Having seen the image, I see what OP means. I wouldn't go as far to say it's ugly, but I do think the ball was dropped somewhat in sculpting her. With that said, the original version was long sold out by the time I became aware of it, so this version may be the only way of getting a decent Dark Phoenix figure (as any western versions I've seen are dire).

I have to agree with other reviewers. This version of Dark Phoenix not as feminine or shapely as other versions. Why pay so much money for plain figure? Does not make sense.

I took a look at the link the guy before me linked to. Thought he was talking bullcrap, but oh boy, he was not. They shrunk her bust size and dragged the sash down from a straight line into a U shape on the actual statue and yeah, those weird stretchy things weren't there before. I don't get it, it doesn't look as good. Why?

Here's a link to the official Shunya Yamashita image

They added these ugly folds to break up the shape of her body shapes and breast line and ugly enlarged cloth folds to cover the crotch area.

The old statue looked better, it didn't have floppy textures the artist obviously didn't design.
