-Change the lipstick color (darker lips look bad on her)
-give her teeth back
-and give her the black eye liner only,could even give her a little pink eyeshadow
-and replace the small hints of blush on her face

You know how many people would pay to have a decent looking face?
How hard can this be? (not the full list of changes mind you, just the eyes). The right paint and a steady hand?

I think getting at the eye under the bangs is going to be problematic.

Not really, you just have to position it right. Then you can reach it.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I just have a feeling that I would destroy her face (even though it looks rough anyway) plus I wouldn't know what kinds of paints or get the right skin color to match the entire body

Probably to mad about her face to put her on youtube. One guy unboxed his Red Chun-li and didn't even put her hand in right. He thought it was amazing.

Except that most people who flip use original pictures. That's nothing new. It's not so much dishonest as it is lazy and in the end, the buyer will be the one getting screwed when the product doesn't arrive as advertised.

Yeah but in this case there are new Sideshow pics up. I could understand it if they still had the old pics up.

E.g. there was a guy selling Mecha Gief and he had the Sideshow pics with old colour palette. When you google Sideshow and Mecha Gief that's what you will find.

Here the pictures were changed. I guess it's possible the old page and pics still exist but this has not sold out so what's on the site is the new pictures.

It just pushes my buttons because I sell on eBay and I make sure that I take photos of the product in hand so people know exactly what they are buying. Half these guys haven't even opened the box. It's so stupid. "Factory Sealed" is a BIG red flag for me. It means the flipper hasn't checked the contents which is an absolute must for statues.

Lazy or deceitful. Either way it turns my stomach.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.
