It's not really about the design, the big issue there was the visor being too big, that was pointed out but they did not change it. The lips thing is to do with paint application. On the prototype it's fine, on the retail piece, it's terrible;
Heh, sorry about that. At least they have put the symbol on her neck, but she's still way too icey - really needed that repaint imho. So technically they ruined it by painting her like a snow queen version of the character ;)
Thanks, yeah the Sideshow eyes were good and of course painting over them in photoshop is never going to be ideal, but I think if they adopted the movie colours in the eyes as per the photoshop then it would be best of both worlds :)
Absolutely, this is what threw me initially. But if you look at the poster they're actually pretty accurate to that. But as I say, that took me a while to realise she was wearing the poster costume. So in my version above I recoloured some details on it to be more like the poster and then...
Thanks very much. In looking at it and seeing the links to the movie poster, I've actually warmed to the sculpt, just not so much the paint choices. But it's a real niche within a niche to not go for the actual movie appearance, but a whole new hybrid based on the poster armour.
But I guess we...
What she looks like in the movie and on the poster;

A bit of fun putting some movie colours on to thaw her out a bit, and also adding movie style eyes and the neck mark V8Falcon spotted;
At first I was puzzled why this was so different to her look in the film, but then I realised, whilst they have taken some licence with a reimagined facial appearance, a lot of it is based on the poster... see below
Re: Christopher Reeve Superman PF
I know, I tried my best to find an image online of the HT in decent light in the same pose as the PF - this was the best I found. If anyone has a HT in hand and would like to take one that matches totally, I'd be very glad to edit the image and post it up again :)
