Best Classified figure in my opinion.

Landed at a six. Did not like the execution on the face, and mine developed an arm issue over time.

A much better figure than a '7' sounds like. She's actually an awesome figure. It's just so hard to judge these things on a ten-point scale. When there are so many figures that are 8's, 9's and 10's... it automatically bumps her down a little bit.
Cover Girl loses a little bit for the arm that doesn't stay connected. Loses another point for her legs being a cheap repaint of Lady Jaye. |

Probably the only face sculpt this artist did that isnt awesome. I covered parts of the face to see which area was putting me off . The eyes are fine but the way cheeks bone are prominent and lowercheeks suck in and lips fish out . Its like stupid selfie pic. Not feeling anime box artwork . all recent released boxarts are golden.
The Figure itself is good to have .mine seems to be fine with arm .not of enough female figures. I knocked off 2 points because I had replace the head. Last edited by Cosmic creeper; 08-10-2023 at 12:28 AM.. |

I love the box art.
I love the hair. Don't care for the face sculpt. I hate to say stuff like that because later it always turns out the face sculpt is based on like the voice artist or a person who saved the sculptors life from rampaging alligators as a child, but it's not really how I see Cover Girl. But I love the brown hair. GI Joe comic number 23 was my introduction to Cover Girl and that's still how I expect her to look. And she's inseparable from Clutch in my mind.

I gave her a 7. Mine did not come with the inverted torso or the loose arms. Maybe I haven't posed her or had her handle any weapons too much for it to show. Is the face sculpt a bit over the top? Yes it is, but it seems to me that the designer thought of current "model" and just went on Instagram and saw girls with heavy botox and duck lips. I guess that's a classic look with modern interpretation?

I'm giving her a four. Mine has terrible, loose knee joints and the paint apps on the face are awful. Add to that the plastic-free package with the craptacular artwork and it's a damn shame, because I liked the design of the figure... it's just the execution that screwed up.
That's quite the statement but I know you're saying it honestly, it's one of my favorites too. Quote:

I gave her a 7. I really want to love this figure, but honestly I have to say of all the classified female figures she has the worst head sculpt. I think the make-up is too heavy and dark on her and feels really off putting. Everything else about the figure I like. Her body is good and love her accessories, even if they are given everyone them now a days.
Her render looks a lot better than the final product and think its reflective of the QC issues with this wave. Even the Outback from this wave, which is a great sculpt and I love his Tiger Force version, suffers from derpy eyes, which detracts from how he looks. Worst wave by far in my opinion. Thankfully my figure doesn't have the arm issues that seems so prevalent with most of her figures. Crosses fingers they redo this figure to come with a Wolverine sometime in the future. |

I gave her an 8. Solid figure and mine didn't have the inverted torso, nor was the make-up that off. It's just an odd sculpt for Covergirl. I get they were probably going for a more classic, mature, Euro "model" type (like a Moore era Bond Girl), but I felt they just missed the mark here. IMO, it doesn't work. Other than that, great figure. The jacket is awesome, tablet with the Wolverine was a beautiful attention to detail, as was the wrench and the loop in the belt to hold it.
