I need to see these without the graphics. I don’t think the photo or added art is doing Dancer any favors. Starlet looks pretty, but Im sure is even better with normal photos.

I thought Starlet would be standing, like peeking over a corner wile still in her night time attire.

As for Dancer they need to remember these are going to sell on sex appeal not realism.

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

Feels like a Gentle Giant Honey Trap reboot and I love it!

I'm late to this thread, but I've been waiting for this theme to come back and I'm glad Sideshow is starting this line. I felt that Gentle Giant was on to something with their "Honey Trap" statue line, but they failed to market the next stage of those statues (Brexit & The Russian Lady) for whatever reason.

I've always believed that this theme style, has a great deal of upside to it. I hope Sideshow creates a graphic novel to go with the statues, especially with the Deep Down statue, as this one reminds me of the Gentle Giant statue "Whisper". Harbottle also had a sketch that was not used with Gentle Giant but is similar to the Deep Down statue (photo attached).

I hope Harbottle (I'm assuming he's quarterbacking this project) can bring this line with Sideshow to the level that it should have reached with Gentle Giant.

It is great to finally get to see these two
The diver statue with eyes open (they were closed) has lost some thing?
The other character looks better.
Compared to the original teaser, i am not sold.

Maybe Sideshow will offer an eye's closed swap-out portrait?

EDIT: Having looked at the original teaser image, the eye's were always slightly open.

Starlet appears to have one of those Pseudo 3D bases (with the steps in the background).

Double post shenanigans! Might as well use the space that was given.

Wait! The characters have real names, then code names, but then the statues each have a name? A little overkill? Unless that means each lady could end up with multiple statues.

I wish Gentle Giant would let Sideshow bring the Honey Trap line back, and offer Junior
