Photos of the Kotobukiya Catwoman Vinyl statue.

This is certainly one that I longed for; she's beautiful and blue goggles always sucker me in. So when I went to Montreal Comiccon and had my heartbroken after finding out someone did indeed have it in stock AND sold it for 75$ - I quickly searched for the cheapest one I could find online (120$). It's a Christmas present to myself - much like the Star Wars R2D2 Xbox is my birthday present to myself :p

I was so excited to rip open the package, despite paying an extra 20 for custom fees. I was actually quite surprised at the size of her; she was way bigger than I anticipated. All-in-all, I was satisfied with how much I paid, I love her to bits. The goggles....they please me so very much. I will pretty much buy anything that has Catwoman in blue goggles XD
She does not attach to the stand, she just merely sits on it - which is fine by me.

Anyway, on to the photos~

Pictures of my DC Covergirls - Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Zatanna & Hawkgirl.

Today was an awfully boring day, and it was also one of those days where I just did NOT want to change out of my PJs. So when I put pants on and realized how annoying those freshly-washed-tightassed jeans were...I quickly changed back. I lounged around unsure of what to do to entertain myself - and then I thought of this blog and my pics. Since I LOVE to look for real-life, non advertisement photos of the statues I consider buying, I thought "Hey, I might as well help out other like minded individuals".

So here are my beautiful DC Covergirls!
I'll start with my first pride and joy:

Catwoman


The first Covergirl I bought, and the one that started by dark descent into statue collecting. She's quite a beauty, with her shiny skin-tight suit. 

Special Touch (Something that sticks out for me): Her little cat shaped belt buckle.

Harley Quin

My second Covergirl. The first time I went to Fan Expo I really wanted a Harley figure but not many had any nice ones, and the Harley CG had her release date pushed back - so a year later I scored her.

Special Touch: The blood on her mallet.

Zatanna

I bought her at the same time as my Hawkgirl (cause they gave me a good deal). I was SO happy I found her for 100, because believe it or not, she's selling for A LOT more on online stores (160 is the average). So when I bought her and Hawk, I got both for 90 each. Not bad in my books, I paid 90 for my other 2.
All in all - she's absolutely gorgeous. I never really knew much about Zatanna, but I fell in love with the statue, so it quickly became a must have.

Special Touch: Her face.

Hawkgirl

Bought with Zatanna, I really wanted a Hawkgirl statue but there aren't many nice ones out there. I personally would've preferred her helmet down but what can I do. To be honest, I bought her mainly because I can feel myself becoming an avid collector - as in...I want ALL of the Covergirls. She was the first CG that I have to put into the stand myself, which probably explains why she falls out so easily...

Special Touch: Her wings.
