I'm relatively new to this whole deal, but I'm curious about those seams.
Those looks simply awful.
What is up with this? Is this a limitation of manufacturing? I was looking at some others that I have, and none of them have seams. But, they do have tall boots or stockings that could essentially 'hide' seams. So maybe that's it? Do all the statues in this line have seams around that level?

Not super into Mera, so I'm not sure she was on my list anyways. But definitely not looking like this.

It's definitely not normal. I have probably 40 bishoujo and none of them have these awful seams. I don't understand why the piece had to be cast separate from the legs.

Found this online listed as paint master. Does that mean final look for the seams as well? If so, not cute

I skipped this one. Not taking the chance on those seams. Plenty of other things to spend money on.

I was hoping to see in-hand pics first. Holding off until I can see how those seams are in-hand.

Well that's a fail. They didn't even bother to follow the natural lines of her costume.
