/Google's 'Hailee Steinfeld' . . .

I see, i kinda agree. I'm seeing Kirstie Alley with Hailee Steinfeld's nose.
I think there could be another celeb that matches more. I'm sure the penny will drop soon enough.

My point is that SS needs to be held accountable for the engineering and at no point in Rogue's early stages did the faces/voice of SS have any idea what was going. Great, if they don't know the exact engineering - just say so. Say it's "being evaluated for durability because of XYZ", but don't sit there like crickets and act like collectors/buyers are asking stupid questions that have no merit.

In my heart of hearts I truly believe that if Rogue had not broken - which she did despite them claiming otherwise - SS would have sent her out constructed with weaker attachment points and just said too bad, it's over 30 days old to the customers when their statues broke.

Going forward I would like to think that SS gets the importance of being knowledgeable from the beginning. We clearly appreciate it and it's not hard to do - at all. Other companies do it, why do people keep making excuses for SS not being more communicative and transparent?

I'm certainly not doing that. I'm all for transparency.

Honestly I think the negativity of the community prevents alot of that interaction. But when the production piece is out they should be able to answer all questions about materials and engineering.

Sorry, that wasn't directed at you specifically. Just a general statement about posts I've seen in the past.

I am honestly surprised it took this long to get Starfire. I mean c'mon, look at her haha.

Really like the art direction on this piece but as others have noted, I wish she was more orange.

I understand that and will wait patiently.

My problem with this piece is that her pose and expression don't match Starfire's personality. My experience with the character is limited to the Marv Wolfman/George Perez issues, but she always came off as sweet and, while possessing a killer body in a skimpy outfit, completely unaware of her sexuality. The "come hither" expression on this piece just doesn't fit her naive charm.

Or maybe she was portrayed differently by other writers/artists?

Been looking at this some more. I like the fact that the pose is quite original for 1/4 PF
I picture the Starfire in the same pose as Captain Marvel PF or Aspen PF, and while that would be acceptable, i like it that Sideshow are coming up with new poses. The Rogue flying pose is exceptional ..likewise, the Lady Deadpool kicking pose looks amazing!

I find the green stuff in her left hand looks odd, like she is playing with a blob of green slim. It fails to look like green fire power.

I like this dynamic pose:


..which leads me onto - will the EX have eye's like the image above?

New 52 version was very sexual and aware.
