Just took mine outta the box. She stands well, good paint apps, no loose joints. Crossbow is a little large for the figure and doesn't fit terribly well. You have to position it just right under her armpit, rather than hold it the way you would actually hold a crossbow that Huntress has. It's formed mainly like a great war crossbow from the 1300s rather than what she'd wear on a holster. Otherwise she looks great.

Idk, I really wasnt impressed with mine. Her face was a little weird and the paint job overall was ok. It just seems like there was to much going on, and it didnt come out well. Her crossbow looks like its a fruit snack. Lol, It was just an underwhelming figure, especially for such a great character.

Yeah, the hair looks a bit like melted black Jujubes to me in the photos. Thankfully I have more than on coming so I'll likely resculpt the hair on one and probably do a repaint on the other that doesn't have the flesh showing on the thighs and the midriff. I'm just happy I'll be getting her for my Bat shelf finally.

The bummer for me is that the open part of her stomach, the paint isnt really good, so it kinda looks like she has a hairy stomach, which is gross.

That happened to Fire with me. She got to NJ on the post office tracking but Mattel had her listed as arrived at my local PO. Called the PO and it turns out they don't handle the figures until they arrive in town, until then it's a third party shipping company. My Fire eventually arrived a week or so late.

Yeah, but this is the first time that I've never had any tracking info for anything...usually takes 5-7 days to reach me from Canadian customs...just weird

You don't have any tracking? Mine tracked across the US stopping in multiple places until it got to NJ, then it went off the grid for a week before suddenly appearing locally. It kind of makes me wonder about this third-party shipped and Mattel's high shipping cost. I can ship the same box for about $5-$6 through UPS, I wonder if Mattel shipped straight through UPS if that would've cost less? I'd never mention that on the mattyforum though because the fruitcakes would come out of the woodwork again and I'm honestly hoping they just go away.
