wasn't referring to her eyebrows but to this below...

For sure but even the sweetest cakes need a pinch of salt so when I'm trying to keep excitement in check it isn't a reflection of previous releases but the uncertain challenges of any single future release.

I'm not doubting Prime1's record one bit but when I look at this, much as with XM's Ivy, I think to myself: "this is so nice but I don't, well NO one has anything this nice in their collection... yet, and there's a reason why."

I've learned, at least for myself but likely others, first impressions of these things are hard to shake.
Attachment is a bane in this hobby. Initial renders and prototypes have oversold many of a statue.
Just cautious optimism.

Cautious optimism is never a bad thing, but just as I recently got into a weird argument around here over my saying a particular Sideshow female piece wouldn't be painted as nicely as the proto (according to my long experience), I know the best can at least be expected from Prime 1. As I said, their protos are painted by the same people who do the production pieces, so you won't be shown a stellar proto that can't be matched.

I'm still in awe over the subtle paint apps on my Miller Bats, and I've seen in person how beautiful their Arkham Knight Harley is. So yeah, I'm as cautiously optimistic about them as I'm cautiously pessimistic about the likes of Sideshow. :-)
