Sculpting - ***1/2
Obviously, if you don't like the bishoujo or anime style of these statues, you aren't going to like them overall. It's the
whole point, after all.
As usual, she has the big eyes and soft facial features, as well as the fine butt and huge boobs. It's all part of the
style.
I've mentioned before that these often remind me of a modern version of the classic pin up girls of the 40's and 50's, like
the Vargas artwork. That's a little more true of
the Cover Girls of the DCU, but these statues are like Japanese animation meets auto parts calender girl.
I love the majority of this pose, especially the stance over the gargoyle. The proportions are great, and the sexy attitude
oozes.
I've never been crazy about dynamic hair, but this sculpt works pretty well. It's a bit over board, but the design is fluid
enough to make it work. The translucent color helps as well, but more on that in the next category.
My only real complaint is the slightly awkward bend in her left elbow. She's holding the staff in a ready position, but
because it's underneath the left arm, the elbow is buckled forward a bit, which looks odd at certain angles.
She stands just a bit over 8" tall, fitting in nicely with the rest of the series.
It's worth mentioning that the staff comes in two pieces, making it easier for you to slide it into her hands.
