Anything form fitting is better fully sculpted imo. It'll also probably stand the test of time better, if I remember right some of SS's older "leather" like material hasn't held up too well.

IMO, sculpted works best for figure hugging costumes. Every time I see an MM piece with a tight fitting costume I think of how much better it would look fully sculpted.

Not a fan of pieces which have both MM and sculpted clothing. PCS have done a great job with all MM pieces in the past, but I think this piece would look even better with a sculpted flowing cape.

I understand those that want full MM to keep with the rest of the MM line. Just think this piece lends itself better to being fully sculpted.

Agreed, which is why I think this should have been in the fully sculpted Ultra line. Why release a mixed media statue with no mixed media?

But it does have mixed media. A cape. Same as SS Batgirl and Powergirl, and others

I think the pose of this piece prevented it from being on an Ultra line base, but no reason it couldn't be the first of a new fully sculpted "classic" line.

Might be asking too much, but would be nice to have a choice of sculpted and material capes. Don't think anyone has done this before.

IMO, all of those SS pieces plus others (original Thor) would look much better if the capes had been sculpted. XM have done a fantastic job with their sculpted capes (thinking Mysterio, Batman and Black Panther) and have convinced me this is the way to go. Would like to see PCS try their hand at sculpted capes.

I was all on the sculpted cape bandwagon until I saw the P1 Batman, that thing's epic. And you don't have to worry about it being too heavy like the Superman PF.

Imo High quality fabric cape>sculpted cape>cheap quality fabric

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Hmm.

They could be done with a different, more exclusive (more expensive) approach. More akin to a private commission.

Much rather get them officially from PCS.

If only Capcom promoted/used these characters more.

Well except Rufus, I don't know how you would save Rufus.

I for one am happy and will be ordering. Sure I would have loved her outfit to be MM, but if it means a lesser price point, I'm all for it. Can't wait to see her in person at Wondercon! Great work, Jerry.
