DC comics ladies in Anime style... you'll either love it or hate it. While listed as a figure, it is a statue for display only. The gray color of the outfit is darker than in the pictures, which looks much better.

Biggest downside is a leaning problem. The figure leans a bit too far on the back of the base. While the leaning is not as bad as the same issue with the Catwoman figure, you may want to tilt the base to keep everything upright, and keep the body from bending.

You know you always wondered what bat-girl would look like manga style. There's nothing wrong with the classical DC-look but it's fun to experiment with other visual styles isn't it? Japanimation/manga art works to great effect here.

This statue is part of the new DC DIRECT AME-COMI Girls PVC Statue line which is specialized mostly on the females. Gee, I wonder why? Sorry, Batman : 0

So anyway, if you dig B-girl, you can also go for Catwoman (highly recommended), Wonder Woman and Super-girl all with similar kawai (japanese for cute) styling.

These are technically limited-editions, hand-painted PVC statue (about 9" tall ) so they will sell out eventually. They are non-articulate as in they don't move, so don't attempt to do this unless you want a battle-scarred version with a broken arm. The hand-painting is done well, even at close viewing the colors are where they are supposed to be.

Comes with a base and is packaged in a 4-color window box. The base worked pretty well for me. The box is OK for displaying too if you are one of those that never actually takes your stuff out of the box : ]

Overall, a very well-done statue with a neat reinterpretation of a classic. Makes one wish there were an actual bat-girl manga to go along with it. Cheers.
