Even through all this debate, I'm still going to have to see the full reveal to make a final decision on whether PI is "good" or not.

I'm not even sure where the whole body builder thing is coming from. It's not like her arms are massive. Everything is well in proportion and it's just basically her back muscles are being pushed together due to her pose. The artist probably just exaggerated it to sell the pose and/or show off his/her skills.

On another note, the sjw/sideshow toning down sex appeal comments are as foolish as they come. Not sure if you guys have noticed, but Ivy is wearing about as little as I've ever seen her wear. She's basically naked, with a few leaves covering her.
I see her as more crossfit than body builder but never have I thought of Ivy having that type of a build. I find that build very attractive but it's just not right for this particular character. Doing so changes the way I feel about the piece even though I think it is very well sculpted.

You were arguing that it's close-minded to not be open to artistic interpretation. Yes, my examples were extreme, but where is that fine line where I can legitimately complain about an artist's interpretation? This isn't about whether I like women with well-defined muscles, this is about whether it makes any sense whatsoever for the character Poison Ivy to have that sort of physique. I have never seen any indication that this character has any inclination to pump iron.

Would a skinny Penguin be OK too because it's just the artist version?

I did a google search on various versions of Poison Ivy....I can't find a version of her that has a single muscle let alone "ripped". All big boobs, an ass and very hour glassy.

I wouldn't buy that figure either. I want pieces that invoke my love for the characters. Not SS's reimagined universe.

Ok, so that version is worth arguing over. I think this would be more a product that is realised by Prime1

Me too. If P1 confirm it before the Hush Ivy preorder, I'm holding off on that one.
