SUMMARY:
Released by Sideshow Collectibles in 2018, this limited-edition Zatanna Zatara statue (including a circular stage-like base) is approximately two feet tall and weighs twelve pounds. Tipping her top hat, the Justice League’s Mistress of Magic slyly conceals a wand and a trio of playing cards behind her back.
Please note that Zatanna’s statue must be semi-assembled. Specifically, her head and her separate hands are carefully packaged in the box and require attachment to the statue (at least, it’s easy to do). The statue (along with its deluxe upgrade: a white rabbit) must be inserted onto the sturdy support base.
REVIEW:
Minus her excessive ‘eye shadow,’ this Zatanna statue’s production qualities are superb. The product exactly matches its promotional photo.
Specifically, in addition to the spot-on facial features, her attire’s painted portions (her black top hat and knicker shorts, as well as her gleaming black patent leather pumps) seamlessly blend with her shimmery, real black fabric tailcoat; a white fabric vest; and actual black fishnet stockings. Complete with a deluxe packing box (as seen below), it meets all expectations for a Sideshow Collectibles statue.
One should still keep in mind that this towering statue won’t fit on an average shelf with similar collectibles. Considering the hazards of accidental damage, an ideal display location may be either an encased cabinet or atop a tall bookcase that is out of reach from children and pets. Ultimately, Sideshow’s Zatanna Zatara proves a dazzling gem for her fans and/or statue collectors.
BONUS FEATURES:
As mentioned, this statue’s ‘exclusive’ upgrade is a magician’s white rabbit.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 10 Stars
Note: Seen below in Photo # 3 is a height comparison between this two-foot Zatanna statue standing on its base and Tonner’s 16-inch Zatanna doll to demonstrate the potential display location dilemma.
