From a fb group. Probably the besat pictures I've seen.

The post says:
"For those who think XM Studios can not make a good female portrait...I think the Phoenix Jean Grey heads are very nice and have just not been photographed to show how well they look in real life. While they may not be as dynamic and life like as Sideshows, they are very comic like and display extremely well.
What do you think?"

I agree 100%. People keep forgetting that this is a comic version.

I would be aiming for something about the same level as my unmasked Batgirl

I have a hard time understanding why people see "It's Comic Styled" as a defense for what looks to be off anatomy on her face. Comic artists exaggerate actual human anatomy, her Hairline being too low has nothing to do with exaggerated anatomy, unless she's supposed to be a neanderthal.

Hopefully the custom heads will be made to true 1/4 scale.
You guys can't deny it, the XM heads are not to the right scale.
They are too small for the body.

I think the head size is perfectly fine. It's conics and not real life. If you open a comic I'm sure proportions are not like real life mostly all the time. I just want a better sculpt pretty looking head like the proto. That's the only bad thing for me before this becomes a 10

Given ow close the head is to the neck key there is little to NOTHING a custom head maker can do about the scale here.... The head can't be significantly wider or taller without throwing out the proportion of the neck. With so little room to play with there isn't much to be done

I will wait to receive mine next week before passing judgment on the heads.

Maybe you may like it? Hope you will. But I would say, we do need a new custom phoenix head. The SS female heads are killing this one imo. I can't wait to see what will be offered. I wished XM would make a new head like the proto for us. I mean make it the way it was shown even if the chip is there. The hair seem taller in the proto and not just the chip in the hair. Maybe the paint job on the eyes and lips needs to be improve to make her look like the proto. Other than that she should be a 10.

agree, and it's on my desktop lol

isn't $2k shipped for her too much?

I don't see much less It was the best price when I bought her in the aftermarket. I looked all over with nothing less. I did find one for 200.00 less later on but that's her price now.

I've seen side by side pictures on Facebook...the heads on this are way off scale

That's the problem, you've only seen pictures. In person, theyre fine, and are perfectly in scale.

And yet, youre flipping her in your sales thread for $2k. Don't you think youre asking for too much?

Side by side with what ink?? If you are referring to them beside an SSC PF XM tend to be a little smaller when it ones to the actual figures not including the base.
