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

I liked the original portrait as well because it looked realistic

So long as the eye makeup on the new portrait doesn’t look too thick and or offensive, the new portrait is Jim Lee and that’s what I’m hoping for this entire line.

I did find a Japanese model that does look like her

But I think she had some plastic surgery

Can’t find it right now but


Nose and lips are similar

2nd one without a doubt BUT I was not a big fan of Lee.

If SS sold this statue with the original portrait I would have bought it.

Make up also gives the illusion of a 45 degree angle



Eyeliner is way too thick on the pics posted on the website



If it’s toned down as seen during the unboxing, the portrait looks good

Her cheekbones and face look good




That’s what I see when I look at the portrait now, it doesn’t look like a dude imo

This is my Betsy



She looks great

I’m over it — onto bigger and better things

Like I always say, Her eyes are way too arched. That's my problem with the first psylocke PF and now with the updated portraits. The only character I knew who have those type of eyes is Mulan.

Lucy Liu has arched eyes, and the eyes of Chaeyoung are also slightly arched.
Also, she indeed looks like Jim Lee,s Psylocke, and since Jim Lee is asian american, i would not doubt the way he draws them.
I just decided to pre order her as an upgrade to my psylocke comiquette.

Turd and poo is a limitation on the system as I really can't directly use the word that rhymes with shtit. Full of shtit. Saying that such a face could not exist is an example of being full of shtit.

As for insulting, an example is being called full of shtit. Not by sharing an opinion that this piece looks Asian as to me it does.

No disaster here.

Invoking a reference to the Godwin law is either an attempt to take the topic off track or a misunderstanding of it's point. I will use the word hate a 3rd time (which will become a 4th) by saying the hate-orade on this piece is shtit (there's that word again).

Ahh yes polystone statues.

I appreciate you responding to my post as I think you were the biggest offender with the nonsense alien images. I think cat pictures would be a better companion to the many other images you are collecting to post online. Cat memes have been all the rage. Or is that a form of hate speech too?



But seriously. I welcome all differences of opinions even when they are wrong.

If liking this portrait means having good taste in women, I'll stick with my bad taste.

Because to answer to your post ( that’s a lot of shtit and hate) too lazy I am, to a great wise man the last word I leave ( his great wisdom to celebrate first my generation was.)


Well, yeah... Sorry for that. That agressive post, suggesting a shrink could be useful, killed me too.

Yup I loved the first portrait. To not even include it was a mistake IMO. It should have been the EX so everyone would be happy.

Hey man, it is a free board. There is no right or wrong and as long as you aren't telling me that I'm "desperate to love this piece" criticize all you want (although if I hated a piece this much I'd just stay away from it.)

Same goes for the supporters of this piece that thinks everyone should apologize for doubting this piece.

I thought the production pics was awful looking. Weird paint just ruined everything. Now with the unboxing video I like it so much more than the first PF and even the first European portrait. I can see the point regarding the slanted eyes but I'm not too concerned with 100% anatomically correct portraits in the first place (they are comic statues after all).

Will probably wait for it to go on sale or something though. EX is not a must and my priority is my Batman Rogues line!
