WOW! Another good one from DC Direct! How cool is this. While I have never been that big of a Vixen fan, this bust

Zimm's Two Cents:
DC needs to keep this up, as I could see me having an entire JLA collection; however, I would really be up for the Teen Titans or JSA.
Points In Favor
  • Pricing! This is well within my range.
  • Colors. DC's statues are consistently vibrant and "non-splotchy," which makes them more "comic bookish"
  • I like the pose and facial expression.
  • Bust, while slightly splotchy, is a little better then some of the bland bases out there.
  • The little pieces of detail - the earrings, necklace. and curled finger.
Points Against
  • The yellow is a little overwhelming.
  • The eyes, for some unknown reason, bother me.
Recommendation: Overall - this one leans toward being a strong Buy. I'm glad to see several statues coming out that are definitely worth purchasing. I just hope that DC limits the edition size in all of these.
