I just opened the magic box to inspect the parts.
Just .. wow!
The scale is roughly 1/5 and the castings are PERFECT.
All pieces are really clean and the details are awesome!
There are small hints at seam lines which will be a breeze to clean up.
I've heard comments of her head being "too wide" and too big, but holding the face part (nice touch with the hair as a one piece cap, btw!!!) it's not that bad, though there is room for "improvements" if you're a basically skilled modeler.
I think I will rather prolong her chin rather than carve away at the sides.
Also, her torso feels a bit short, and this is a really easy fix by adding about 1cm (0,4") to the upper armor to better resemble the original drawing and even out her proportions.
Here's a snap composite of what I am hinting at.
At a pricetag of $140 (+ shipping), this is a REALLY nice rendition of Casca and will; I am sure, paint up out of the box to a very nice statue.
If you're willing to put a few hours extra work into her, she'll be an absolute Masterpiece!
A huge Thank You to Ehren (Silvia) for listening to us fans deciding to cast her.
