I'd been reluctant to get Cheetah despite low prices due to being familiar with only the prototype's face, but I finally saw close-up shots of the final production piece. It's different, and I think it's an improvement.

1) The eyebrows are less arched.
2) There's no heavy eyelid make-up.
3) The lower lip isn't pulled as low.
Definitely gonna get one now.
