Ditto! If she happens, I will get almost all of my most wanted x-men female heroes. Sideshow’s X-men line is going so strong. Hoping she gets revealed or teased during 12 days of sideshow

The way I always tell in photos which is the original and which was the final is the way the cloth shirt meets the sculpted neck. The original portraits rested over the cloth, on the revised statue the cloth simply touches the neck.

Between sculpt changes, heads (2 PFs with a total of SIX heads after revisions), paint issues, and release strategies Sideshow has yet to release a Psylocke Premium Format without some sort of controversy attached. Psylocke just can’t catch a break with SS.

Wow, I've never seen the OG original Psylocke PF heads before. Call me crazy but I actually really like this original regular portrait. Regardless the final heads both turned out great, and I'll be sticking with the OG PF since i missed out yesterday. Can't complain...too much 😉

I felt I missed out on green Phoenix, especially since she’s a top 10 character for me, but now I don’t even care and I still love Jean as a character.

Indeed, the real surprise is 2 low ES Variants this year. We all figured there’d be one, but 2 in one year was definitely unexpected.
People who hated Storm's portrait as as nuts as those who hated this Psylocke portrait.

I could have purchased the White Storm, but never did. It bothers me that the costume is so inaccurate. It is kinda close to Simone Binachi's design, but then not even really.

This Psylocke however, I will be on the hunt for. I need this. I WANT this. I am extra jealous of anybody who has the original PF and scored this too.

Sadly, vindictive loudmouths have sway on these forums, unless many more speak-up, the trend will continue.
I went back in this thread to see the initial reaction

+ shakex, khev, punisher2000, ukshaun, crimsinwing1989, Indomitus, dechircio7, Vracula, pdenham, GenoToys, AC_808, NorthernLadMSP, Shaughn54, Vecchio1, TBolt, Darkcross, Sonicobra,

- MPCanes, hordeall, Remember Me?, oddly sober, hunnipot85, haljordan99,

Some comments were a mix bag so hard to categorize, if any member listed wants to correct me, don't intend to mischaracterize anyone.

I'd say the piece was a bit split, but over all forum seemed positive with some descent.

Or maybe SS intentionally made the head sculpt worse to punish the vocal minority.

Yep. And it wouldn't surprise me if there was something cool today, being that it is Halloween.
