Funny that this thread was started today, I was wanting to start one myself.
I am also interested in this line. I was turned on by it when I saw the Harley Quinn bust. From the pose to the Animated Series Joker on the box, I was sold. Until I noticed that the production version changed from the prototype (which seems to be happening way too often lately). This one change bugged me so much that I decided not to get it. Anyone know if it would be easy to change the decal on the box? Is it a sticker or is it painted on?
Thanks
Here's a pic. Proto is on the right. (Yes, the left bust is signed by Hughes):

rather than change the sticker? why not put a new one right on top of the old?

I have no idea why they changed that. I was originally supposed to draw a Joker that was to be put on, but I think I ran out of time....
Yeah, I don't know what goes on between protoytpe and production. Sometimes the final looks GREAT, and sometimes I go "Eeeyyyrrr.....". I never liked Supergirl's production paint job. But the Catwoman is so stinking pretty! I don't know how that happens. Maybe the little Chinese slave child that's REALLY good at painting faces gets 'yard time' for good behavior, and on those days they give the job to some talentless whelp who's only good at sharpening spoons into shivs, and no more. Who can fathom the Mysteries of the Orient...

I would have loved to seen your interpretation of a Joker emblem Adam, (cough... hint hint... cough). But I hate that they changed it from one of the most appropriate Joker faces to a classic 60's style like that. It just doesn't fit the modern Harley.
Mehh... I'll probably get it anyway when I have the cash.

Perhaps we could do up a little exclusive run for the Freaks - I'll print them up - I volunteer my color printers at work for the job!

Thanks for the quick reply. I sent a couple of emails last night to no avail. It looks like I'll have to pay a premium if I want to complete the set, bummer.Polystoner said:
But at least not having to buy one now leaves me more money to save up and hopefully buy the White Queen Comiquette.

I've kept up on the whole line, just got Zatanna the other day, which I thought would have been one of the nicer of the series, but screwy paint apps just like on Supergirl, not as bad, but not as good as the others.
As far as the Catwoman, its probably nicest one next to the Hawkgirl; the mace behind the back was clever as hell. As far as the paint and sculpt on these, the Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy were the best.

An Evil Collector?
This would be a great set to get repainted. Costly but worth it. From the pics I've seen, the paint isn't really up to par on any. Decent on some, but not top notch.

Ok, so where can I get a deal on the Harley bust? I think I've talked myself in to getting her.

Get Harley, she is one of my favorite busts I own. She is simply amazing in every way... and honestly the joker on the box doesn't bother me much, although it would have been cooler had they kept to the one advertised.

Man, if only I had $120+ right now to buy them all.FrankenFan said:
Sadly I think If I pass on any one of them now I'll probably be paying $120 just for one later on.
I really wish DCD would rerelease the entire wave in a few years.

Does anyone know where else I can get a cheap Harley bust. The other store has a shipping date of 5/27. That seems a bit strange to me.

If you are referring to DCBS, they/Diamond are resoliciting the busts.Shropt said:

Darklord Dave said:I've lucked out on the paint, Supergirl is probably the worst with some slop of blue onto her white overshirt both at collar and cuffs. I think the weakest is the first two, Wonder Woman and Ivy, but from Catwoman on they are so much fun.
Batgirl isn't out yet.
Quicky snap with the flash -
Your pic is the first time I've seen these mini busts together as a collection and they look great.
Have you heard anything about if and when we'll get more DCD mini busts, are there any other lines coming up?
