Oldschool Psylocke

[Tazirai]

I was just curious, being a fan of Psylocke in all her incarnations. Why do we keep getting All these other characters in their old looks, but not her?
I'd kill( well not really), for a chance at A pink or armoured Psylocke.

Wonder why we can't seem to get one.
I've got a CGI artist on deviant art doing a commission for me, I then hope to get a custom made by a friend who does statuary. She said would cost about 200ish for materials.
I'm willing to pay for that, with no guaranteed results.. yet companies can't seem to make one.

/sigh

the PFs are the jim lee era

The mid to late-80s period gets skipped over a lot by manufacturers. They assume (probably rightly) that the majority of collectors are interested in four eras - original X-Men, early Claremont, Jim Lee costumes, and modern. And even more so with Psylocke than most characters, her most popular look is the Jim Lee outfit.

Psylocke has had a hard time getting away from the JL inspiried look. I also dont know if she has a large enough fan base willing to commit to multiple versions of her.

Regardless if the JL costume is better, if your sculpt can pull off what is in that render, that would be awesome!

I hear what you guys are saying. I just find it odd that If Psylocke is sooo popular. Wouldn't you at least attempt a 6 inch version to see what it would sell like?
I mean how many people have heard of Jocasta? Yet she's got a statue.

Well that's Bowen, and one of their big niches these days is doing statues of characters Sideshow wouldn't dream of doing. And unlike Sideshow, they have no problem revisiting sculpts and doing several variant costumes. The problem there is that a classic Psylocke would require a lot of effort and probably an entirely new sculpt rather than being a simple variant of ninja Psylocke. Why bother with that when there's probably more interest in a simple X-Force or Crimson Dawn repaint?

But hey, there's always this:
