psylocke pf portrait poll - new vs old

pretty cut and dry which do you prefer?

even with my issues with the base I was still planning on pick this up but the new portrait is going to make it a pass. sucks because I took a leap of faith selling my og when this was previewed, as of now looks like that wont be paying off

Original without question, bring the old back SS or include both.

I love the old portrait as well. I don’t get why they just don’t include a CoH for the Ex is those that want the new one.

I would have gotten the old one. I won’t get the new one.

the only way im getting this is if they include the old one or revise the new one

I think this new one has potential but needs to be a little larger, neck shorter and revised from the eyes up. eyes and below look like it could work. I think they could do better with the hair too, this looks rushed

I'm out if the original portrait is out. Yeah the new portrait proportion looks off relative to her body.

I like the new portrait, I really do. But the old portrait was what made this statue special. It would be great if they have the new portrait as EX. If they use it as a replacement for the old portrait, I am not sure if I want this anymore...

I don't understand why its one or the other? most companies are offering 2-3 portraits for just about every release

Agree with that. This currently feels like no win dividing buyers.

I agree. I don't understand their rationale of replacing the portrait especially when they already had it displayed at a big show like SDCC...It is too big of a change. They should have made the new head as an Exclusive, so they don't upset the people who loved the original portrait, which I believe is not a small number of people.

More bull---- from Sideshow. Pretty sure any other company would have just included both for the $600.

Plus, why could they not tweak Rogue's EX portrait due to time constraints, but they made the time to completely redo (and obliterate) Psylocke's?
