Personally, it really doesn't matter to me, as long as she looks good. I think the improvements are a big plus and I'm glad I never cancelled my EX.

We heard this same drama from people when they debuted the Psylocke comiquette, and the same people complained that she was "too Asian."

Thanks for the explanation.

Regardless of what happened with Rogue which I own too, I didn't cancel my Psylocke EX either.

I thought the Psylocke comiquette was pretty and I'll probably get it in near future. Not the exclusive though because I can do without the print.

New head looks more like a Japanese woman now. I like it.

Agreed. I'm excited to get her, hopefully in a few short weeks.

I owned the Psylocke comiquette, and she was gorgeous. I only decided to sell her because I sold off most of my female comiquettes, to concentrate on PFs (I just kept a select few comis).

go right ahead and cancel your pre-orders because "it looks too asian".. the sad thing is you actually believe she is suppose to look caucasian, when the character is of Japanese descent.

Actually she's not. Originally, She's British as can be. She's Captain Britain's sister, was Captain Britain at one stage. Is as british as can be, but during the "Acts of vengeance" storyline, Psylocke took over the body of the head of the Hand, taking the name Lady Mandarin

The timing doesn’t add up, as this statue should really be in our hands right about now. Why are we getting a new photo shoot so late? Here’s my conspiracy theory: The statues were coming in, so Sideshow sends out the 21-day notice. They received the first batch of statues and noticed the portraits were different than the prototype. They say “Oh crap, if we send these out to customers, they are going to freak out again!” They decide to delay shipment to customers (using Chinese New Year as an excuse), while they come up with a plan. Someone comes up with the idea of doing a new photo shoot of the statue, and then say the new portraits are improvements! That way, the customers won’t go crazy again, sideshow will look good for making “improvements” and they will also save money by not going through the whole portrait replacement process agian. Brilliant!

Unfortunately, your conspiracy theory really doesn't work in this situation.

They showed us the new redesigned regular head last summer at SDCC in July of 2011.

The sculptor who re-scuplted both heads, has had many photos of the new scuplts on deviantart for quite some time.

So, while I get it's strange they just updated the Sideshow website, most people have known about this for quite some time.

Here is my take...upset collectors make up wild and ridiculous theory (some even involving Mickey mouse) when in fact it has been known for months that the head sculpts were going to be changed.

yeah , most people bash something causing other to cancel their ex orders so it comes in stock again so that they themselves can order it( hint, jessica pF :P)
