But not totally surprising. It's not like she's been universally drawn that way since the body switch anyway.

And I think they tried to use the 'makeup' to shortcut it.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I'm not so sure I can say the same about this statue unfortunately. If it wasn't for the body or the long hair......

But again it's great that most on this board seem to be totally on board with the statue.
This doesnt look like a woman to you?!

I'm at a lost for words lol.

Cover up her costume, take away her hair color. Would’ve told you that it was the portrait for X-23. Would’ve even said it was for Rogue before choosing Psylocke.

Only my own personal opinion. I was more or less okay with the other headsculpts which received the same complaint from a few. Don't know why this one seems to be getting to me.

Well it doesn't really matter. As I've said most on this forum love the statue, and at the end of the day that's what matters.

It’s Caucasian cosplay Psylocke.
Well at least the statue has the flatter/smaller nose structure that a lot of East Asians women have.

But as for the other features......

I wonder if it is more this issue than my other one that is causing my original concerns with the facesculpt? Because as I said I didn't have a real dislike for the other Sideshow female headsculpts.

Those qualities are not reserved for men only.
This is exactly how you convey your opinion in the right way. Like everything else, there is a right and wrong way of giving an opinion.

Tito’s on the rocks here....and even if I hadn’t had a drop.....this is a beautiful piece. Love it! If there is one critique, like another poster said, the eyebrows look over plucked. Could use some more eyebrow.

There is an actress it reminds me of. I just can’t think of her right now.
