Yep, the fabric looks like cheap polyester to me. I hate it. I also don't give AF about posing it however I want. They're annoying as hell to get to look right. Some have taken hours of messing with them to get them to look halfway decent.

That seems a little weird to me to get tired of the pose of a cape and not of the pose of the statue that won’t change anyway?
My opinion: avoid statues with boring capes, whether they are sculpted or not.

To me Diana has three "forms" to capture

1. The elegant diplomat
2. The fierce warrior
3. The powerful leader

This falls more in the elegant for me, while Fabok's is fierce. Diana has such compassion in her along with her bad ass fighting.

Mine ships on Wednesday. Super excited to finally get her. The icing on the cake is knowing I WON’T have to futz with posing a cape for once.

After having 1 fabric cape, I completely agree. I'll never buy another one.

Cape looks like normal cloth to me. At least it won’t break. And if I want to put this in a corner or near another statue I can adjust the cape as I fell like, instead of it being in the way. Oh well, to each their own.

Agree with you. But that’s why I’ll always prefer poseable figures like NECA or Hot Toys. If I get tired of posing them, I can switch it up and it’s fun. Unfortunately the characters I want now are only in statue forum, like the prime 1 Witcher 3 line or Batman Hush, with Huntress and Poison Ivy.

Though I will admit, I have over 90 Hot Toys and 7 statues, the statues always drawl my eyes more.
I still prefer fabric capes after buying the sculpted cape Huntress, as since the cape is sculpted, it limits where I can put her. If it was fabric I can pose if flying in the wind or just have it drapeing down. I know they had a fabric version of huntress, but it I got the waitlist of the sculpted version first, so I jumped on that.

TLR- Fabric is fun to pose in different ways, and if I could avoid static pose items like statues I would, but statues have the most variety and characters I want.

She'll probably lean anyways due to being on one leg. I don't see how Talon and Red Death won't lean either.
