I didn't realize the Sideshow markup was that high. Budget Stark says in his video that the deluxe is only HK$1500; so less than $200! That seems like a perfectly reasonable price for this figure. No wonder these tend to sell out before release in Hong Kong.
As great as the likeness is, I'm really wishing they went for the slightly warmer expression of the Sideshow PF that captures her personality a bit better, instead of making her so completely stone-faced like usual. In fact I think it might be one of the few times Sideshow has HT beat.

I wouldn't call that a smirk, or even a smile really. But it does show at least a hint of expression and personality, which I always prefer to see in a sculpt over one that is utterly blank and devoid of emotion.
Just you. I think she is wearing too much layers even in regular.

Save you hundreds of dollars too. Either way, I'm done. No point discussing head sculpts and portraiture with people who don't see how awful PF Jyn looks.
I understand your reasoning. A statue is better suited for an expression because it always captures one single moment or action.
But for a poseable figure, as someone else pointed out, it would be jarring to see her smirking or smiling softly while posed blowing up stormtrooper brains with her A120 or E11...
She looks how I expect Jyn to look: stern and brassy. SS Jyn looks too soft and dolled up to lead a rebellion.
Are we even looking at the same figure? You prefer this?

Looks about on par with this:

Yeah I guess for those into creating big dioramas or action scenes or something. But I usually opt for the simpler museum poses with my figures, and I think a hint of a smile would still work pretty well with her holding a gun. And might even make her look just a bit more badass, in fact.
