Some of the subjects were aimed at me, but not the scale. Let's see how my resolve holds on Talon.
Quite the opposite. Queen Studios is killing me.

And those suckers are damn expensive. And what’s worse is that their boxes are damn huge!

Hell the Hulk bust was the biggest box I’ve ever seen. And I’ve collected others busts, 1/2 and 1/3 scales and this single box dwarfed any single one of them.

Though the 1/3 Joker box wasn’t all that big, relative to Prime 1 anyway.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I have yet to see two pics where the vines that go around her body are the same.

This was the absolute worst statue I have ever had to assemble. The only thing I can think of is the vines I received are not correct. It keyed in properly, but they all rest against the body and don't even come close to resembling the proto pics or many of the pics I've seen elsewhere. I have seen one that looked similar. I may just remove them like I saw someone else had done.

Mine neither, but I don’t have an issue with it.

Is yours resting against the body? I don't know. I guess it's not going to cause any damage, because it sure would have from putting those on if it was going to.

I love the unboxing video P1 put out where everything just slides together so easily. Putting the huge plant piece on was horrible. Trying to put those vines around the body was worse, especially since I was following the instructions and doing it before putting Ivy in the base. I have to simultaneously keep Ivy upright without toppling over, stretching the vines apart without breaking them, and then TRY not to break a finger or scrape the body (failed the last part, but I've seen no damage). It never seemed right. No idea why there is such a variance in these vines.

It’s just the thin areas mixed with the heat during shipping that causes some warping. Mine are touching her, but I don’t think it will cause an issue. They also touched her body quite a bit when putting them on, but I see no marks. Vines and attaching that massive plant monster were real challenges. I think it’s worth it though. I have some great pieces, but this thing is a different class.

My vines aren't like the picture either. Top one is up a little bit, resting on her hip. Bottom one is way off, doesn't even reach her knee.

Looking between the my statue and the official photos, I don't care one way or the other which position those vines are in. They're just purposeful clutter anyways.

I'm a little concerned about them rubbing paint, but I can't really think of why they would be moving in the first place.

I went for the regular, got it a month ago. Think I've seen at least one on youtube that was from Sideshow.

No, I'm still patiently waiting for mine. Last charge on my credit card was November 2019 and mine keeps getting pushed back. Hopefully I'll get it by Christmas.
