I'm still waiting on mine to arrive. So far only WW and Bats showed up. From what I can see, the color looks about what I'm expecting. WM has a yellow'ish tint, Bats a brown'ish one and Sups trends grey'ish. But I'll get back to you once I got mine and can take a look in person.

I actually think that was a smart call. I really feel that the tints they chose worked well for the respective characters and makes them stand out on their own, without any risk of colors clashing when standing side by side. There is also a cool kind of gradient, going from one to the other, from light to dark, form pure to tainted.
Anyways, I am extremely happy with these pieces. I had high hopes and even these have been surpassed.
I adored WW from the very first time I saw a picture, so much so, that I went ahead and PO'ed th entrie line. Even though this was my first purchase for Queens Studis. WM came through splendidly. The sculpt is flawless. The face has the bone structure one would expect from a Greek demigoddess. The coloring is on point, plus it's first piece I know, where I actually appreciate it arriving with imperfections :-P
I also had my Cryptozoic WW repainted with a marble texture and while that looks great as well, it got nothing on this design by Maria Panfilova. I'll keep an eye on here future works for sure!
The best part though? I actually ended up loving Bats. My first impression was, that he was by far the absolute weakest part of this trinity, and that might still be true (waiting for Sups still), but he looks so ... both mythically brooding and iconically aloof at the same time.
For my money, it fits the Bats mythos and core personality to absolute perfection. The sculpt is very static and subdued, but transports so much character, when seen in person. Very, very impressed and happy I went for all three and not just for WW as I originally intended.
Despite there being a tons of options for Bats, this is of the most unique ones I've seen and the one with the most story to tell. At 1/4 and at this price point, I'd say it's a bargain bar none.
I also appreciate that the base has just enough detail to add the presentation, without being hyper busy and thus drawing your eye away (sorry, but that's a major pet peeve I have with Prime1, who are also doing some fantastic Bats otherwise right now). It has more of a "Bats Memorial"-vibe than the actual memorial from TKDR: he who watches over Gotham eternally, unperturbed even by death! :-D
I will post some pics once Superman comes in.
