Let's not jump the gun until Joost actually shows those 4 clean sculpts in their finished prototype state, which is when he'll actually put it to a vote. We've seen the painted BD sculpts side-by-side, but not these clean ones.

Just a little freaky
The neutral one and smiling one (2 and 3) are absolute must-haves, and would be even more versatile in posing if Joost manages to do moveable eyes down the line if pre-orders are high.
Between the tongue out and meow one, I find the meow gritting teeth has better likeness and overall better use across different scenes

The teeth-gritted sculpt's mouth doesn't look like either of the above photos. The sculpt has 'muscle tension' at the sides of the mouth which makes it look like she's about to speak. Maybe once painted it will read differently.
Eyes slightly raised is needed on every sculpt.
Michelle's eyes seem to always be slightly raised or looking to the side. SEE above pictures.

She’s playing a cat, she needs to be alert.

I'm just glad to see the smirking/smiling sculpt is back on the table. If the FB poll really voted to remove that, then I think Joost is asking the wrong people for input lol

Sometimes it's better to listen to the few over the many. Especially nowadays when a lot of people follow the hive, without any thought into what's being said.
I somewhat feel as though Jazz is avoiding the rolling eyes due to its added complication. But they need to get out of their comfort zone while they're still ahead.
Catwoman currently tops my remaining shortlist of figures.

It's insane to me several people in facebook are against the neutral mouth one claiming it's too plain
Sometimes less is more; Michelle was a model before she became an actress and she knows how to just let the eyes do the talking for a sultry and sexy neutral face. If the neutral sculpt is gone, then both the battle damage and clean version is missing a truly neutral sculpt.
That’s the first sculpt anyone should make, if there’s to be a standard clean with only one sculpt, it’s that. Ideally would add the smirk second. Just stick to three sculpts per package and everyone’s pleased.
I’m not interested in a single sculpt for $400 after fees.

A neutral, stoic expression, is not necessarily a plain expression. Though it usually is with Hot Toys.
Anyway...
Facebook people are stupid.

Just do it all in one, and price it accordingly.
The base sculpt/sculpts of 2/3, with rolling eyes, and 3-4 mouth expressions.
Neutral, smirking, gritted teeth, and slightly open.
Endless possibilities.
And little goes to waste.
Their current approach is akin to 3rd party. Think Homelander/Palpatine from recent memory. A stuffed release with 3-4 sculps, only 1 of which may be actually decent.
And the rest stay in the box as fodder. That's not very premium sounding.
Ideally, they should look into magnets for maneuvering the eyes. Although only JND has that figured out so far.

All I know is the central sculps are essential.
I can't entirely decide between the outsiders since the teeth baring sculpt would probably be good for the arms up, panting after a dozen bakc flips 'Meow' moment but I could have more silly fun with he tongue out with Catwoman photobombing other figures...
Since I'm intent on getting both clean and bd Catwoman, I'd want a clear contrast in their demeanours and poses.
BD obviously will be completely unhinged and ragged, all composure, grace diminished.
The clean ver looking as sultry and seductive as possible- in a mid-strut pose similar to the JND statue, perhaps trailing or raising her whip, intent on showing some poor schmuck who their mami is.
For me, that's gotta be using the smiling sculpt.
Good God, how that got removed is BEYOND COMPREHENSION!!

From what I could tell, it was only one person in the group who suggested to replace it.

This is all I need from the clean version.
With Rolling Eyes, there's infinite potential for playful, confident, and intense expressions, to capture the range of this character.
Do we really want to trade this away for a tongue out sculpt that'll probably never leave the box?
