Some important nitpicks that really hurt the piece to me

1. Why the flipping heck is she looking up?! She is almost 10ft tall. The whole point of her is to be in a domineering role looking down on you. I don’t give a rip about “statue and displaying on a shelf blah blah”

2. Looks like the PC hammer struck again. Where’s the cleavage from the game? I mean it’s somewhat there but looks neutered to ground. Those things should be on the verge of busting out like how the Victorian era females tried to do.

Damnit. I don’t know now. I’m kind of peeved here because otherwise it’s exactly what I was looking for: Simple .. and curves are shining through nicely

Another ridiculous pricing model. Easy pass, and that's before I start nit picking on quality details.

I was thinking the same, but between my old/failing eyesight and technological advances some sculpts & paints have captured this look fully sculpted.

At her height, she is pretty much a 1/3 piece. 35 inches tall. So it's kinda in-line with current prices of other pieces.

Although I understand it, the bottom line is still a no from me.

Good point. The head up pose seems very familiar to me... maybe it was used in a lot of the promotional material? But yeah, she should be looking downward... or at least straight ahead.

Maybe it's like Prime 1 and the Grim Knight... they can't show promotional images with the guns, but they are there for the buyer to display within their own collection.

The dress is cloth, so a collector could easily adjust it to show her cleavage as originally intended.

We still have that upcoming Prime 1 version. Maybe that one will be the one we've been waiting for?

I think she was shown looking up at Ethan when he was on the hooks...if I remember correctly.

P1 announced her as an upcoming figure in 1/4 scale, so there's always another option.

In the FB Prime 1 Studio Collectors Group, admin Kelvin Loke took collector questions for the P1 art director to answer. (Link if you want to see all of the answers)

But the Lady D part:
Quote:
Will there be a Resident Evil 8 Dimitrescu in 1:3 or 1:4?
YES! 1/4
And in the comments, admin Decorea White said:
Quote:
Lady Dimitrescu is really, really exciting news.
