I own that WW, her eyes aren't tilted/angled. It's a shadow effect in that pic.

They were tilted using Photoshop

The new portrait reminds me of the Sideshow Wonder Woman with the eye's tilted + the mouth from the Taarna PF

There are still some problem with new face which is better than original one though.

The more I look at the new sculpt the more I like it. The hairstyle I like better, it is her comic look. Portrait looks more Asian as well. Could be better still, can’t wait for new photos.

Its possible but seems unlikely that after a majority positive response at sdcc marvel/disney would request a new portrait be resculpted to replace the original one.

Not saying Disney requested the change but I highly doubt Disney knows how it was received at SDCC.

Interestingly...the first Psylocke PF also had her portrait changed back in the day.

This is where SS could take a page out of XM’s book and offer two head sculpts (2 to 3 sculpts is the norm for XM, a rare exception being Ghost Rider). And at current prices, ALL statues should come with AT LEAST two head sculpts.

Yup. Esp at these ridiculous prices.

Which is why i doubt that disney cared to request a change in the first place. I believe that this is all SS, ultimately they decided to change magneto after negative feedback, even though they didn't have to.
