Also kinda find it funny that non-Asians are so sure of Asian features.. kinda ironic.
Any hoot 1 payment left
The one on the left looks like this art IMO

I think the original does. Jim Lee's is more U-shaped face, the one we're getting looks V-shaped.

I still don't understand why they don't do it this way even now. I am sure they have heard the outcry from the forums and FB pages, so why not produce the 1st portrait and include it as an EX? Is it, was it, that difficult in manufacturing to negotiate and produce the additional COH?

They even have space for two portraits in the protective styrofoam....must have been pulled quite late in the process. Absolutely puzzling.
Could've been that the first head was criticized so badly that SS thought they would only be able to sell xxx number of units. As a result they pulled one of the portraits to lower production costs. Doubt we'll ever find out.

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

Well, it is the way it is, i wasnt planning to buy this one at all, until the final unboxing.
I am personally happy with this one, as i dont think the original looks asian.
They cant please all of us i suppose.

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

Im excited to get her, unboxing video I think she looks great. I like the portrait and i bet it looks really good in person, but that doesnt mean i wont be the first one to purchase a custom head if one is made.

Yup I think this is the best 1/4 Psylocke available right now. The Kotobukiya Danger Room Psylocke is still my favorite though... pure Jim Lee.

SS made many poor decisions on this statue. One is the removal/change of the first COH and another is the pose, which is very similar to the OG Psyclocke.

Yeah, the Danger Room is one of my grail pieces, took me years to get one for a reasonable price. Beautiful, and nothing else captures 90's Psylocke quite as well.

Because to answer to your post ( that’s a lot of shtit and hate) too lazy I am, to a great wise man the last word I leave ( his great wisdom to celebrate first my generation was.)
Well, yeah... Sorry for that. That agressive post, suggesting a shrink could be useful, killed me too. |
Yeah buddy.
I do agree with some of the folks that including the original portrait would have been a good business move for Sideshow. But that would have required making informed decisions by actually paying attention to what customers are saying.
Yeah buddy.
