No it wasnt a hype buy. I do like the character and I thought,and pointed out here, that there was a resemblance to Monica Bellucci (a fav of mine going back to the mid 90s) -- which is a plus. I was a big fan of George Perez run back in the late 80s. Id PO'd it last year and actually cancelled when early pics showed the piece to be problematic.
The bottom of the plug adapter seems to press/compress against he table the base sits on. Maybe should have made the insert a bit higher.
The paint job on mine is really good. The lasso and hands took some time to get right so the hands wouldnt pop off. I was wondering if its just that I received it during a arctic blast and the statue was cold (it was
really cold when I opened it up)... but again the magnet connections dont seem as solid as some of their other statues Ive gotten recently. Hands seems slightly wobbly.
Despite nitpicks above... I do think its a nice statue. Pretty easily the best WW Ive seen. The room I have it in usually gets lower light, which complments it ALOT (opposed to having it somewhere thats blasted by bright sunlight all day). Again, friends who saw it this weekend, casual Marvel movie viewers and the like,
really liked it and said it was a cool looking piece ( a couple of them smiled at the placement of one of her undies stars )
I just think the Joker and Thor are a bit more dynamic is all. Im interested in both but havent pulled the trigger on either yet.
