Sure, but they’re usually massive. This is the same price as the Grim Knight EX, and $50 more than the regular version of the Fabok Detective 1000.

Just looked at the IG video.

The likeness comes across better in that turnaround, but I still feel that certain tweaks would have made it stronger in general.
Those two ideas aren't incompatible.

Had this been a digital sculpt, tweaks to certain proportions could have been accomplished relatively easier, but I get the feeling it wasn't.

I also think the sculptor/design team limited themselves by being slavish to one specific reference photo that itself wasn't all that evocative of Carter in character.

For as cartoon simplistic as the first Tweeterhead was, I feel like I get a little more of the essence of Carter's likeness more effortlessly in it than I do in the more realistically rendered P1

Pricing is really crazy now. I went to Sideshows site sorted the P1 pieces by price and yes this is on the pricey side. IMHO its about $150 overpriced. That being said it's literally the same price as the Joker statue. there must be something to the licensing and payment to the actor that bumps these ones based on actual people up a bit.

If I order directly, could a kind soul remind me how much shipping to the US would cost on a piece this big? Is it both my arms and both my legs?

Had to order from Prime direct, despite being in the UK. The cape is a must! Considering this is the first and most likely the last decent sized Carter Wonder Woman, theres no way im missing out even if i pay a little more.

Give me a Slater Supergirl in 1/3 and i would be over the moon!

Would it be less expensive to find a seamstress locally to sew a cape like this- versus the extra cost from shipping direct from Japan (which I assume is going to run $300-500 more than shipping from SSC)?

The price on this is so excessive, the cape should have been included as a standard accessory.

With this pose, it's kind of an essential add-on, tying the whole thing together.
