What was GG art director thinking? They are good enough as they are (though Squirrel Girl is not cute) adding a real soft element is an overkill.
It seems to be her tail and the brown parts of her costume.

Thanks Medusoid for the pic.
Looks kinda cheesy for me...

Really rethinking about this line now after Spider-Gwen, Spiderman and now Squirrel Girl.

I like Spider-Gwen and Spidey. The Squirrel Girl is just hideous IMO. They could have rolled with a better costume design and pose and *maybe* it could have been a worthy addition to the line-up. Sadly, this---this is not appealing in a multitude of ways. lol

THIS would have been a good costume. I dunno wtf art direction they were steering Skottie Young with the design, though. *sniffle*

Squirrel girl should be fully sculpted and not had velvet looking parts.

Gentle Giant isn't steering Skottie at all. All of the Marvel Animated statues are based off of Skottie's existing artwork/covers that he has previously done for Marvel. GG is simply taking that art and translating it from 2-D to 3-D.

This statue is based on this cover:

To be fair I probably wouldn't have gotten Squirrel Girl no matter how she looked. Just have zero interest in the character. I'm still very happy with this line as a whole and will still get most of them.

Playing with my GG Animated statues plus my Kotobukiya Deadpool doll...yes bought the whole statue then sold it but kept the doll

I have to commend GG for the representation of the characters but the Groot and Rocket have certain style of flatness to it unlike Captain America and Ironman that has 3D feel.

I'm referring to the art direction by Marvel. I know GG is basing their material off the Marvel covers. I just wish Marvel had steered Skottie toward something closer to the original character design. XD
