Fixed it for you.

I wouldn't mind if they offered these in 1:6 as well.

Oops, holding too many things at once in my head

Yes, 1:3 busts, my mistake.

Again, it's a bummer as I have....2? 3 of the DC 1:6th (blended with XM's 1:6th statues). It's a pain in the ass since both companies have slowed on their 1:6th lines.

No producer is immune from this though, least of all sideshow, kings of the "here's half the avengers with one art direction and base style, now you get the other half with a totally different base" or the fact we've gotten a mix of spidey villains in different environments multiple times at this point...

I have a mix of XM and TH 1:6 as well. People have been clamoring for a Perez Zatanna in 1:6 as well as a several others for years from TH. Perez Deathstroke, Raven, Power Girl and Star Sapphire come to mind. Just a kick in the pants they finally make one as a 1:3 bust.

Me too. Would have fit in with the rest of the pieces more as well, given the time period these are all going for.

Though this Catwoman bust does have a 40’s/50’s vibe to it though

Question for the Zatanna fans, what's the red thing on her head? And does it connect to the cheek guards? Is it some sort of weird magical headpiece?

[mmk123]

yeah, I never understood that headpiece either.
I also never thought that the headpiece was attached to the cheek guard but that does make sense.
I do remember when the costume debuted (JLA #187 vol 1 I believe) and I did like it however I have noticed that some artist could not just get it right.

I am curious why a 1:3 bust is faster and cheap than a 1:6 statue. They should be about the same size. What is it about legs that makes them so expensive and complex?

[mmk123]

I wonder if the reason the 1/3 size was picked because no one had the exclusive rights to the 1/3 DC characters in Bust form.
