If you think this statue looks like a white woman you need to get out more and spot some white people.

It already has. Psylocke is a pretty popular X-Men character and the EX only has an ES of 600. X-23 is more than double.
This Psylocke needs to be completely scrapped. It's horrible. The base is trash too.

Oh Psylocke looks Asian, but not the Asian country of either her character or Jim Lee. She looks closest to Russian or Eastern European. Just because you elongate eyes does NOT make an Asian portrait. And THAT was the factor that I think most people focused on with the original portrait.
In turn, SS gave us a face that looks too long and is too small for the body. And nothing that looks Asian or like Jim Lee art. There is no fullness to her face. Her lips are too thin. He nose looks like she's had a bad nose job since it's also too thin.
If you think this looks like a Japanese or Korean woman - I am stunned.
This statue went from a day one PO to FThis when SS went so left on this statue. Beautiful body, pose, and base (yep, I like it) just wasted.

I don't care what race she appears to be. The first portrait made me want to buy the statue. The second portrait is an easy pass.

Yep, can't believe they ruined one of Marvel's hottest female characters. Let's hog the good licenses but not give anyone comic book accuracy.

ITA. I said it before and stick by it -- that original portrait was one of the best SS has ever made. Pics at conventions with facing striaght ahead were amazing. Stunning.

Totally agree. I was very eager to PO, but then they made that change to the face, so I decided no to buy it anymore.
