I want to like this more than I do - I want more Batman villains, but I completely agree that this Ivy looks too anime-ish and without a few more visual clues she seems a touch too simple and dare I say boring?
The Ivy's I grew up with didn't have green skin - but I can't help but feel in this case that it would improve the look of this figure considerably.
I think I will wait till we have an Arkham Ivy - 3rd party or not.
.... or I'll wait till this figure is being sold on the market for well below its current retail cost.....

I’m not sure if you’ve seen many of these Phicen type figures on the secondary market but they usually go for way higher prices than retail once they are sold out on all sites. Check out 1/6 Vampirella, Lady Death, Purgatori, etc.

I think the figure looks pretty darn cool in those pics... but in hand without the photoshopped backdrop I can see it looking a whole lot cheesier. And the outfit probably a lot cheaper and rubbery looking. Certainly not worth paying $230 for.

Looking forward to some photos!

OSK invoice paid. Now the long wait for delivery, pics, or a review whichever comes first.

Mine arrived today. Box is pretty big -- mainly to accommodate all the plant parts. I have to say, I'm not unhappy with it. The sculpt is pretty, if a bit over-sized, but it seems to match the stylized look fine. You definitely need to move the eyes off center, as they give the sculpt more personality -- and gets rid of the usual zombie stare. Here's a quick shot, mostly out of the box (you have to put the arm and leg pieces, and the skirt on the figure. I moved the eyes ever so slightly and took a couple pics with only minor lighting differences. Still haven't figured out what I want to do with the plant elements.

I'm relatively satisfied with the figure. The head sculpt could be better. It is paint matched well with the body.

Here is a nice review with modifications:

Ivy showed up today and started hanging out with Harley. Mine had a slight side part to her hair but the scalp can be easily rotated to give the side part as shown in the prototype.

She was definitely worth it for me.
