The amount and details of the base and effects is well-done and balanced.

The sculpts are that good that I've lost interest in starting with Storm Collectibles. Those are too expensive for what they are, and use rubbery plastic.
Not to mention some of the sculpts are extremely bad like they aren't enen trying.

Kitana looks great! I think the eyes could've used a little more life to them, but overall I think it looks awesome. Thanks for posting your pics!

I doubt my collection will ever contain anything by Diamond Select
The reason being, they took over Gentle Giant. As a result of the take over, Honey Trap - Fireball never went up for pre_order

I hope you're not holding Fireball against DST. I believe GG had cancelled Fireball long before DST took over. We didn't buy them out against their will, they were closing their doors. Sales of the Honey Trap line were NOT strong.

The Honey Trap line created quite a buzz. Those that collected the line were holding out for Fireball/Junior, who was delayed and delayed. One or two new characters were teased. Towards the end, there appeared to be lack of promotion. Gentle Giant/Diamond Select could maybe have offered a MTO (made to order) like XM Studios do, and made as many had sold within in a certain time frame. If i recall correctly, Fireball/Junior was re_worked to look even better than the original.

Yeah, I believe Fireball was the last one out of the main line-up that was originally shown. I think that's the reason so many wanted that one to be made.

Correct.
There was also some buzz for some new pieces shown.
