Psylocke

[FJC]

Personally, the only statues I really like of Psylocke are the Kotobukiya Psylocke by Sosa and the sideshow comiquette.

XM do us Justice and make it look Asian. Just include another sculpt face beside you sent out your stuff and BAM problem solved.

REMEMBER XM IT WAS THE CUSTOMER WHO PAYS FOR THE STATUE, NOT MARVEL/DISNEY.

XM would have to buy Disney for that to happen lol. I agree, I want a Japanese Psylocke. If I want a Caucasian statue, I have my pick of 10 million others. It's weird they can do the Jim Lee suit, but not the portrait.

Yes, I meant Betsy is no longer in the asian body. So XM apparently can only do a Eurasian portrait at best. Of course we complained in the FB groups a while back. Licensing is a funny thing. We'll just have to see if any other companies release the asian portrait in the future.

Disney ain't buying the statues, it is us the customer who buy the statues. Dude XM can just include it the swap out for another head piece.

When I think about Psylocke, I think about the of the X-MEN 90's with Jim Lee Art. For F sakes she wields Katanas.

Right, but Disney/Marvel owns Psylocke and has to approve what XM designs. I'm sure XM originally sent in a proper Psylocke design that fans want the most, but it was not approved.

The IS Psylocke with the crimson dawn tattoo is pretty good as well, but only 1/10.

Psylocke seems like one of those characters that is extremely reliant on the early 90s. Basically, she will always be stuck as the Jim Lee character no matter how hard Marvel tries. Everything everyone is saying just boils down to "I wish she looked like how Jim Lee depicted her in the early 90s."

The buried body still existed meaning she was really recreated by Jaime but maintained her Asian form because this is what Betsy wanted. Her real return to her British body first happened because of the Sisterhood that ended up Betsy burning her British body to prevent further manipulation by anyone while this is happening the Asian body was in a catatonic state... meaning Kwannon remained dead. The 3rd death is the latest one with the Madripoor incident where British Psylocke returned and Kwannon is literally ressurected. Point here is... Betsy has willed it to be in Kwannon’s body even when she could have chosen to be back in her original body.

Wait what...I am sure after Madripoor, she took her original body and became Captain Britain. Kwannon got her original body back.

Like I said in one of my last posts, I could easily buy the black and pink outfit. I grew up with Jim Lee's Psylocke, so that will always be my favorite, but I also really love the black and pink.

Yeah I have the Sisterhood arc. Including that JSC variant cover for issue #510. So glad I got it the day it came out NM for maybe $10 or $15? Considering what it sells for now.

My point was that Kwannon was dead. Even if Betsy would have gone back to her original body at some point, what did it matter? It would’ve just been her own personal decision to go back, because there was no one to actually switch bodies with. Kwannon was dead. I just don’t see her as more of a victim than Psylocke. Also, cool character now, but again, Kwannon was a crime lord’s assassin. She killed who he said kill. Not a very good person, I don’t feel sorry for that fictional character lol.
