The colors are actually brown. It is a bit more noticeable in the video.

I wouldn't call the Thor, Greek God series, or the Valkyrie boring. I also liked Cleo but can see how some might find it boring. Didn't care for Pocahontas at all.

As to this one, I really would have liked to see a more elaborate costume. I know some like a lot of skin on their vampires but I would have prefered like a satin cloak or something (maybe with some red or at least color) and then more subtle skin, like a long slit up the leg or plunging neckline or whatever. This looks more like a native American outfit with long boots, which also could have been a little fancier IMO (maybe some laces or buckles or something?) The crown is fine with me and does seem similar to Queen of the Damned (which is also similar to older work that I know of). All in all I think I will pass on this one.

The Valkyrie doesn't have a bra option because he is producing an entirely separate statue with a bra in which she is stepping out of a ship as a base. I like the non-nude much better personally and will be getting that one.

I know the non nude is being made, it just strikes me as odd that they wouldn't just add the option. It just cuts their customer base. Some might not want the big boat, but don't exactly want to flash some tig ol bitties either.

The one thing that I think should be changed ASAP is the eye makeup, and the eyebrows. These imo are bringing the whole piece down.

This statue looks better in the video. Not sure why exactly.

Really disappointed that I am feeling the same way. The idea has a lot going for it. Just the end result isn't doing it for me.

It seems like with the exception of the crown/tiara the costume got the least bit of attention, when it should have been the top priority after the actual body sculpt.

What you mean, like Vampirella? Eye shadow and thick eyebrows?
