Looking a lot better than those earlier photos!

Bit more depth to the skin than before, same with Neo. They're improving in that department.

Yeah it's looking pretty decent. I just can't unsee how thick the mask is under the eyes now, ever since that was pointed out.

It's definitely lacking in paint and sculpt, and now we have JND coming out with one to make it even worse comparatively

Finaly, i love 1/3 Darkside version.

Her left eye (our right) is too big

While i agree paint aps aren't super detailed, i still like this statue.

Her left eye (our right) is too big

Looks to me like one eye is simply opened wider than the other.

I might pick this version up, when it goes on discount. It could be an interesting project for a repaint and the addition of "real" hair.

First in-hand pics are always a let down. Looks like there's going to be a leaning problem in some of these.

The body proportions look off. Her legs appear to be too thin, especially in the thigh area, and her head (both sculpts) look to big for the body.

Honestly, all of the above could be due to camera lens distortion or poor lighting - especially with the high gloss suit.

That being said, if I had this on order, I'd personally be very nervous.

I just received Darkside Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman today instead of the coming Monday like the tracking was saying.

First impressions is it isn't as good as Blitzways and worse, the bust has a huge glaring mold error on the right breast. The right one sags way down, like VERY noticable while the left is upstanding. I know women don't usually have symmetrical breasts but this is ridiculous. If it was on the statue itself I would be very angry but as it's just on the bust I think I can live with it. Too tired from work to take good quality photos that it and you all deserve but will this coming weekend.

The portrait is pretty good although not as good as Blitzways. The hair is too dark on the unmasked portrait but very correctable. The stitching is actually better than expected and it does have some fine details and the boots are VERY well done. The magnet on the switch cover was put in wrong so the polarity throws the cover off. The magnet on the max schrek head on the left covering the switch plate is weak but the right one is strong.

As the Max shrek head covers the switch it doesn't bother me so much that they got the polarity wrong as it's covered anyway. It comes with gloves which is a nice touch. More details and photos will follow, maybe even a review which I'll send to Chris the Batman statue Collector if he wants it.

Overall first impression is it's good but Blitzway's is superior. I took some quick photos of not good quality just to prove I do have it in hand.

Number 89/750 (too bad it wasn't 92/750, but I'll take it) 1/3 Scale in the house, but the shipper got wet and thrashed on the way here (thanks, DHL). The Art box and foam are smashed on one corner, but the packaging protected the statue almost perfectly. There is a slight crack in the heel, but I don't see it from the front.

Yes, the right boob does look a little saggy on both the main statue and the bust, but it doesn't draw your eye or anything. The only reason I noted it is because some video review I saw pointed it out.

Light up looks great. Magnets are work well. Overall, fairly satisfied. They did overcharge me though from initial receipt of early order to final payments, but in total it still came in under full current retail.
