At the time the sculptor mentioned they had sculpted two portraits from the outset (at the request of Sideshow). Her words to describe the two portraits were 'European' and 'Asian'. The reasoning behind creating two portraits was to give Sideshow a choice. As we know, given what was shown at a Con, Sideshow went with the European portrait first. Sadly Sideshow had a rethink after taking on board negative feedback. My guess is, if Sideshow had shown the Asian portrait first, the feedback would have been even more negative, and possibly Sideshow would have gone with the Asian portrait.

This part is infuriating lol, so she said and is confirming this?

LOL I said that a long time ago that both were going to be offered and the good one was nixed because of all the tranny comments.

Oh well, it's too late now. All we can do is hope XM does one that doesn't look like an alien.

Saddens me everytime i hear it, this is the first i'm hearing it said from the sculptor though.

Alright everyone, let’s keep it respectful. I’m done with the insults being hurled at one another in these X-Men threads. Next time I see one I’ll be issuing a ban.

Thundercats-NO, once again you’re walking a thin line. If you can’t have a civil discussion without insulting people while debating opposing views then I suggest refraining altogether. And enough with the endless double posts!

The worst part is, they were probably coming from people who had no intention of buying it anyways.

You realize no one is intentionally double posting, right?

This is something that came about after Sideshow first showed Psylocke PF at a Con. This is something we know only as the result of post's here on StatueForum (assumptions have been made). What was discussed at Sideshow HQ we will never know.

All the sculptor said was she supplied two versions of a portrait, European and Asian, to give Sideshow a choice, as requested by Sideshow. It (the email) was all positive. I don't want to get the sculptor into trouble, or prevent them from getting more work in the future. For the record, the sculptor said very little

Please do that next time someone uses the derogatory term for a transgender person.

I’ll be sure to report it.

Gotcha

I just want a portrait that looks like Psylocke. I am not obsessed about race, categories, labels, etc.
