Same. She was really impressive in person at SDCC. But then I have nothing else that would display with her.

There's a post I wrote last week in another thread as a reply to a post about the occasional regret after surrendering to FOMO:

I own 10 statues of 1/6 scale and larger. I have no regrets about purchasing eight of them (TH Poison Ivy, XM Harley Quinn Rebirth solo, TH Joker on Throne (1/6 Deluxe), Tsume Art Batman, SSC Harley Quinn leaping, P1 Supergirl, SSC JSC Cinderella, SSC JSC Alice in Wonderlad: Game of Hearts Edition) and have very small regrets about the other two (XM Wonder Woman Rebirth, SSC Red Sonja mk3). Also, I've never sold any statues.

Apart from buying less statues than many of this forum's members, my "secret" is to wait a long time, at least a year in most cases, after a statue I'm interested in is released before I press the "Add to Cart" button. There is some risk a statue will sell out completely before I make my decision about it, but this has never happened to me, and if one day it does happen, so be it.

This way I give myself plenty of chances to lose interest in a statue before I purchase and not after, which is a huge plus.

Two notable exceptions were the Tsume Art Batman and the TH Joker on Throne (1/6 Deluxe), where I realized a preorder is most probably a must, and the risk of disappointment seemed small. Indeed I was not disappointed.
It could be that nearmint has read it.

I'm in the same boat here, and since I'm hesitating, I'll probably skip for now, or forever. It's an impressive statue, for sure, but also the most provocative of the line in my opinion, and I rather regret not buying it than regret buying it.

I read parts of the entire thread earlier today, including this:

Sorry about that.

On the positive side, I found out that your prediction of the actual price was literally spot-on:

Very impressive.

I can attest to that. Because I too am one with the force.

I went ahead and ordered her. Shipping is $48.18. Must be a big box.
