I was assuming you knew a bit of her history. But I guess it might be a 'bit' convoluted.
But Spiral (Mojoworld) switched the minds between Revanche (Japanese Assassin) and Besty Braddock (Psylocke). And Besty has pretty much been stuck in the same body ever since. Ravanche dies after catching the Legacy virus, and Besty's original body is eventual lost. This is from memory so excuse any errors.
There was also this thing about intermingled minds and DNA. And I do believe the mixed up memory and split powers were eventually fixed after Ravanche dies.

I had no clue about that. Lol. Just thought it may have been a character revamp a while back. That’s crazy!
Thanks!

Yes it is.
I've always wondered about the whole thing about the intermingled DNA. Was it as stated and they just wanted to create conflict and share the mutant powers between the two of them, or was it so that they could sometimes draw Psylocke as anything other than pure Japanese and more Eurasian, as some artists have had issues conveying certain facial features etc in the past in their heroes.

I wouldn't mind if they made her look more like Olivia munn

Olivia Munn is like many celebrities in Hollywood of Asian descent, in that most are almost always of mixed heritage. Which I totally understand, as the very few Eurasians (usually of Chinese & west European parentage) I've known have been drop dead gorgeous.
Though in Psylocke's case an argument could be made for it. Though personally I prefer stronger East Asian traits on depictions of Psylocke, but that's just me.

Oh yes!
I will probably end up buying this since I didn’t like first one when they changed the face from the prototype. Could be better but need to see more. Wish for a ex coh.

WOW, I'm not sure what to think of the headsculpt. I don't think its bad but I just don't see Psylocke. I prefer an Asian headsculpt. Or Maybe Psylocke is one of those characters that just requires two headsculpts

Love everything except the face. It’s not to say it’s bad but it could be better.

The scrunched brow and overly arched eyebrows are what make the pieces look more masculine, especially since everybody is used to relatively soft features with somewhat blank expressions on female statues. Captain Marvel they made it work but it’s extremely subtle and her eyebrows aren’t overtly raised and arched.
People complain that the headsculpts are too dead or unanimated, they make them more animated and now they’re too masculine. The fact of the matter is taste is subjective and people are going to cry no matter what. Some people on here complain 95% of the time.

Animated doesn't have to look masculine
The jawline isn’t helping either

Like the figure and portrait but not crazy about the base. Definitely a contender to PO

The face looks better there. Need to see more though especially of the base
