The new portrait has a fuller face, looks a lot better, can't wait to get my replacement heads...

I think I remember someone saying for those of us who did the “SHIP NOW” to Spec Fiction Back when WW was first released, that we would get the replacement heads later but also have to pay additional shipping?

The face looks good- as does the whole line up.

It's interesting to see these with foot lighting.

I've got the Aquaman, though I haven't set it up yet.
Looking at other people's display pics, I've been disappointed in the color values XM used. The value relationships of the Aquaman's lower body, the seahorse, and much of the base are too similar to my eyes and nothing really pops out as distinct or powerful. The sculpt itself is great, but I've been wondering how a repaint of the seahorse would look, using much lighter tints.

I'd never thought of using underside lighting and it seems, based on your set up, like it would also address that problem, but with far less hassle and much more economy.

That probably wasn't the intent, but it turned out to be a happy accident- at least for that piece specifically. It looks to also be giving the rest of them a more dramatic urgency as well. Good show all around

From my understanding he has them now he's just shipping out the people who had him hold onto their statues until the new portraits came. Once they all ship out then he'll ship the portraits only...

And yes there will be extra shipping costs for the portraits by themselves...

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Unfortunately the regular head doesn’t fit correctly so hoping I can get a replacement.

Got it today! It’s amazing for the price point, and I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for more 1/6 XM pieces.
My only complaint would be the laso. It’s a pain in the butt threading it through the holster on her hip.
Also, to anyone who has this, is there a better, neater way to get the laso on the hip? I seem to suck at this lol

I have a bit of a tip that might make it a little easier. You can glue the tips of the lasso so that it is hardened and won’t fray each time you have to loop it. Other than that, you’d have to ask Wonder Woman herself for a more efficient way.

I was thinking about that or a tiny piece of tape. I’ll give it a shot, thank you.
