Zimm's Two Cents
While I haven't enjoyed all of the releases, I have enjoyed the series. I have enjoyed the different takes on the DC Universe characters, and this is one of them. I am always excited to see a new piece from them.

Points in Favor
  • Steampunk Goggles! Wahoo. I got to combine Steampunk with a Statue Review.
  • Colors - Simple, but Striking. From the Blue, to the red and yellow and the white of the metal contrasting to her skin tone. NICE.
  • The little pieces of detail. Gloves, eye/lip liners, differences in the boots.
  • The take on the character. I like this Ame-Comi version of Steel.
  • The pose. Some statues just do not seem natural, this one does.
Points Against
  • The base is always the same - so while it is nothing fancy, they are consistent.
  • PVC Statue. I haven't really bought into the "PVC" style of statues yet.
Recommendation: Buy. If you have been collecting this series, this will be an excellent addition to the series.

Robert's Two Cents
This is one of the better one's so far. It reminds me a lot of the period of time where John Henry Irons' niece was Steel.

Points in Favor
  • Reminds me a lot of a character I enjoyed a lot.
  • The accessories. I love her goggles and the hammer.
  • Also the design is by Dustin Nguyen. I love most of his designs.
Points Against
  • She really should have more armor on.
Recommendation: Buy. This is one I'll probably get. I like most of these so far. There have been a few misses, but this isn't one of them.

I wonder if they'll reference Titans: Stone Paper Scissors when they get around to more of the Titans characters.
