I posted this question on another thread, but thought it deserved it's own. Why do 90% of collectors hate the new 25th Lady Jay?
I think Jay is a very good figure...not perfect, but good nonetheless. She's everyhting I remember about the original figure: short hair, ball cap, green outfit with big boobs, javelin thing, gloves. Not only that, this one actually looks attractive unlike the original female trucker look. Seriously, what's the problem? Is this some fanboy thing I'm missing where every female Joe needs to be like a Marvel Comic Book girl? |

I never had tho old one.. but to me It just doesn't look like her from the cartoon. and you are dead on when you said she looks like a truck driver... all that sexyness she had on the toon is not there on her fig. the cap is just Horrible.. IMO ..

The only problem I ever had with the 25th figure is that the hat looks too small for the head. So I ripped it off:
The funny part is alot of people say her face is fugly, but they love my custom and say she looks pretty now (It's the same face) |

I never understood all the hate either. I think her face is quite good, and I think her body mold (and articulation) is great, too. I think that the hat biases people against her for some reason (I also did a hair/hat swap with Bombstrike).

well the 25th does look like the original first version
i don't get it either...(all the hate) i like the fact that a cartoon accurate version is coming out later this year though! and we'll hear all about the imperfectness of the figure all over again............................. |

I have no problems with Lady Jaye. I'd prefer a removable hat and articulated wrists, but they don't particularly bother me.
