You know you have a problem when you don't remember that statue you ordered. I had completely forgotten about it. Part of that is that I prepaid for the statue the day I ordered it with gift certificates I had for the store. It also was ordered months ago so had slipped my mind.
All that said, I am glad I did order it. What a great statue! And pretty affordable.
And big!
A great purchase.
I am not a packaging guy. Nothing stays 'mint in box'.
But the back of the box gives a nice little summation of the Supergirl television character.
As I said, this is a big piece. And very nice dynamic pose. This is Supergirl, running into action, clearly in the Fortress of Solitude.
The cape and hair is streaking! We know she is motoring!
Whoever she is running to confront better watch out!
And this is a very good sculpt. It looks like Melissa Benoist. The tendrils of hair, the texture of the costume, the piping on the shirt, the folds in the skirt, the creases in the boots. It is all there to make this very realistic.
She is in full run mode, legs in sprint mode and cape in the wind behind her.
And purely from the side, you can see how wide this is.
We are talking an omnibus, three hard covers, 2 Showcases, and three trades deep.
The answer is no.
We get deep folds and furls of the cape. We see the color and feel of the ice spikes.
From a 360 view, it is a fine statue.
How big is this statue?
I had to completely rearrange the shelves of the collection.
Enough 'show' merchandise has been made, much of it large, to dominate half a shelf. The New 52 merchandise needed to find a new home near the Silver Age stuff. Strange bedfellows indeed!
Anyways, looking for a piece which is large, beautiful, and not super-expensive? This might be the one for you!
