Freddie Mercury could have pulled that look off.  Thanks JB, now I have that in my brain for every Kraven story now!

A new addition -- but note the lack of mesh! Not even a grey tone, which would be a passable replacement. Otherwise, pretty nice sculpt.

You could try using a PITT pen ;)

If the legs were detachable, I might.

I bet Jodi could make an actual pair of stockings for her...

Given that Zatanna and the Black Canary are both wearing "actual" mesh on the "Women of the DC Universe" busts, I wonder what was the problem here?

I believe the original art this Zatanna was based on didn't have mesh stockings--could that be why they skipped it?

Well, the excuse that DC Direct would give you is that it's from this Catwoman cover- sans stockings...

oh well. Still not sure why there isn't at least a grey tone on the legs.

Yes, the old "This is wrong, but now it's carved in stone" approach. sigh

I suppose I wouldn't mind, if they hadn't widened her thong and pushed her boobs down. I don't need the skinny thong and the ballooning boobs, but if they're going to be "faithful", be faithful!

I guess that means Zatanna is waiting for me at the shop when I go in tomorrow! Oh Boy!

Holy cow!  I just received my HeroClix Galactus.  What a big, cool Galactus!  Think I might have this hanging out with my Eaglemoss Marvels and use the Eaglemoss Galactus as my hungry one.  Man, I better slow down or I'll be broke at the rate I'm picking up stuff!

When I first started collecting the Eaglemoss figures, before they grew so many in number that they required their own display case, I arranged them on the shelf in front of my HeroClix Galactus. Scale is just about right!
