I will have to agree with both points here. We need to stop to defend a company just because we like. Second point is that this character is not appealing at all for me. In my opinion was a frustrated tentative to have a female character giving the cards and have more things to sell. Anyways, i try to judge a statue apart of my taste and even like this i think the pose is poor, face sculpture and overall feeling are way behind of what XM has been showing lately.

I like this statue but there are a few things that bother me about it. The right hand that goes with the hoody looks small and the bicep seams bugs me. It would have been better to have the break where the white meets the red webbing.

I don't get why this keeps happening with XM females. Elektra's curly haired portrait looks like a shrunken head compared to her body, but then Spider Gwen looks like someone used an enlarging potion on her head.

I agree. And I don't understand how such mistakes are still possible with all these digital tools.

The bicep seam is gone. These are pics I took at the recent STGCC.

It's better but I'm just not sold on it, at least not yet. How does one even get XM statues like this in the US anymore?

I personally liked her better with more subdued makeup.
