Gotta disagree. I think this statue is perfect. Wouldn't change a thing.
Art is subjective.

Everytime I see the deformed potbelly guys under her tail, I'm reminded of those occasional news stories where some overly obese person finds a dead cat in one of their fat folds. 
It's just the proportions and the flesh that bother me really. If these were proportionate and had no gross skin/protruding stomachs, basically just skeletons, I'd actually like it.
The idea of her keeping her victims' (proportionate) skeletons as jewelry/trophies wrapped up in her tail-tentacles is pretty cool IMO. Right now they just look like pregnant male dwarves...
I think I may end up forcing myself to look past them and buy her anyway though.

I agree with this. If they were proportioned better and/or if they were just skeletons or something close to that I'd get her. Just like you said, trophies.
The rest of the statue is superb though. Who knows, down the line I may break on just do it as well.

Is there any way to communicate to SS how much we wish the sailors were at least a removable option
Of course, but they almost never listen anyway. They need to do sneak peaks so we can have some input like other companies.

Those little guys ain't gonna be removable I'm afraid, she has her claws wrapped around the 3rd sailor under her tail so he is there to stay.
To be honest I would have preferred those little dudes to be larger but I just imagine she is the same size as Neytiri from Avatar which makes those guys fit scale wise.

I have no problem imagining that she simply prefers children as her victims.
To be fair, not many children sailing the seven seas out there

Ah, so it is a rare find for her... hence, why she is hoarding them by keeping them close by.

She appears to them near the seashore and beckons them into the water at high tide. They only see her beautiful face, until they swim out to meet her.

plot twist. she found them and is returning them to the grief stricken parents for the burial they never got to do. Siren is a good gal after all - hope that helps you out with your child worries

Mermaids and Sirens vs Sailors
I just have to do this for educational purposes, There Sailors:
Mermaids (or Sirens) are mythological water creatures (or spirits) that have appeared in the folklore and popular culture of almost every sea fearing civilizations during the last few thousand years. Often depicted as beautiful women with lower portion of body resembling fish tail, these legendary creatures managed to create around them both the atmosphere of romantic myths and horror stories. In the beginning, mermaids represented the unknown of the sea, dangers of open water, and unexplored water territories, but as our culture and science evolved to modern state, mermaids and sirens took a firm hold in our imagination and became part of art and media.
As the early human civilization formed around the rivers and seas, their religion often had a great focus on the dangers and wonders that were hid in them. Because of that some of the earliest known gods were depicted as some combination of men and fish, with 7000 year old Babylonian god Ea (bringer of knowledge, arts and sciences, later known as Oannes by the Greeks) being first one. As the time went on female sea gods appeared, and the first one that had the greatest resemblance to the mermaid was Assyriangoddess Astargatis, who decided to hide herself from the mortals after she accidentally killed one of them. After diving below water to become fish, sea refused to hide her beauty and decided to not transform upper half of her body. Greeks adopted some parts of her origin, morphing her into Aphrodite. The clearest example of merfolk in Greek mythology was the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite called Triton, who is most often shown as mermen who blow the conch shell while riding the sea waves.
As the myth about mermaids spread across the world, various cultures adopted many traits to them, sometimes creating creatures with vastly different attitudes toward the mortals. Greeks for example feared mermaids, and they called them sirens - dangerous creatures who lured the sailors to the sea with their songs and drowned them. Similar superstition was present on British Isles where sailors regarded mermaids, sirens and sea nymphs as evil spirits of the sea and bad omens (sighting the mermaid represented the coming of the storm, sinking of the ship and almost always eventual death of the person who saw them).
