I think the Tigra is a pretty good sculpt. I like the "vampire" teeth...an artist needs to sell the point that Tigra isn't just another woman in a cat costume. I'm glad it isn't a basic "Stand still while we take your driver's license photo" pose. These folks always put some personality into their sculpts. Tigra needs to be in motion.
My only worry is that the figures that ship won't look nearly as nice as this one-off sample. That's a lot of detail. The sample has precisely-drawn stripes, and the white highlights on the teeth and the ornamental claws are carefully applied. But I wonder if when it comes time to produce these in bulk, the embellishers will be going blort-blort-blort with the brush to make their deadline.
I've had that problem with these figurines. They look awesome in the solicit, but when I see them in the store...whoof, it's kind of a crapshoot.
Are there figure painters who accept "commissions" to upgrade the detailing on these figures?
