yeah, I ws noticing that about the teeth too.
It could be the vagaries of un professional in-home photography, or it could be intrinsic to how these survived the casting process.
Do the heads here feel like PVC or polystone?

They've definitely been mixing more plastics in for the hair, but the X-MEN line has been polystone (just different plastic/stone powder ratios for certain parts).
If you're interested, you can fix the teeth using watered down layers of acrylic airbrush paint. I used base white (very thin consistency) and brushed on a few layers in-between the affected teeth. Did this for Thor and they no longer look rotted out. Can't stress enough how this the paint needs to be though -must be thin.

Just received my shipping notice. I had 3 payments remaining, and decided to pay'em off. Looking forward to seeing X-23 in person, and how the piece will compare to Rogue and Elektra

X-23 ($590.00) DHL Import charge $133.56
Rogue ($715.00) DHL Import charge $140
Elektra ($542.46) DHL Import charge $44.69
I guess X-23 ships in a big box similar to Rogue, as the import fee as about the same. Elektra shipped in a smaller box.

X-23 arrived today. It failed to impress in the same way Rouge and Elektra impressed.
The first thing that struck me was the small size of X-23. Her head sculpt is borderline 1/5th scale.

I was unaware of her age. I'd put her Angelina Jolie face at between 24 - 28yo. If she is a teenager, then she must be 19 with that face. The piece has 1/5 scale vibes, no matter what twist you want to put on it
..i'm keeping the piece. It don't rank up there with Elektra and Rogue.

Agreed.
X-23 is officially listed as 5'1"
Elektra is officially listed as 5'9"
Rogue is officially listed as 5'8"
X-23 should look more petite, even in statue form.
