Seems like the portrait keeps getting worse. I can't believe this was approved and is selling well. She's supposed to have butterfly face, not butterface.

I think because there’s collectors committed to getting the whole team from Sideshow regardless if they’re not all home runs. Same thing with the JL and Batman villains line from Sideshow.

I don't any of them. Lighting helps to a degree. Even perfect lighting can't save that portrait.




I bet this portrait would look good, even in less than favourable lighting.

And every 60 pages or so the original rears her beautiful head

That second image. Perfection.

Yup, in nearly all the pics from last years SDCC, that original portrait was beautiful!

I was set to buy her after seeing her last year at SDCC. Then they had to switch the portraits. So I'm passing.

Now I'm waiting for the next 1/4 scale Psylocke statue to be released.

I had my partner look at all 4 pics. He said the original was the nicest. When I pointed out to him how it evolved and what people got in the mail. He said that it was just awful. I have to agree, she looks terrible.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
