I mean it looks ok and all but it's just so, so plain and boring.
You think she will be $100 more than Scarlet Witch?

I mean I'd pay, but sense leave the arena with me and PG.

No way. Same price as SW. But, I'm sure he means plus shipping and tax.

I would agree that it's weird for most other female characters but in this instance it's perfectly normal because of the way she's been depicted for so many years. Alot of what we discuss is weird when you think about it but not when put into proper context. How many grown men talk about a character's body hair but if you buy Wolverine statues the topic is bound to come up.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I'm definitely interested, but I need to see more, like the dimension and the price tag, especially if Storm turns out to be a bust...

Ah, I see.

I have those $300+ reward dollars built up that expire at the end of the year so I'll shave off quite a bit of that cost on her.

That said, Sideshow make a killing off me if they "Batmanized" Power Girl with releases every year.

I'm guessing 28" with standing upright and floating, the foot print looks minimalist in nature. Fine by me, my collection has vertical clearance, it is the width that is becoming an issue.

I think the biggest issue of this statue's breast size isn't so much that PG should have huge boobs (which is a character trait that's being ignored by this sculpt), while it's just that SS is so generic with their female proportions that every woman has the same body type these days. It's definitely made clear with the side by side pics of PG and SG basically looking the same, and I bet you could put those side by side with any other female statue and see a similar body - and it's just generically boring.

Jim Lee drew Psylocke with really thick thighs, and SS didn't do that in their sculpt. Michael Turner drew Supergirl to be a late-aged teenager with an athletic build, and SS didn't translate that to either of their releases. And now we have a Power Girl that isn't a "beefier" woman's body all around, who now instead looks like a generic female sculpt that's being used for every other woman statue. Kind of a shame, if you ask me....

I think Power Girl looks pretty thick. She looks more built than the other ladies, which is good. Black Canary has nice legs too, as she should given she’s fighter, but Power Girl is still more ripped than her.

I do think if you put Wonder Woman near Power Girl they have the built look and boob size. Which bothers me since Power Girl’s knockers should dwarf Wonder Woman’s.
