She looks like she's about to Flick the side of her Plastic Botox'd head.

Her face is shining. And looks stiff (even for a statue!).

Free advice, AKA recipe for a home run SuperGirl.

Remove and resculpt hideous portrait.

Remove strange left arm that's been nothing but problems. Put a side positioned left arm on her.

If SS is persistent that an arm has to be raised, make it the right arm and go back to the salute (on the correct side!).

Price should be $400.00-$420.00 range.

Matter of personal preference... Sculpted Cape (but that's not a deal breaker).

Also last year Batgirl was revealed at the same time and was up for PO by now- and now they're fixing this one and its still *somewhat* messy with not even a word on price (if this is the $500 PF because of the necessary alterations then their sales will be in trouble)
Power Girl is a superior character, so I don't mind the arrangement myself.

We'll have to wait and see on price, but nothing surprises me with Sideshow-flation anymore.

I actually like the existing head, but there should be an alternate look with hair down.

Rather than pour their all into the best Supergirl statue possible - alternate portraits AND arms - I think SS has decided to divide their effort between two pieces. Just you wait.

It just shocks me how this makes it through the approval process.

How many sets of eyes does this have to go through and yet no one at SS says, "hmmmm. Wait a minute here... This just doesn't look good."

Totally "There's Something About Mary" vibe going on here.

This face just isn't something a majority of people want from the group of people that want a Supergirl statue.

^ They are all artists to varying degrees so they tend to not be judgmental on the aesthetic appeal of other's work. Also a bunch of 20 & 30 somethings that aren't owners isn't the best environment to get opinions outside of a bunch of "Yes! men".

Licensor approvals are mainly concerned with oversexualization of female characters right now, which this definitely lacks in spades.
