Credit where credit is due, though - at least these other companies understand SHE turns into diamond as opposed to XM who apparently thinks she turns OTHER objects into diamond.
Yep, it’s an obvious flaw which many are willing to give a pass. Same with the Prime 1 Flash where he is running “wrong”.

You have blue shading in the cape, gray shading on the costume (really? pick a color and stick with it). You have fake n' bake tan skin, orange hued "blonde" hair and awful makeup.

Thats just the lighting.

If XM just had at least her hand or arm starting to become diamond would had purchased the XM...
To be fair, unlike other x women, Emma is a less "action-y" character. Likely difficult to depict without coming across as some blonde woman doing something mundane.

IMO only a sculptor like harbottle who sculpts incredibly nice looking women would do Emma justice, given the nature of the character.

Storm's skin tone debate was a prime example of that. In-hand she is perfection with her skin tone.

That's why I don't think Emma looks bad and think she will look better in person. The reg head that is. That bob is always going to need tweeks.

People don´t want to accept the truth, because then they have nothing to troll about. I saw pictures with perfect lightning in the factory, she is a beauty.

Disagree, he messed up WW shoulders

It's to bad they couldn't of done a switch out arm that looked like it was made out of diamonds... that would of appeased more people..

For me the rose thing doesn't bother me, it's more symbolic of what she is then her having the ability to change things into diamonds. That's the way I've always looked at it...

I like the rose, I think it's classy. The chair and cape are as well. Her tits sticking way up, not so much.

Lol, the shoulders are fine, only issue i have with WW is the exposed back peg when the shield is removed.
