@Red

I think some of the the way the head sits on her neck is by design. I first noticed this with Jean Grey (and pics of the upcoming Dark Phoenix, which features a dramatically - IMO - elongated neck). At first, I thought it was the same problem we see in a few male sculpts (namely, Dr Strange) where the head appears to float if you aren't careful in how you pose. However, after manipulating Jean/Angela/Polaris, I now believe that this phenomenon may be an intentional effort to provide more play/articulation for the long tresses of hair many female heroes sport. If I had personal access to Hasbro designers, I'd inquire as to whether this seeming flaw was actually purposeful engineering. As you noted, there are still problems preventing this tweak (supposing that is in fact what it is) from being a complete fix.

The improvements that I'd like to see with female sculpts are more common use of double elbows, bicep swivels, a greater range of motion of the torso (in lieu of the removal of an ab crunch; a shift that I initially had problems with, but have come to appreciate), and better hips specifically for enormous women (Red She Hulk, Valkyrie, Thundra, Hela, and the upcoming She-Hulk who I hope isn't a straight reuse of previous molds). I'm curious as to what improvements, if any, you'd like to see with female designs...
