Agree. While I think Kwannon/Psylocke's stock has risen astronomically under the last few years, Betsy Braddock's has fallen just as sharply.

It's an unusual situation, there's not many personas that have spent so long as another physical identity, that that identity is actually the iconic one yet actually isn't the actual representation of the persona (as opposed to legacy names like Robin, or Captain Marvel).

To add to that of course, Betsy threw off the Psylocke persona and Kwanna picked it up. Not highly unusual, but given the specific circumstances it sort of is. So it's actually not wrong that "Psylocke" is still represented by the ninja-esque iconic look we associate with, yet, before the body switch, she was also absolutely the English woman.

I absolutely want more Psylocke figures prebody swap - especially the Outback Armored look. I'm not so sure how much I want a Betsy Captain Britain ones, though I wouldn't turn it down either. On the other hand, Kwannon Psylocke we've got what we've seen so far.

I don't know if there's a point I'm trying to make here, ha. other than just making it even more confusing than it already is, if that's even possible. Betsy/Psylocke/Kwannon has to have one of the most convoluted explanations of a character, unnecessarily so, and every change they make just makes it even more so (they could have left Kwannon going by Kwannon and Betsy as Psylocke, but ooooh no!)

Related question - in displays, who's the iconic Psylocke figure going to be representing? Kwannon or Betsy? Or both, depending on circumstances?
