Regardless of which portrait people preferred - and I liked the original more - I think it's reasonable to expect both options standard at these rising prices.

ITA -- this would have made everybody happy and still given SS a solid profit margin.

Yea, I don't see why we can't have both portraits. Such a simple solution, IMO.

Maybe price for production will go down, allowing more money to be spend on painting.

Businesses normally find a way to save but not to give away the extra's money saved. It's cost cutting by giving the same thing with less cost. If they use the extra funds they would still be losing out on the goal to save money. In the end the numbers is all that matters at any corporation. Sure they have to make money but again every new managements first goal is to cut cost and hopefully make the ceo happy by meeting those numbers and getting a huge bonus. The rest of the workers will just need to push harder with less employees, and more work for the same pay overall. Everyone is so replaceable working for someone else.

It is also bordering on sexism, fascism, humanism, communism, socialism, and all other constructs from the human race. Science is the real evil that tries to categorize things in the observable world and make sense of it. What was the artist thinking to try and translate how they see a character and define characteristics or even make their own art. The Internet will get you in line with those strong words like racist to get you to submit. Resistance is futile.

Yes, please do. I know many of us want a new Psylocke, and who knows...she could be great in person. Pretty bummed by the change, because the original was exceptional.
