Nice adjustments! I know it's nitpicking and we gotta respect some artist license...but you captured a few things here that would really help.

If only one adjustment could be made, I'd say it's in the mouth. The fuller lips, better representation of her teeth, are really the things that make it not look like our Brazilian fighter.

It's a lot better.

From there, I think making her less cheekboney would get her closer.

While its indeed a sexy statue, Having Laura as the first Female statue in their PCS swimsuit line is a risky move on their part IMO. If they really want to test the waters on this new line, I think its safe that they start with the A listers and more popular ones, and you know the "IT GIRLS OF SF" Chun Li and Cammy. Yes it may be random that they always start with these two girls, but at the end of the day, its still business and they need to sell these statues.

While Chun-Li is regarded as no.1 when it cames to SF female fighters, many regard Laura M. as an equal.

I don't know who thinks they're equal but they're mad lol.

Chun Li an icon of videogames, the first female fighter, recognized worldwide...

Laura.....woman from SFV, Seans sister...most people haven't heard of her...

Maybe. Found this epic image



If there is another Laura piece, which i like to think there will be, i hope they capture the dynamic, muscle tone, Brazilian aliveness, large hand, large feet that makes Laura Matsuda the stand of SF character she is. I've passed on the PCS Bikini effort. The idea is ok, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Thumbs up to the use of clear resin, as like that aspect of the piece.



I'm going to hold out for this outfit. Maybe they could put clear resin to use in an effect like the one above, or some movement lines like the image below

that would be a good addition for the 1/6 v-trigger line.

Couldn't agree more.

With the 1/6 line PCS used the 3D model data from the game as far as i'm aware. I don't think that was the case with Laura Bikini 1/4 scale. For the moment, there is no news on the sculptor.

1/6 would be an awesome scale for me because I don't want to spend extra money or space for laura, I want a Laura statue but not this 1/4 big. I rather save the money and spot for a 1/4 ultra blanka. I am facing this exact dilemma with another pcs. I have recently got a 1/4 vega ultra(traded) and even though it is a great statue(AP p2) I don't know if I want to keep him since I don't exclusively focus on sf statues.

The chest size is way too small for the character and her face looks really off too. I'm not a fan of Laura, but this statue is not a good realization of her. I hope it is not going to be a standard for this line.
