Has it now been confirmed that it isn't removable? I know everyone was saying it is but there was no actual confirmation

Davi over on statueforum emailed Sideshow about it and this is the response they got.
"" I spoke with my production team in regards to this inquiry. As of this time the shield will be meant for permanent display, as shown on our website in the gallery images. It is not intended to be removed. ""
It's a bit cryptic because they say "Meant" and "Intended", so it still might be an option to display her without it. Unless they key her body to hold the shield or glue it to her body, you should be able to display her without it... I have a feeling SS has to say what they said because of the licensing agreement with DC, since DC has to approve the look of the statue, the approval probably requires her to have the shield/sword on her but once you put her together at home you should be able to show her without it, given it's not keyed to her body.
That's a better answer IMO, thanks for sharing that bit of information.
You are welcome. Happy to help my fellow collectors make a good purchasing decision.
No shield

He back is awesome and could be shown off with a mirror backed display curio however as always the issues of greatest importance are always the face, pose, paint, and overall art direction and every one of those has been knocked out of the park. There's no way I'd ever let that shield (which looks quite cool in and of itself) be a deal breaker.
I agree. I think the shield & sword look awesome despite the fact they they cover up the amazing muscle detail of WW's back.
Yes and I can't tell for certain but it looks like her hair might also be sculpted to look like it's curling over the top of her shield. If the shield is removed it might give the back of her hair an unnatural curl that is seemingly suspended in midair. I haven't scrutinized the pics of her hair from all angles to say for certain but I believe that that might be the case.
Either way I pretty much see this as the "Michelangelo's David" of WW statues (and possibly female superhero statues period) so it's hard to find fault with it over minor things like that.

But.... But.... The strap covers up her cleavage
