I wonder how she will look painted, but its weird none of these portraits show how fierce Psylocke looks. I wonder if/what improvements will be made based on the feedback.

So far it just makes me want to keep the x-force psylocke, at least that portrait is great despite the fact that i wanted classic colors.

Marvel is not going to say one portrait looks "too Asian" for one company and "not enough Asian" for another. This statue doesn't look like Psylocke at all.

Its like the took Lady Sif's old face and put it on this statue. I see it a lot in the right portrait.
That's what Ang said on FB. He works at XM. The sculptor also chimed in and said XM changed his sculpt (first post). Marvel wants Psylocke presented as biracial now. It's weird because I thought she was either in a British or Japanese body, but not both.

You'd be correct.

Jesus, now Marvel executives don't even know - or care - about character history. Delightful.

Sadly, as long as her portrait looks like it does I will not be buying this statue. Plenty of people will, but this isn't the Japanese Psylocke I'm looking for. If they ever make this portrait with her original pink/purple suit I would happily buy it

I'll probably only display the butterfly portrait. My main concern is the pose so it won't lean. We'll see if they rework anything, but it seems like Marvel is tough on approving things.

I really don't understand why they can't just make her look 100% Asian. So strange...Jubilee is also supposed to be if I'm not mistaken.

The original portrait and the hair of the third render would be perfect for me although I have to admit I don't love the pose on this piece.
