If this was one of her older costumes I probably would've ordered. But I'm not paying $500+ for a look I don't like. Kudos to ss doing a lot of the newer costumes, though. I happen to think many of the newer Marvel costumes are ugly (Guardians, X-Men, etc) and they're non-iconic looks attached to failing stories that'll probably be forgotten after the next big event shake up has everybody changing costumes anyway so I'd never buy a statue with them, especially at rising prices, but at least ss is doing something different.

And I wish they'd do Marvel LSBs again, too.

It does have a great face and hair.
I hate Busts with arms. It looks like a statue of an amputed character

Busts tend to look like statues wading through water

Couldnt agree more if your talking about full arms or 3/4 arms. I am talking about just part of the upper arm so it actually looks like thier human and have arms as opposed to having thier entire arms amputated.

This is a perfect example of a great bust, arms wise:



and this is a perfect example of what I absolutely can't stand.



Honesty, it looks like someone chainsawed thier arms off or they were born with some sort of deformity where they had no arms at all. If the company is going to go that route, I would much rather have them just get rid of the shoulders altogther and do something like this:





That style bust looks a MILLION times better to me than having shoulders with no arm whatsoever, but to each thier own. This is why I don't buy busts and don't have a single one in my colection. I'll definitely be sticking with full statues.

Really surprised nobody noticed the ES for this yet. Pretty clear nobody gives a ---- about this piece.

Es is set at 350. Very low compared to recent pieces.

Lol... I was looking at the Venom PF and she was at the bottom of the page so I clicked on it to look at the pics and happened to notice. Terrible decision by sideshow to go with that design.

I want a Black Cat in 1/4 scale, but this one is so awful I wouldn't buy it if it were $199.

Yea, this was a bad execution of a great character.

What's funny is ...it feels like they didn't learn their lesson with this piece. It feels like they went ahead and made the same mistake with the Deathstroke PF.

They should have stayed with the classic look for both PF's ...and executed both sculpt better.

The EX on this is really bad. It looks like she's holding her lunch.
