But things like that are not helpful, just useless. Explain your opinion in an constructive feedback.

-tweak it a bit to make him look more confident and less psycothic, possibly adding red shades, even if I can't figure a single scenario where he would be fully dressed in his costume, ready to fight, while being unmasked and with glasses on

XM should find a way to make this less horrible, so he doesn't look psychotic, and not God awful.

If this really is the second head that ships, and I'm lucky enough to get one, I'll make my own red bandanna to cover his face up. Ala Netflix show.

Some must be useless, someone else can stand out.

I just spoke general, but yes if you have a negative opinion just explain it. Turn it into positive.

I said it looks psychotic, I stand by that. That's the expression I'd expect from the Joker, surely not Devil.

As someone already pointed out, if switch outs are going to be added, make them worth. Right now it looks more like a forgettable extra.
Three words that I quoted as offensive hardly qualifies as everything and it has nothing to do with whether I agree with the comment or not. I stand by my comment that those comments were harsh AND offensive.

I don't know what you do for a living, but what if someone said your job/work was horrible and god awful? Are you telling me you wouldn't be offended? I see a lot of people on this board say they are paying "good money" for a statue as an excuse for their self entitled, harsh (at least that is the way they come across to me) comments.

The point I am trying to get across to everyone is to take a minute or two before putting fingers to the keyboard to think about what you want to say and to word it in a more constructive and respectful way. As you say, XM (and most other statue companies) welcomes comments and critiques of their products, but it is also important how those comments and critiques come across.

Being offended has nothing to do with whether someone is right or wrong. Your post is an excellent example of the rude, self entitled behavior I refer to in my previous post.

Personally I don't think it needs a COH. We always give out when our superheros don't wear their masks in the movie so why would we want to see a Matt Murdock portrait?

If I do a poor job, I get smacked on the head (figuratively speaking) and rightfully so.
If you think that something being called "psychotic" or "god awful" or "horrible" is offensive, you must really hate the outside world.
If people said "the guy who sculpted this head works like s--t", then I'd agree it's personal and offensive. Saying that the end result is horrible is not being offensive, it's expressing how one feels.
