It's amazing how nobody can be arsed to do a simple Google search these days

Despite some aesthetic issues I have with the figure (she looks too much like her appearance in the Howard the Duck backup stories, and not enough like her solo series appearances, also the lack of an unmasked head is kinda glaring with how much she has her mask pulled down), I am so happy that we got her, and with all the unique molding she has, to boot. My wife's even happier, since she fell in love with the comic, and now Gwen is sitting front-and-center of our Marvel Legends display.

I really hope the MAFEX Gwenpool is halfway decent, because that one's perfectly Gurihiru-styled.
