Aaand here it is.

What a beautiful statue. I hope they hurry up with that Harley reveal.

Thanks. Those are actually crappy, blurry cellphone pics, but I just happened to have some nice natural lighting on the last few shots. : )

Don't worry about my cat - he's not prone to knocking things over. And besides, those venus flytraps are firmly in place!

I did fear a bit for the middle chair-leaf thingy in the back, though, which is magnetized, but it wasn't within his immediate reach.

Has TH been regularly sending it's statues out in double burst (layer) cardboard boxes, using corner foam pieces so that the art box floats inside?

I'd lost the loving feeling for this one some months back and would have been just fine if it took another six months to get here.
Cramped for space lately and somewhat regretting ordering it.

Seeing how compact the box was, then opening it and seeing how high quality the shipper was (not a small expense for an outfit the size of TH, and with this small an ES), and then further seeing how well utilized the space was when I finally cracked the styro case open...honestly impressed me almost as much as the actual statue.

Everyone's pics have been great, but if anything it looked even better, and more attractive, to me in hand.

I left it mostly packed as shipped for now since I won't be displaying it for a couple months yet.
The only area that could bug me at this point would be how much space, if any, is between the plant chin and Ivy's left hand.
Shoo's sample above looks ideal, but I've seen other samples with a lot of negative space there which just about kills that attitude. I figure a heat gun on the vine might be able to massage it more into place, but I'm just as likely to screw it up if I have to resort to it.
I'm hoping I won't have to.


Otherwise...there is a pretty huge "Wow!" factor with this. Especially for a 1/6 scale of a character with a smaller stature.

Concept was brilliant and execution was A+
Bravo, TH!

Did anybody who ordered this directly from Tweeterhead have any success in getting a replacement if needed?

She?s not broken. Broken I could understand because life happens in shipping - IMO mine is sadder - there is green paint drips on her cheek below her eye and two dots. One on her nose and one on her neck. When a character?s skin is pale and flawless this is crushing. She clearly made it past QC bc I?m sure they just spot check?hoping the warehouse has another body to give me because this issue jusy doesnt ?rub off? with an eraser.

It?s killing me because I have loved this statue from the beginning and in hand it?s a stunner. Just as fantastic as I hoped it would be. But I unwrapped her and the first thing I saw were the drips on her face, I can?t lie that I was so damn sad. Like why NOW did I have to get the dud?! I had flawless Starfire and Catwoman, but my beloved Ivy comes with issues?! Ugh.
