Background to why I picked the Ame-Comi series:
I did not notice this series until my niece went into great detail about the Anime style, faces, eyes, hair, and so forth - and yes, I have been addicted to Anime series. Anyway - as I am an avid collector, I wanted to get something that bridged the gap between the two of us. When I originally saw the pictures and statues, I liked them but was uncertain.
Now, after having seen three of them and passing them on to my niece, I must admit that I like the series. The casting, colors, and "anime" version make for some really awesome characters. I was lucky enough to grab her Supergirl and Cheetah, while I gave her mom Wonder Woman.
For this review, I am talking about all of the statues in general; however, one of my favorites in this collection is the Wonder Woman statue.
Points in Favor
- Great collection for the younger geeks, female geeks, and/or anime geeks.
- Great designs and colors.
- They have some great shoes. (Okay - this last point came from my niece. When I showed her the series of statues, she included the shoes in determining if she liked the outfits or not. Go figure on this point.)
- Wizard Universe is having some great sales on a number of these.
- Some of the outfits have a little to be desired in the way of maintaining the character they represent.
- Also - again - not all of the shoes are that great.
- Figuring out how to get Wonder Woman's sword in her hand or Supergirl hooked to base without driving self crazy.
Personal Choice: Some are on CLEARANCE, so why not grab a few.
3 comments:
They definitely need instructions for Wonder Woman's sword. If assembly is required, most of them assemble pretty easily and are pretty easy to connect to their bases.
Wonder Woman is definitely my favorite, followed by Power Girl. Not for the obvious reasons though.
Also, I don't care for the Zatanna. They make her look too young. I don't care for Catwoman.
