Personally, I'd want fully sculpted. Can't trust that catsuit any other way.
Likewise!

1/4 scale was a weird choice, 1/5 scale would have made a lot more sense and open the possibility to completing at least 3 characters and display well with other JSC lines

The main issue for me is that I don’t feel they captured JSC’s art style in 3D form. Especially the face. Compare it against the art it’s based on and it’s clearly off.

I agree 1/5 would have been better and I may have bit. I know that won't sound good to the 1/4 of fail guys but I just wasn't ready to pay that price and devote that much space. If it had been a smaller scale with a smaller foot print and the other ladies done with interlocking bases I would have bought her.

Hell I still may if the price is right down the line

This. I'm one of the few who are familiar with the comic, and would have bought it had it looked anything like JSC's art.

It was born to fail.

I think the piece looks fine, and I think 1/4 is also fine. I didn't buy this piece simply because this isn't part of a complete set.

I understand the business side of things and not wanting to take risks, but come on; there are some obvious cases where you either complete the line or don't bother at all, and this is one of those cases.

It's really too bad, because I've wanted to add this trio to my collection for years. Whatever complaints people have about this piece, I guarantee this would be sold out if Natalia and Sydney were also shown.

The $100 off plus free shipping got me to bite. Figure I’ll pair her with my Baroness from another abandoned line. Actually think they will play off each other pretty nicely.

Same here. I couldn't resist the $100 off + free shipping. The face isn't quite JSC, the eyes are too small and it's a bit too angular, but the Body looks Great & I like the exclusive art plates (got one for Tinkerbell too) so at that price, I'm in!

Totally agree. It's like almost a JSC Emma again.
