Thanks for the input spindrift, appreciate it. But sadly they are as noticeable in person. I wish they were not. Why SS did this is beyond me. Just paint the damn thing a gloss black and allow natural light to give the effect of high lights.

People usually like it when Sideshow adds shading and complain they are being cheap if they keep it monotone.

I don't. It has ruined quite a few pieces for me.

Another youtube review someone posted. Video quality is good and gives a good look at the statue.

although i still prefer the suit of the prototype, the head sculpt is phenomenal!

Same here. Pick shading and highlights were appropriate. The purple was a poor choice for this piece. And also the grey for Pfieffer Catwoman imo.

IMO the mix media on her looks really bad.... Just looks cheap... Just basing it on pictures and this video... maybe it looks better in person but I can't see it looking that much better.... Kind of a bummer given how much it costs...

I usually give Sideshow a lot of criticism for the quality of their actor likenesses, but they did a great job here. Who sculpted this? Whoever he or she is, they should be sculpting all of Sideshow's pieces that are based on actor likenesses.

This is a great looking statue of Julie Newmar and we're lucky it's not a $500+ job like the rest of them now.

I agree and it does not look better in person. I'm disappointed. This would have been much better fully sculpted.

One of the smallest pf shipping boxes. I've been getting use to PCS and Prime 1 1/3 boxes

Opened mine today and had to send in a request for a replacement for the base.

I will say that I like the PF otherwise. The crazy purple highlights don't show up under normal lighting. These pics were taken with a flash so there would be no mistaking my problem with the base.

such a marvellous head sculpt wasted! i want the original suit back.

 

[spindrift]

yeah the new suit is nice but not anywhere as great as the original suit- i'm going to buy her but in no rush- don't think it will sell out soon....but disappointed still

I know that picture is a bit dark but that suit almost looks sculpted... It's to bad they didn't stick with it, or if DC wanted the sparkle suit they should of sculpted it on...

Mine came today, and I've never been this ambivalent about a $400 statue before. It's not so much the bodysuit, as it's the lack of effort put into the base that bugs me the most. A little more height and more creative accessories would have made a difference, IMO. Also, I definitely would have preferred the glossy unitard, just like most of you. Paint apps on the belt are sloppy, adding to the immense feeling of "meh."

Hopefully Batman will not disappoint, and make Catwoman look better when displayed together.
