That prototype is a thing of beauty. My Prime1 AK Catwoman waitlist converted last night, which I’m stoked about, but now, I’ll have to decide whether or not to keep this one. I swore to myself that I would just buy statues related to Batman and his Rogues gallery going forward as I need to start focusing my collection, but the ES on this one got me.

Because here, there is clearly no gap at all.


If you look at this pic on a phone where you can easily zoom in, you do see some gap between the two strands of hair hanging down past her shirt.

On my screen I see a thin shadow and the tip of a hair strand. But, it's clearly VASTLY different than what was shown in the unboxing video.

Precisely. The clean head will nary see the light of day.

I think you were more spot on about how they photo shopped the order page pics. Because when she was at conventions, the neck seam was just the same as the unboxing vid. The website photos were doctored, the statue has always had the same issues.

What I'm shocked about is that SS kept it that way. They usually do try to fix seams, if even just a little bit.

I do stick to my statement of her looking damn good though. It's a really great statue with an unfortunately managed attachment point.

Cancelled her. Really disappointed in some of the changes to the face and the seam.

That's really too bad. I didn't order this piece, but have always been super impressed with it, and it's so disappointing that something that would have been such an easy fix was overlooked.

Someone said it was, though i don't recall which thread it was posted.

Well this pic is obviously taken from a convention floor, which one -- not sure. But in person, based on this pic, the seam was always very prominent. So proto or production, the neck seam was there for everybody to see

The sad thing is it would of been a simple fix, just bring the sculpted shirt a tad higher on her chest and it would of hidden the seam.
