So, unfortunately, the knee pads are kind of crooked and bunched up around the top of the boots on my figure. Does anyone know if I would I be able to pull off her boots and fix the pads, and get them back on her without wrecking her?
Anyone received theirs from Popcultcha yet?
Have to admit I've been feeling kinda underwhelmed by how this looks in most of the pics out there, but I just received mine today and think it looks absolutely amazing in hand. The sculpt is gorgeous and the eyes on mine seem to be looking a tiny bit more upward, so she's not staring vacantly ahead as much. And I don't see any problem with the elbow joints, as long as you make sure to bend them at the lower joint and not the upper one (I'm always surprised how many people don't bend the knee and elbow joints correctly).
My only complaint is with how much padding they've put on either side of her torso, and how loose the suit is there. I know they were trying to give her some of those curves that previous BW figures were missing, but it doesn't really come across that well. Although the figure does at least capture her proportions better than any of the others I have.
I had pretty much the opposite reaction.
Got mine a week or so ago and you can put me down as one of those that's disappointed in it.
I was perfectly happy with Civil War version, even though rooted hair is a PITA and always out of scale.
The main reason I went with this was- sculpted hair and- even more importantly- how the figure was displaying a hint of an expression in the prototype pics.
She had her brow furrowed, which at least gave her a hint of life, compared to the usual wide eyed zombie look these female figures almost always have.
In hand...nope. No hint of that knit brow. Just the same vacuous, deer-in-the-headlights look they all have.
At least the sculpted hair is an improvement.
I hear you about how photos don't capture the sculpt on hand. It's unfortunately the limitation of most cameras. I noticed the same thing when I take pictures of my figures with my phone camera. Some details are lost and the proportions can get distorted depending on your distance from the figure. A good DSLR or mirrorless camera with a macro lens works best IMHO but I don't have that right now.
Phone pics can definitely be tricky. I?ve found setting the camera mode to portrait reduces the ?fish-eye? distortion and I?ve been pretty happy with the results.
Not BW, but here?s a quick snap on my kitchen table with natural light.
Yo, that's a dope pose/photo!

Finally shipped. Can't wait to get her in!
You won’t be disappointed. It’s one of the most beautiful HT female sculpts I have ever seen.
I know people have said this has limited articulation, but this has great articulation as far as I'm concern. She can kick high and her arms can go straight up. IMHO this is one of the best BW to date.
Definitely growing on me as I thought it would. Still working out different posing options.
I need to take photos in better light that aren?t on a messy desk, without raging iPhone distortion.
But yeah, this is a very good figure although you need to fight with it a bit to bring out its best.
I?ll work on it more in the morning.
