Ok, so I've been looking at this for a couple of days..hmm, something just doesn't feel right with the headsculpt.

It seems as if 1) the facial profile is too flat, 2) the eyes appear to be slightly too far apart, and 3) given point 1 & 2 the forehead seems too high /pronounced.

The skin colour, looks off somehow, as though she has jaundice.....

I want to like this piece, I really do. I loved Ritual and Luz, and badly want to support Yamato because they are doing some great concept work, their final production pieces are spot on and, they are making figures other than Marvel and DC....all major plus points for me. I didn't buy Lilith because IMHO she was off on too many points, but this piece is going the same way.

I dearly hope this isn't a trend for Yamato. The colour I can forgive, but if the base portrait is off, then there's no rescue for the piece.

I understand fully what you mean on supporting Yamato. It's an underrated company. Perhaps, when I have her on hand, Silas, my photos will ease your fears.

Currently, I am happy with what they are presenting, but I do hope the other color variants will offer a lighter skin tone, as I prefer that. Again, my only critique is that she does not look Asian; My only fear is that she won't match up with Luz and Ritual. Lilith certainly did not.

I think I will wait to see what the variant is before preordering her. I imagine the colors of the outfit and perhaps even the skin color may change, which would be an improvement if her skin were a bit lighter.

They showed the exclusive variant.



It's a lot more similar than I would have imagined. I'm surprised they opted to still use red as the dominant color though it's a different shade of red and is now on the inside part rather than outside. It's basically swapping the color sets.

What I'm wondering is if the difference in skin color is just the lighting or an actual difference. If so, I feel like I prefer the exclusive's body, but prefer the regular's clothes. The red just seems so loud now as it contrasts with the skin greatly whereas before the fabrics on her body were near the same color as her skin.
