Yeah, I was torn, but ultimately I got two of the Hasbro ones just to go with my Legends collection. I mean, they tried...they even sculpted a penguin backpack/sword sheaths and a belt with a cell phone holster, lol.

Meanwhile, there were two Gamestop-exclusive Gwenpool statues that were pretty hideous. Gwen just does not work as well when she's depicted in a relatively standard art style or (even worse) sexed-up with big ol' titties.



And I know what you mean by the Gurihiru style. Clearly Japanese anime in origin, but there are enough differences - and just a touch of western/Disney influence - that sets it apart. It's just such a clean, expressive, and appealing style that works so damn well and it's gotten me to read books they've drawn even if they were about characters I wasn't into.

Gurihiru are one of the reasons I'm glad there's more female artists in comics these days. I mean, can you imagine Gwenpool drawn by, say, Rob Fucking Liefeld?

*EDIT* I think that's actually a parody of a Liefeld drawing (Lolfeld, missed that), but it's close enough that I thought it was actually his. But I could 100% see him drawing a woman exactly like that, and that's all that matters.
