Zimm's Two Cents
WOW! And I don't really care for the Power Girl character, but WOW.
Points in Favor
  • Excellent job on the face. From the color of her hair, to the simplicity of the lines, to the lips, nose and eyes. It looks good.
  • Love the cape on this one. I like that it is flowing behind her.
  • Simple colors - but they pop.
  • The sculpting on this one looks really good. Look at the close up to the face.
Points Against
  • Usually, I would say the base; however, this is what you have come to expect from the series. So not much wrong with this one.
Recommendation Buy to Hot Buy (depending on if you are into big breasts or Power Girl). She would look good next to the Black Canary that I have on order.

Robert's Two Cents
Very, very nice piece. The overinflated bazoongas would put me off if this were any other character, but this is Power Girl. Half of the whole point of her existence is to have oversized breasts.

Points in Favor
  • This whole run so far is to die for. Great sculpt.
  • The costume. It looks very realistic from the seams in the costume, to the belt, to the cape, to the boots.
  • I especially like the way the cape flows. Appropriately Superman homage without being a slave to the homage.
  • Paints are gorgeous.
  • Price. These are all very reasonably priced for the quality.
Points Against
  • None that I can see.
Recommendation Hot Buy I'd rather have the Black Canary, but you could do much worse than picking this up.

Finally a set of DC statues that are worthy. Zatanna,Catwoman and Black Canary also look amazing. Pass on the Wonder Woman though shelooks drugged.

I thought that some of them were turning out pretty good myself. In fact, I ordered the Black Canary. Can't wait to see how she looks. Only concern is the edition size. We'll see.
