Psylocke PF (2023) by Sideshow Collectibles
Arrived today. Nothing broken. Zero issues with the portrait, speaking of which, I love that portrait!
Based on experience, I can confirm, Psylocke appears to have been made by a 'good' factory.
The Out of the Box photo's above were shot using different camera setting (in natural daylight) hence the light and dark types of shot.
On first inspection I thought the skin-tone looked on the dark side.
Having been looking at the statue for the past 2hrs, my eyes have adjusted to liking the skin-tone.
Obviously the dark skin-tone is to reflect the time, it being night.
The paint app is sharp. No sloppy lines that I can see.
Due to nature of the pose, Psylocke comes across as small. The pose works well.
The right arm about to grab the katana works better (in my opinion) than the swap out arm featuring pink/purple psi-blade
The Base:
The large stone lantern on which Psylocke is perched works well,
as does the light-up feature (powered by a long USB cable and operated with a 'push' on/off switch).
The area of base below the lantern - the stones work well, although the mist? works less well, as it looks like melting snow or foam.
They should have left that out and stuck with the stones. They should have left the plants out also.
The detachable section of base behind the lantern featuring path, buildings, moon, cloud..
is not a concept I am sold.
When the time comes to display Psylocke in a permanent location, I think I will leave this section of base in the box, as it looks tacky.
Hyper-picky:
The 3 throwing stars. I like the idea. They should have made the stars from metal.
They should have made the stars smaller. If Psylocke was to grab a star and throw it, it would be like her throwing a dinner plate or frisbee.
I will be leaving the silver plastic stars in the box.
Psylocke's feet. I am not normally drawn towards a statues foot size, but something about Psylocke's feet make them look very big.
Does anyone else who owns Psylocke think her feet look large?
The base. See comments above.
All in all, I can say I am happy to have Psylocke in the collection.
