I am so very
pleased that Mattel has seen fit to release a Black Canary figure.
This is something we would have never seen under Hasbro's rule.
So first off, thank you Mattel. Thank you for making the fans happy.
That being said,
there is room for improvement. Poor Dinah's face is not only off-model,
it's just plain weird looking. When I first saw photos of the released
figure, I I though the issue was simply the paint applications,
and could be easily corrected with another paint job. Sadly, this
was not the case. The face sculpt is... odd. (See the image below.)
The eyes are far too close together. So I removed the hair and swapped
the head with an animated Witchblade figure. With an accurate paint
job, I'm much happier with the figure now.
I also added
the boot cuffs with Kneadatite.
Again, thanks
for making a Black Canary Mattel. I don't mind making a few corrections,
as long as we keep seeing new characters on the pegs.
