I think the Batgirl was the first Bishoujo that I really liked, but I'm getting a kick out of this one. Also, she is not as 'trampy' as some of the other Emma Frost's statues out there.

Points In Favor

• Price. With the economy the way it is, people may be able to handle the $50 a little easier; thus, it makes this one a good gift.
• Good colors - especially with the shades of blue and gray to contrast the white.
• Don't mind the face or hair.
• It's a good pose. I'm tired of all the same poses and facial expressions.

Points Against

• That's a base?
• Not really a statue for the younger X-Men fans.

Recommendation: For the price point, it's a buy. If you do buy it for the younger fan, just wait a while to give it to them.

At first my hangup was the "floozy factor", but actually after reflecting a bit, it's not that bad and there pieces where Emma Frost looks more like a hooker than she does here.

I think I actually like this one. They've done a good job integrating her two classic looks. There's the Hellfire Club Emma frost wearing a bustier, panties, boots, and a cape. And there's the X-Men Emma Frost where she basically almost looks like a street walker with the white too low cut pants and corresponding top with white lip stick.

Points In Favor

• The lip stick color. I hate the white lip stick that Emma Frost wears these days. Nothing says hooker like white lip stick.
• Her face. They made her look appropriately japanimation enough, but with her curled brow they kept her dark side. There is just enough balance of detail and cartoony to make the face work.
  
• While lacking the finer detail of a Bowen statue, the hair is nicely posed and conveys the movement this piece calls for.
  
• The pose is a classic Emma Frost pose without being an over used tired pose. I'm not sure what she's doing with her left hand, but then she does the same thing in the comics.
• The clothes, while trampy, are a good blend of her two looks. The boots and the bustier are definite throwbacks to what she wore when as the White Queen of the Hellfire Club and the pants and jacket are from her current look. The gloves, jacket/cape, and boots help make the transition between the two eras of her career.
  

Points Against

• I don't think I could carry it to the office, nor should it be in a room where my kids will be. But that's Emma Frost for you.
  

Recommendation: It's a Buy. I like it. I
