SS just screwed the pooch with this one.
Yeah, i too preferred the OG EX hair to this one.

I'm not saying they shouldn't push the boundaries but I think they can do it in a way that keeps the more generic facial features and leaves them a little more open to interpretation.
Agree 100%

Rogue is prime example. I can see Fergie AND Angelina in her portrait. One of those two women is more attractive to me than the other, but NEITHER of them do I see as "Rogue".

I don't want my statues to look like actors doing cosplay. It's starting to seem like SS is doing their own fan-casting on female statues. You don't see this happening with the male figures because they are keeping them more generic.

I'm not surprised SS just changed the hair and used the same face. They've done it on many of their statues; Batgirl to name one. Ariel Winters never looked better

Not going to lie - I wouldn't mind one bit if they modeled Storm after a younger Angela Bassett.

Totally agree. I'd like my superheroes to look like the comic characters in comics, not look like actors/actresses.
