I'm a casual fan of Green Arrow, primarily through motion picture adaptations such as the CW's Arrow and Justice League Unlimited.  I like Diamond's PVC statue of Stephen Amell much more than their statues of Grant Gustin or Melissa Benoist, but since I already have the 1/6-scale statues based on those actors by DC Collectibles, I decided to get this statue instead.  It's supposed to be based on his appearance in the comics, but since I actually have more of Diamond's DCAU statues rather than the "comics" versions, I'm glad that it resembles Green Arrow's design in Justice League Unlimited.  I can display it with Black Canary.

QC is good overall, though there are some areas with excess glue.  I like the attempt at giving the statue extra detail, such as the battle damage scratches on the back of the quiver and shoulder pads.  The bow is made from a softer plastic than the rest of the statue, so you can actually pull the bow string and bend the bow.  Just don't go overboard, though, lol.

Like most other Diamond products based on DC Comics characters, this statue is becoming scarce.  BBTS still has it for less than MSRP, so I recommend getting it from them sooner rather than later.
