Oh yeah! I forgot about her. Not what we, or the character deserves.
Bottom line, they need a different sculptor. At least for female figures. Farrow can turn out an amazing sculpt for male figures but he is NOT the guy for these iconic female characters that we are finally getting. Once they are out, they are out. In all their distorted, square-jawed, flat-faced, angry glory. There are no do-overs on Starfire. Or Super Friends WW. Or Batgirl 77. Or any of them. I challenge anyone to take a good, honest look at the Starfire and Raven heads and tell me they do justice to those characters. Be honest.
Arguably, a better option would be to re-use, re-paint and re-root the "Mego" female heads. Look what Mego did with transforming WW into Isis! Far from perfect but you get the concept.
Another option? re-tool them. How hard would it be to make a cast of, say, the IG head, makes some subtle changes to the chin, mouth, nose, etc. and recast it. Boom. New sculpt with minor effort. AND it looks like a real female.
Whew! Thanks for getting me all worked up again, thunderbolt!
