How's it goin', everybody!
Sebastian here, back in the year 2016 with a brand new unboxing.
I cannot believe the new year is already upon us! But fear not, we've got unboxings to do all throughout the year,
so I can't wait to get started.
So let's begin with the Power Girl Premium Format Statue from Sideshow Collectibles.
I can't wait to put this on my shelf. I absolutely love the character of Power Girl, she is my favorite
Kryptonian and my favorite superheroine. I also can't wait to put this next to my All-Star Comics #58.
I love this character a lot; she's cocky, she's confident, she's funny, she owns her own business AND
can kick butt like Superman. So, let's get started on this unboxing.
And I do want to apologize in advance, this is the largest item I've had to unbox thus far and I didn't have a
large enough neutral background to shoot it on. But that's okay, hopefully you'll let it slide.
Let's get to work.
Alrighty, guys. Here we have the front end of the box and I absolutely love the art. The art is by Stanley Lau,
who is an amazing artist, Artgerm on Deviantart and he also has a YouTube channel,
I'll throw the link down below in the description. He has amazing art demos.
You should definitely not miss them.
The box--very, very simple. Very minimal. On the sides and the back, the front end.
I absolutely love Sideshow boxes. The love and care put into these boxes and their designs
always blows me away. And the main piece of art here--which is also the control art for the statue--
represents, I think, everything that I love about the character. And if you wanna learn more about
the character, I do recommend picking up the Showcase All-Star Comics--I believe it's volume 2--
that has issue 58, her first appearance in it, plus a lot of the issues afterwards.
Geoff Johns' JSA run, from the 2000s, amazing--she features as one of the headline characters.
And Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti's Power Girl series--absolutely amazing. It is full of heart and
heroism, do not miss that book. The art is gorgeous, the stories are absolutely fun.
And I believe the statue itself exudes everything about the character that a lot of creators over many decades
have tried to put forward. This box is absolutely gorgeous, let's take a look at what's inside.

Alright, now that we've got the top off, we can clearly see that the statue comes in what looks to be three parts.
We have the main base. I love the cratered base. The main body of the figure, the arms are attached.
The only thing detached from the figure, by the look of it, is the head and the cape.
Now, I have to find where the cape is in the box.
After minutes of searching, the cape was taped to the underside of the top half of the box.
Now that it is found, we can get to assembly.
[Assembles statue stealthily]
Alrighty, guys. Now that the piece is fully assembled, let's talk about the parts.
The head is a separate piece, the main body is a separate piece and the base is a separate piece,
and the cape is attached to the body with the gold button here that is essentially a pin that
goes down into the shoulder area. Very, very nice. I think it's a very effective way of attaching it.
And the cape--I love having capes on Sideshow and Hot Toys pieces that have the wire around the edge.
You can form this any way you want to give it that little bit something, you know,
you're adding your own touch to the piece.
Now, the one thing I do love about Sideshow above all else is they capture a moment in time,
and this piece shows a lot of emotion, its grace and victory and it exudes confidence.
It's almost like Jimmy Olsen, in the last seconds after the fight, has run out into the street
and taken a photo of her in victory, standing over her opponent.
And I absolutely love that Sideshow does an amazing job of showing that "snapshot" in time.
It's almost like a three-dimensional photo of a character and you can sit it on your shelf at home.
It's absolutely gorgeous and I absolutely love the base, the cratered base with her feet imprints, the boot prints
in the ground, is a really, really nice touch of her touchdown at the beginning of the fight
and then her pose after the fight. Really, really awesome stuff.
It's not very expensive at all, it's $399. And if you like Power Girl, or if you're into female superheroes,
this piece captures the essence of the character-- very much like the Wonder Woman that they did for D.C.
captures that attitude, that warrior-esque attitude of Wonder Woman--this captures that cockiness of
Power Girl and the confidence of Power Girl. And I think that shows a very nice dichotomy between the two.
Really, really beautiful piece. I absolutely love it and it's definitely going next to to my Superman
as the companion piece. Awesome stuff.
Thank you very much for watching, guys. I hope you enjoyed the video and I hope you'll stayed tuned
through 2016, hopefully I've got a lot of good stuff to show ya.
Thank you again for watching.
