Zimm's Two Cents

I thought the fur kept her warm. Okay, never mind.

This is a pretty piece.

Points in Favor.

• Incredible colors and paint job.
• Little pieces of detail that stand out. (e.g. claws, belt, pendant.)
• For a museum based statue, the base is nice.
• Long Hair on statues tends to be a difficult thing, but this one doesn't look that bad.

Points Against

• Could she really go into battle with a wedgie?

Recommendation: Buy. This one would stand out. Colors, pose, and something different.

Robert's Two Cents

Sorry, I'm late to the game on this one. I was a huge West Coast Avengers fan back in the day. Tigra was one of my favorite characters. Then again I even liked Wonder Man back then. There's no accounting for taste.

Points in Favor.

• Awesome paint job.
  
• The stripes, color and paint are fantabulous.
  
• It looks like Greer. I'm amazed at how good the face and hair turned out.
  
• Her feet. They even have her walk perfected. She was prone to walk on the balls of her feet. It was a cat thing.
  

Points Against

• I don't really have anything. It's a great piece.
  

Recommendation: I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm giving it a HOT BUY! It's simple and yet the details are great. I'm a fan of the character. Tigra may be tied with the first Black Widow statue for best female sculpt from Bowen Designs.
