It just seems forced.

Hello

I was wondering where you got this photo?

Also the changes are being made to her mostly paint job and shadows. But we're working on that and updates to everyone soon.

I just photoshopped it for reference......

You know what would also look hot is if you had mesh going down the side of her legs and thighs so you could show a little more skin... Or even a crop top to show her mid section... Oh well I know these probably won't happen on this version but something to think about with the web version..

Hmm

I have to confess I really like the Luis Royo interpretation images, but can understand why that amount of flesh wouldn't be acceptable in the comic cannon. Even if less flesh were shown and the figure were less voluptuous, the dynamism of the pose, the look of the face and the general air of suppressed energy would be as sexy as anything.
In comparison to the Royo pictures, the sculpture as shown, is beyond fixing. The pose is static, the face 'toon-ish, and it's about as sexy as a slap in the face with a wet cloth. It would not look out of place in a 7 year old's toy box, along with the 90mm/$7 Star Wars 'action' figures. I don't think a little bit of tinkering (as suggested by Built2Shred) can rescue it, but the tinkering would certainly make it less bad.
I am very sorry to say this, as Yamato are the only manufacturer of statues I have bought. However, this realisation of the concept does not seem to me to hold any interest whatsoever.

Regards,

Richard.

I'm a big fan of Batgirl but this statue for $250? It's probably the worst one Yamato has done so far. Very disappointing. Way below Yamato standards IMO.

I hope they nail Supergirl with a cool sexy pose and outfit....

Supergirl is gonna look really good.
Batgirl minor changes including paint.
You'll see a sample video soon. Batgirl was done by Shungo Yazawa who previously did Medusa but hoping the outcome will be good.

More to come

Saw this at an LCS. Love the face but not the rest of the statue.

I love the head, but then I also loved the head of Yamato's Wonder Woman, and the final retail statue turned out do different all the original appeal was lost.

I'm still waiting for the promised WW statue before I even consider buying other Yamato figures. :/

The EX portrait of Wonder Woman came out very close to the prototype that they original shown.

Even the regular version although not looking like the prototype still came out nice, it's not an ugly portrait by any means....
