Midnite and Batwoman are both yesses for me!

I like Batwoman as a character, but the sculpt makes her cape look like wings. It's really off-putting for me.

What are the devices the Batwoman character is holding?

Guys, thanks for the encouragement and advice. Would I be bragging if I admitted that I actually own ONE and only one of these figures, and have for months now? I have a display of robot toys and action figures on my computer desk, and I could not pass up the opportunity of having Jocasta in there amongst them, despite the reportedly addictive nature of these sculpts.

She's beautifully done, and I can see where I might eventually cave on the JSA figures, but so far I have been able to resist the siren call of anymore of these wonderfully made Eaglemoss items.

I can also eat just one Lay's potato chip.

The Batwoman pose looks a bit out of character…

No wind where she lives?

Wind?  Yes.  Cheesecake?  No.

I may have to take back my last post, folks... I stopped by the store today, and there are a number of Eaglemoss figures there that were singing siren songs to me (Doom, Johnny, Jack of Hearts, Raven, Plastic Man, and Detective Chimp!) My lack of capital made such purchases unwise for the moment, but I imagine I will be going back sometime soon...

Ah, that whole "one potato chip" trick was no fun anyway... :-)

I like how the Batwoman pose shows off the cape a bit. Most of the caped
Eaglemoss figurines don't do much with the capes; they're just sort of
there.

Picked up Big Barda. Some effort went into the cape there too.

They were a bit more innovative with the Marvel characters. Another point, perhaps, on which the DC characters fall behind.

I really like most of the DC figurines, but I wish they'd done something
more with some of them than those static Alex Ross poses.

Got Zatanna today!!!

(And I have an extra Mister Miracle, Deadshot, Spider-Woman, and Mary
Marvel if anyone's interested...)

Got Plastic Man and Wildcat.

I gotta say, I really wish Wildcat had been black. For the first time ever, I'm actually going to customize an Eaglemoss figure and paint him black as soon as I can find some matte finish model paint and a brush. 

I'll listen to some Rolling Stones while doing it, too, just to set the mood.

As I noted above, I found the Eaglemoss Zatanna on eBay a few days ago and
received the figurine a couple of days ago.

Nice figurine, but kinda static.
