I don't envy the job of our moderators/reviewers. A multitude of amazing statues to whittle down to just a handful.
Many of the small scale ones I enjoyed didn't even get mentioned: Cover Girls Bleez and Wonder Woman, B&W Zombie Batman by Sosa (a ton of fun in person). Actually, it may have fallen into the 2014 release. So hard with those end of year pieces.

Those three are nice, too. There is an "other" option, so you are still entitled to vote for one of those.
I'm not sure about the zombie batman...I think that was last year.

Zombie Batman is essential for any B&W display, I feel. But it would've been hard to top Harley last year.
I didn't mean to sound critical, Bmutha. You guys did a great job with the nominees. No one I can recall as a glaring omission. My pick would be between Batgirl and Hulkbuster.
Although Zatanna and Hawkgirl are also amazing... ugh, this is a tough year.

Just curious, the Bombshells line is 1/9 scale or smaller?

The DC scales are a bit strange. Wasn't their Icons line supposed to be 1/6? But they're noticeably smaller than Kotos and Bowens. Not sure about the Bombshells line.

DC scales are typically off. If you just read the dimensions, they should be larger than 1/9, but they look small in person and on display.
Dahwaf has a good photo in this review that shows how the size compares to the Covergirls line: http://www.statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=150008
Anyway, I always thought Bombshells should be medium, but many people have told me that they fit better into the small scale based on actual size in hand.
Anyway the scale "rules" for each category are a general rule only...some pieces have to be assigned where they "fit" the best.

Fair enough... so more than just exact scale comes into play when categorizing them. Thanks for the info
