So King shows me the new Supergirl action figure, based on the art of Michael Turner. I am not a fan of Turner's art, and I find the comic skeevy as fuck, although I'll allow that it looks real pretty colored. But the dude's tenuous grasp on anatomy has completely eroded and his art is falling down a cliff of WTF.

I think Turner is another one of those artists who makes aspiring artists go "Psst! I could do that." It's a lot of boobs and poufylips and fiddle faddle rendering. Turner doesn't make it look easy, he, like many Image-spawned artists, makes it look like if there's enough foo-foo any number of sins will be overlooked.
I still think the right sculptor, and the right quality control person could've gotten a better sculpt based on Turner's work. I am smacked that the Supergirls that came out late last year were so bad they were recalled (retailers only had to send back heads for credit), and yet this is okay:

This figure reminds me of when, in the late 90's, Diamond would underwrite any schmoe's action figure costs, and we got stellar pieces of plastic like Warrior Nun Areala. Imagine someone four hundred years from now looking at some of these toys trying to figure that shit out. Imagine the puzzlement of the foreign factory worker making them.
