Yeah...she looks great from a distance. Would be pleased if she cost like $100 less for the quality. For the price, I want those arm seams and paint lines to look at least ok up close, too.

Shame...Joker and Batman are phenomenal.

Thanks for all the compliments on my pup, Winter!

looking at the pics on my computer (only saw them on phone before) the left arm definitely looks better than the right arm which is fortunate because I think most people would display it with the left arm facing forward and the right arm towards the back

The arms aren't even attached properly, and the green lining along the cleavage isn't painted fully.
Good eye, I was focused on looking at the seams and didn't even notice the green paint that was missing.

It's not too bad on the left but they missed a lot on the right side.

At least we have no complaints about her eyes or portrait paints -- thank god!

I'm waiting on a shipping notice since she is paid up in full.

So if you are in a colder climate, please allow her to get to room temperature before assembling her. It'll be easier to put the peg in without having to force it.

Well that's a bit obnoxious. Maybe just return her and wait until XM does her for $600?

given the ugly arm seams and the poor paint application on her collar, I can understand his disappointment in getting her.

True XM will probably cost a few hundred more but odds are the paint application will be a lot better and I doubt she will have ugly arm seams... Now accurate scale size is another matter

you do get a plaque for that.

The seam was apparently the only way they could have assembled her with the whip attachment. It was an engineering decision.
