I was wondering , the difference between it and the horizon bride kit.
is it more detailed, better, more accurate, taller? post pictures if you can, please.

Here are two photos I found through the Clubhouse's Model Museum.

Billiken Bride by John Comito; sorry for the size:

Horizon Bride by Jim Capone:

To me, the Billiken Bride is superior. Her features are sharper and her robe looks more natural. However, there's no doubt that they look similar. Price is a consideration; aside from a recent fluke eBay auction that closed near $100, I'd say you could usually find a Horizon Bride for $25 or less. The Billiken, on the other hand, would probably run at least $150.

thanks for the picture.
I have a horizon bride, but have never seen a billiken in person or in a close up picture until now.,
the billiken does look better than the horizon one, after seeing this picture.

I'd only seen pictures of the two before I was finally able to get a Billiken Bride for a decent amount. Haven't assembled or painted her yet but just looking at the vinyl and the pictures of all the Horizon buildups, I agree that the Billiken sculpt is the best.

Actually the face of the Horizon one (based on those photos) looks better to me

You have to admit that both look like they were sculpted by the same artist.

i wonder if billiken's bride is taller, the horizon seems a little short.
