I didn't see them that way.
Yes, in a way they might suffer with some mental illness due to being in a brothel, posed as a mental institution.
Where they are physically and mentally abused. But I didn't get the idea that they had issues before they got there.
The only reason Babydoll was brought there is because she accidentally shot her sister, due to her abusive stepfather attacking them.
He took her there because he couldn't handle her and wanted her locked up.

I like these pieces because they are straight forward, no BS.
I do think that the Honey Trap pieces are WAY overpriced though.
Like Wwwwwwaaaaaayyyyy overpriced.
I just remember how they would argue that the prices are higher because of the array of materials that were used.
Such a load of crap.
Most definitely these Sucker Punch girls are a highlight in my collection, the quality, paint app, and detail to no end. At the time $500 for these pieces were quite high, but compared to what we are getting now for the same price, they are a bargain. I'll never let them go!

I won't say my interpretation of the movie so as not to run it for anyone but I will say I saw the movie from an entirely different point of view.
