Batgirl is ok but it seems too close of a design to Arkham Knight version. Plus her back is exposed and tactically that is a big no no for someone in the bat family.
Ivy and Catwoman look very bored which doesn't fit their personalities IMO, plus I wouldn't want to see females in my collection with bored looks on their faces. I know they have alternate portraits but I'm not a big fan of those either. Also I felt like they missed a big opportunity with Selina's bike to throw in a more exciting anime inspired design. And the geisha look for Ivy doesn't work for me either. There's nothing ugly about them but at the same time I need more in order to invest in a line that doesn't use classic designs.
I did see Deathstroke and maybe it'll look better printed out and painted but I'm not feeling it. And again, I'm not saying these are crap or garbage, I was just hoping for more in order to buy into that line.

I'll probably never collect xm statues, but that batgirl they have coming is my favourite piece I've seen from them. If I was gonna get one xm statue, that would be it. I also like the rest if the line except for maybe the ivy. that batgirl though. Stunning.

HAHA, I'm going to get it but I don't need to PO. I have zero interest in the exclusive portrait.

This entire collection is fun and unique.. has me very curious if they'll extend this style or not...
Much congrats to the SS team for releasing Poison Ivy, lots of respect to teams willing to take creative risks instead of always playing it safe...

With all the debate regarding masculinity on this statue I find it ironic that it was posted up the same time as RuPaul, right next to each other even.

The RuPaul maquette has a more feminine shape than the Ivy PF does
