well some people just love and collect female characters. it is considarably better than gazing at a half naked muscular guy flexing at the top of your display. I did not call female character collectors perves btw no need to get triggered sorry if I offended anyone. I have some bishoujo pvcs as well, wife likes them. they are kinda beatiful as they represent the og design. game designers usually go with the exaggerated when designing female characters. pcs did a poison which was on point and beatiful. kinetiquettes doing a mai which is also great.

but this is not the character, this has nothing to do with sf. on top of everything does she ever have to take that shirt off and wave it. at least give her a pose with the fighting stance. and there is a chance for something like "oh laura did not sell well, people does not like that character so no more laura, guess it was a wrong character choice".

this is close to something like "street fighter - spring break wet t-shirt line"

Yes. Instead of making a usual SF statue and seeing IF either Laura is a popular enough character to sell or is a failure they went with this swimsuit line as this will likely sell more either way.

Every statue is a risk. The usual statues haven't been selling enough plain and simple or you'd be seeing more and more characters cranked out and PCS's predicament would not be continuing. "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results." Yet people want PCS to ONLY beat the same dead horse over and over and over .

It's not like if this Laura does gangbusters PCS will say "oh we don't want to do another Laura in a usual costume that will likely sell since the swimsuit did so well"

And please with the character assassination claims. Laura's (and Cammy's for that matter) entire design is a (tongue firmly in cheek) T&A gag and all the official swimsuit mods even more so.

Finally better quality images. Sexy statue.
I'm not sold on the Street Fighter bikini concept. They should re work the portrait, and sort out the red crab (it should be yellows, oranges).
I like water effect base. A less blue more turquoise color would have look better.



The eye's should be smaller and further apart.
What's with all the eye-lid liner?
The mouth is an epic fail.
As others have said - boobs should be bigger. Not too much bigger

Also, Laura's massive hair quiff, swept over section should be further forward - more forward than the 5 plats (see images).
Also, the 5th plat (closest the ear) should have triangle section coming downwards in front of the ear.

For that price tag this thing is a joke.

If I want to nitpick.

- Definitely get rid of the eye shadow. That makes a huge difference.
- Give her softer features around her cheek bones.
- She needs slightly fuller lips and a bit wider mouth, remove the gloss effect. Laura is a natural beauty.
- Makes nose slightly wider with eyes further apart.
- Needs softer and thinner jaw line.
- Skin could be a little more bronzed.
- Arms could use a bit more muscle.
- Bigger boobies!

They re worked Sakura
I have a feeling they won't re work Laura

As it is. It's an easy pass. Oh well.. PCS tried.
I'd still like to know who gave the thumbs up during Laura's process, given the number of issues.

Seen people saying PCS is ruining a strong female character.

I don't think anyone gets what Laura is. She is literally Electric Tits that's her character....the fact she's not even in her signature costume takes even more of her away....her only identifying feature at this point is her hair lol and i don't think they have done a good job with that.

And even then i've seen people thinking it's Sombra from Overwatch...

$440 is a good price though.

Down the road $200 will be a better price
The base of the hair quiff being back not forward compared to the 5 plats - i can't un_see it. It's a massive oversight of the sculptor.
