Looking over the women's headsculpts from other lines (in that same time period), the better ones are generally of a far larger scale (and several of those are still less than stellar). In the under 5" category, MASK's (well,
VENOM
's) Vanessa Warfield looks pretty nice, if slightly soft/simplified. However, take Anne Lewis from Kenner's "RoboCop & The Ultra Police", for example. You could basically swap her head onto a figure of Sam from "Lord of the Rings", and likely not even notice.
* Even the original one with the melon head.
** Kinda like Joan Cusack, actually.
Yeah, as much as I’m a huge fan of 80s pop culture, that’s an area where things were not good : (
