It doesn't matter though, I was 100% in on this set as soon as they revealed the foot.

Oh to me she is one of the most underused villains in not just X-Men comics but all of Marvel. She should be at least a Sinister or Apocalypse level threat. She's probably my favorite X-villain.

Goblin Queen would be nice, but you might be able to stick one of the extra jean heads on the body to make it work, unless you mean use the one they are giving us in this set, which would work too, I guess. If the custom Selene works for you, that's awesome though.

As much as I'd like to have seen Mastermind in his Jason Wyngarde look given his was more central to the DPS, I understand that over all since that, Pierce has been a much more prominent villain (and alive for most of that time, too!) I was hoping for the four we got and Mastermind though to be honest, but as long as we got Shaw, Emma and can have a headswapped Selene, I'm happy. And I'll be using that figure as Selene, no question.

Okay, so I saved an image and blew it up to twice as large. I do agree, it's not the greatest, but it'll have to be what it is. One of the main thing I've always associated with her face is how angular it is. This is a bit more round, looks a bit like Kelly Osborne if she had long black hair. And the purple shading is a weird choice. I wonder how much of use of Shiklah's headsculpt they used in this? At any rate, the purple shading they could probably do away with, if they chose to, but the sculpting is what likely what we're stuck with. I'd rather have it as is than not at all.
