I chalk that up to base and foundation. She just puts on her makeup before she leaves the house to fight crime!

I just received mine this week, and overall really happy with it. The headsculpt is a knockout.

Has anyone mentioned whether they changed the headsculpt in their current batches vs. earlier batches? I've noticed in the production photos and in nearmint's youtube review, that their psylocke's have a loose strand of hair across her face. In my version (and ukshaun's), it looks like the sculpt changed to have that hair molded tighter to the face and tucked under the ear. Apologies if this was already brought up.

I noticed that as well. On the production photos on the product page there's a loose strand of fair but the gap to the head or other parts of the hair is not big.



I checked mine and it looks similar to the production photos. I guess in some statues the hair strand wasn't glued all the way behind her ear.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

The photo without the loose strand just looks like it’s tucked under the hair against the ear. I have a loose hair strand as well

I think they're all the same. I bet a few factory workers decided to not tuck the hair strand above the ear.

I will also bet you could take a blowdryer and heat up that hair strand slowly ...and when hot, untuck it from above the ear to make it a loose hair strand. Or vice versa.

I think i prefer the thick strand of hair glued more backwards to ear, as it works better (less prone to breakage).
I was unaware of the other option of the thick strand of hair hanging forward away from the ear.

My eye was more drawn to Psylocke's large feet. It is not something i have focused on with any of my other statues.
If Psylocke was not wearing her Psylocke outfit, and was wearing shoes, her feet would look even bigger.

Looks like they all have the same hair strand, but glued differently at different angles.
