Yes, I could have been more specific, I was talking about the other X-Men females.

Yes, more animated looking portrait.

I know you and I are on the same page of "real person inspired" versus "drawn" portraits. I really like the original portrait because it was the perfect blend of realism, but art.

Psylocke, like Captain Marvel and Dark Phoenix, was perfect because it looked straight off a splash page or cover.

X-23 is now the best of the new X-Female bunch for this reason too.

Well this is very disappointing. Was really looking forward to making my first Marvel purchase. Oh well, maybe next time.

Yeah, I was going to jump on board with this one as well when she had the original headsculpt but unfortunately this became a PASS for me. The new portrait just doesn't match with the body style at all. The face just looks too thin and it's not proportionate to the body shape / size. Although it's not horrible, I just can't justify spending $585 + shipping on this if I won't be completely happy with the final product. Maybe I'll change my mind once I see some In-Hand pics or when my buddy gets his. I can do without the EX.

Congrats to everyone who'll be picking her up when she becomes available for PO, I'll admire from afar.

A simultaneously easy/difficult pass for me.

Easy because I have no interest in the updated portrait, but difficult because I really would’ve loved to own the piece as it was at SDCC.

No matter how many times it's sad -- the pricing system for SS is baffling.
