Here are some pics of the Raven figurine.

She is nice, but she doesn't have the Classic Perez look.

In 2 weeks, Donna Troy !!! But I don't know which characters will be the next ones ...

Thanks for the photos, Richard. The cowl isn't shaped as well as it could be, which is disappointing. As you said, not the classic Perez design.

Still a nice sculpt mind you, but not quite as nice as it could be.

There is little of George's Raven in that sculpt -- even allowing for how
much the character changed while he was working on TEEN TITANS. Her
distinctive face is not in evidence at all.

Still, she fares better than Starfire!!!

The beautiful distinctive face George gave Raven was one of the things that
appealed to me most about the character: she didn't look like any other
heroine in comics.

One of the things that has most impressed me -- of many! -- about
George's work, is the attention he has put into developing distinctive faces
for the characters.

The real thing is a lot bluer than the preview pics.

Raven needs little improvements to really look like the Perez version :

  • add 2 Raven symbols on the cape buttons (after painting them in yellow)
  • add 2 golden jewels on her ears
  • add some black on the top of her face (the top of her face is hidden by the cowl, she doesn't wear a mask)

I have some pics of Donna Troy, with stars painted on her costume à la Captain Marvel (the Marvel one !) and she is nice !
