Don't have too. There are so many statues being released these days, all you have to do is kick back and wait for the ones you like and pass on the ones you don't like.

But these don't bother me.... especially since they have the "look" for the series, and show the art.

I actually find the name plates in this series even more bothersome than most as the name plates are so big and so visible. With some statues, they make the name plate so it kind of blends into the base a bit. With these, you have a flat base with nothing on it and then a big name plate right out in front. And it would have been so easy to make it so they were removable. I will admit that having the art is a nice touch. It makes them a bit more attractive than your average name plate.

In all honesty, I am really not a big fan of this series anyways. Louis Lane is really the only one I really care for. So its really not a big loss for me as its unlikely I would have purchased any of them anyways.

Wow. This series keeps surprising me (in a great way) with its direction and character choices. I would've expected it to run out of steam 5-7 characters ago. I never bought into it (had too much on my plate already) but I think Bombshell fans must be ecstatic.

this Raven to me is the least bombshell-ish of them all.

As an og Bombshell fan, it is nice, and nicer that they've taken time to do Cheetah, Killer Frost, and Bumblebee who haven't had any statues at all in memory.

Theres just something a bit off about Bumblebee to me. #1 being the most dynamic of them all (period) this jump is really... awkward? And her face looks to be more struggling than cheerful. But a cheerleader is different and I like that

I'm a huge Catwoman fan, but there is nothing "bombshells" about her IMO. At this point the line is more just retro than bombshells, which is OK with me.

$99.99 at BBTS.

I love how they are "levitating" Raven on her cape, that's the way to do it. Unlike the Bumblebee one. I hate when you see the rod holding the characters up. Whether it be clear or not, it's not to my taste at all. I've passed up many-a-sculpt due to that.

I'm also unfamiliar with Bumblebee as a character. I'm going to have to look her up.

Sometimes there is no other option but to have a rod. Personally, the Jock Batman B&W is amongst my faves & that has a pole

I do think a clear rod is better though....

I do understand some poses necessitate it, they would't be possible otherwise, but I'm just not a fan. Personal preference is all.

That is true, but they still don't win me over. Like the Black Cat Bishoujo. That one kills me.

I'd much rather they try to integrate the support structure into the overall design rather than just stick'em on rod. (Eh, I'm too lazy to reword that.)
