MSRP: $125
Price I Paid: $50 + tax
Edition Size: 5000
Statue Scale: 1/7
Designed by Joelle Jones
Sculpted by Jack Mathews
When DC Collectibles up-sized the Cover Girls statues from 1/8-scale to 1/7-scale, the MSRP went up from $100 to $125 (same as the Bombshells statues, which are also 1/7-scale). For some reason, GameStop listed the Mera by Joelle Jones statue for $50 and Free Shipping from August to December of 2018. Unlike Amazon, GameStop did a great job packing the statue inside the shipping box. This is definitely one of the best deals of 2019.
This face sculpt resembles Joelle Jones the most out of all of her statues so far. The crazy big hair is very detailed, and you may be tempted to display the statue backwards every so often just to admire the hair sculpt. There seems to be a bit of excess material between her breasts, though I've seen this on other statues' cleavages.
The base is the biggest difference between this statue and its cohorts. The ocean waves are flowing upwards against the pull of gravity due to Mera's hydrokinesis. Thus, you don't see Joelle Jones's signature. The statue is slightly wobbly because it's attached to the base with only one peg, though I think DC wants to avoid a common problem with past statues, where statues with pegs in two legs/feet couldn't be attached to their bases since the leg positions had warped during storage and shipment.
