  2. I cant believe they still make HeroClix lol I've seen them in person before and they're VERY small. So most faces on these things are ugly because its such small detail.

    Id rather we get a Legends figurine of Betsy.

    1. Well, they're meant for a game not for collecting so aesthetics are secondary at best

    2. I realize that. My response was to the previous comment regarding what they said about her face being ugly

    I choose style.

  4. It's so bizarre how different artists are representing a woman who used to be a freaking model! Some of the art I see of Betsy is downright ugly (Chris Anka, Mahmud Asrar) Still, I think it's cool that Betsy has some representation in media form. I am praying that she gets a Marvel Legends figure at some point.

  5. I kinda like the face, to be honest. And it's nice that they chose the lighter armor over the bulky version.

    It would be nice to get more figures of CB Betsy (ALWAYS with the lighter armor, ALWAYS with the TK sword and shield).

  6. Then again, I know many people don't like the CB armor, so I wonder if maybe Marvel should give her back that CB uniform she wore in the UXF Otherworld arc when she returns to Excalibur. I like the armor (the lighter one, not the bulky one whenever she goes to Otherworld), but I also like the UXF CB uniform, so both scenarios would be fine to me.

  7. Anyone else notice it mentions shes a martial artist under her codename?

    Also they didn't include the flowers in her hair which is fine by me!

    1. randybear I hate the flowers too. Like she is a cuckoo member of a midsommar cult. Thx I'll pass.

      What I wanna see is a brave artist combine her first CB costume with the Disassembled Psylocke and voila! Betsy classiness restored.

      The only person to not smell Betsy is a martial pro is Tini Howard who has her hold a sword like it's a baguette 🥖 ready to be filled with cheddar 🧀 and bacon 🥓.

  8. The flowers/ the sash cape/ the mini shield/skirt THERE’S TOO MUCH GOING ON.
    I hope they move as fastly to the next costume as they sped to this atrocity the disassembled costume was PERFECT & they ruined it

  9. The Captain Britain costume isn't for Betsy. Notice her face. It was never this dark even when she was turned Asian. The color is Middle Eastern and close to Indian.
