Ms. Walker looks great given her small size.
If i wanted to be super-picky, maybe her hair should blow forward, rather than the front clump hang in front of her face.

Machiko Noguchi Premium Format(TM) Figure 1/4 Sideshow Collectibles

While the wait goes on for statues on pre_order, I decided to obtain Machiko Noguchi. She arrived
today. Impressed I am. Both heads look great. The pose is perfect. The fish-net material on the
legs and body area can’t be faulted. If I wanted to be super picky, then I’d say the Alien could
have been created better at statue level, rather than at base level. Like-wise, more effort could
have been put into the paint app on the rocks.

The photo’s are some quick out of the box shots. I need to find a place to home Machiko Noguchi

To be honest Machiko Noguchi came out before I got into statue collecting. It was only while
watching a video posted on YouTube showing various stuff on display at this years Comic-Con July
2017 San Diego, would I learn of the statues existence. During the video, the *person behind the
camera would make various sounds, comments, relating to what they were looking at. For the most
part, few statues grabbed their interest. When Machiko Noguchi came into view, their enthusiasm
skyrocketed. I too thought Wow.. now that’s a cool statue!

Update: The *person in question is Sisko who uses the YouTube name xSuperLuckyx


Sisko

The video, which i cannot provide a link to (forum rules etc) can be found by searching:

Hot Toys - Harley Quinn (figure)

Arrived some weeks ago. There was some damage to one of the pigtails (sheered off). Sideshow
replaced the broken part as fast as they could. Thank you Sideshow.

I collect statues, not figures. Being a fan of Margot Robbie during Suicide Squad, could not pass
up the opportunity to obtaining the Hot Toys Harley Quinn figure.

I have to admit, the figure looks impressive. Harley’s eye’s are glossy perfection. Her hair has a
sheen to it. The various tiny gold parts shine like metal. The fishnets can only be described as a
tough rubber substance. Harley’s switch-out hands are made from flexible rubber. Unlike a statue,
much time was required working on a pose, which exposed some limitations - like not being able
to get Harley’s left boot to sit flat on the ground. Other than Harley’s slightly odd look knee joints,
every other aspect works well.

The photo’s are some quick out of the box shots, shot using a Sony Cyber-shot 7.2 mega pixels.
Using auto focus. No tripod. No flash, just room light. Since its dark outside. Might shoot some
natural daylight photo’s some other time.

Hot Toys - Harley Quinn (figure)

I couple of daylight photos. The rear shot came out nice and sharp.
Just spotted, i forgot to add the pair of rounds to Harley's shoulder holster.

Machiko Noguchi Premium Format(TM) Figure 1/4 Sideshow Collectibles

Squeezed Machiko Noguchi into a space inside one of my IKEA Detolf Unit's.
Decided to go with the Predator masked head, as it looks so bad-ass.

Sideshow Premium Art Print - Harley Quinn: Daddy’s Lil Monster

My first Sideshow Art Print. This beauty arrived 4-5 weeks ago. It's looks fantastic.

The frame was made to measure.
I opted for 60mm frame in white (there is a hint of wood-grain), with white mount, and paid
£15.00 ($20) extra for non reflective acrylic. Total price £65 ($87) free p&p

The Print looks perfect. My only complaint - on the left side, running vertically, is a ton of Sideshow text.

Hot Toys - The Dark Knight Rises - Selina Kyle/ Catwoman (figure)

Some out of the box shots. Not the best admittedly.
She's a beauty. It's like Selina Kyle is in the room, all be it in miniature form
I decided to pick up one of these up, while the wait continues for Prime 1 to reveal their
Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises


This is the image the provided the inspiration to display Catwoman with the goggles in the
upwards position like cats ears, and the mask slightly up, so as to reveal Selina Kyle's life-like
eyes. Hot Toys can be amazing at times.

The goggles are fragile and fiddly. Quite a lot of force is required to spin the goggles around so
as to act like cat ears. Luckily they did not break. The hair is an arse to get to stay behind the
ears and not stick out. The outfit limits pose-ability.


Both Harley Quinn and Catwoman are 1/6 scale. Catwoman looks smaller?

Thanks. I have four of statues on pre_order. The plan is to wind-down, maybe picking up one statue per year.
Space is dwindling, prices rising. It would be good to have something from Prime 1 or H.M.O.
