Here's a picture of her next to the Kotobukiya Joker, from the Killing Joke. I put them together since they have a close.. history.
She looks amazing, holds herself just fine, even looks gorgeous.

She looks 13.

Well, she looks exactly like how they draw her now in the comics, so it's a good thing.
And she acts like a vapid teenager in High School. The Batgirl of Burnside comic is God Awful.
Still, It's a nice statue .

I have to concur. The current Batgirl comic is definitely aimed at middle school aged girls. That being said, I still love the design of the character.
If middle school girls are buying it, I think that's awesome. If grown men are buying it, that seems a bit odd.

I know it's old news at this point, but I just got my replacement Batwoman from BBTS. I knew there was no guarantee that it would be any better, but decided to roll the dice. This one is better in some spots and worse in others. It has paint chips, sloppy paint and weird spots all over the place. Not willing to go through the whole return process again since this was a gift, it was kind of a pain, so I will be keeping it. It is very disappointing, though that DC feels this level of QC is acceptable.

The level of detail and finishings are very very different with the Joker and Harley statue. I think they might use different factories? the Joker and Harley one is amazing. I mean it really looks premium.

Those aren't holes, they're paint spots.
As I stated in the above post, I did return my first Batwoman and this is the second. It was a gift and the return process was a pain in the butt, so I'm not going to go through that again, especially since it appears pretty much all of the Batwoman statues are pretty bad.
Some have posted that they have good ones, but nobody has actually posted pics, despite people asking.
Does that make it any better/acceptable?
When this statue first came out a LCS owner/employee posted pics on FB just like yours.... every one of 5(?) pieces they got had the same problems, including, as they also described, the holes/depressions in the hair. There were obvious mold issues with the piece.
I can overlook a lot, but this is bad. I still would recommend you return it. I guess if you are collecting the entire line, then it's a must have, but otherwise, I'd exchange it for a different statue. Why is it such a hassle? Are you international?

Mine too. Hoping it will be better than Batwoman. Wonder what the delay was, hasn't this been out for months?

No, doesn't make it acceptable, just being accurate. There are pinholes/bumps other places on the statue.
I am not collecting the whole line, but even though this is a crappy quality statue, I still like the design of the character. It is a hassle to return because it was a gift ordered by someone else who lives in a different city on their account.

Yeah, I agree it isn't acceptable on DCC's part, but I'd be able to overlook the flaws from a normal viewing distance. I love the design as well (my favorite Bombshell, along with Hawkgirl and Ivy.) Hopefully the returns signal to DCC that they need to step up their QC for upcoming releases.

Yes. I was actually thinking about that on my way to work tonight. From a normal viewing distance, it still looks decent. Although the flaws are significant, you pretty much have to pick it up and look at it from about 12 inches away to see them.
