I honestly don't care who says what because I don't make ad personam posts, my post is clearly pointed to the ongoing attitude rather than the single individual, because you're not the only one who came up with this argument.
And the point is really simple: this sculpt has the exact same features that we've seen in the last 10-15 years by any company in this hobby on any female statue, including statues you said had character/personality/whatelse (Ivy, Ms Marvel).
Now, I wouldn't have made a lenghty and boring post with pictures on Statueforum about head sculpts if I thought that XM head sculpts were perfect. They aren't. I just see a ridicolous amount of double standards in this specific case where something that until yesterday was commonly considered "good" has now become not enough, and coincidentally only in this specific case.
Because the fact that people criticising this sculpt are the same ones praising their Emma Frost tells me a whole other story and seriously, I'd rather see XM not listening to any kind of criticism than listening to people who clearly have double standards or are personally biased.
There's no praising the Emma Frost sculpt for me. I think it's pretty awful. More a caricature than a real person.
This doesn't influence the fact that I think this sculpt is devoid of any details in the sculpt or paint. It's very bland, very mannequin-esque, and frankly looks like a generic 1/6 Hot Toys sculpt from 10 years ago with it's dead stare...a major reason people who like statues hate "Dolls" and Hot Toys (I'm not one of them, I collect both).
IMO it's just not very good regardless of which company it is coming from.
