[QUOTE="TheGlen, post: 9338412, member: 6799602"] We know the original art was a man because Elmore had a very distinctive style in which he drew women. And that is not one of his women. Aleena, Goldmoon, Illyana Penhaligon (the Aleena's sister art), Laurana and the rest all had the same body. And often the face. Fantasy artists still joke about the Elmore chin. Issue isn't the mini it's the marketing. It's the 50th anniversary. All the other miniatures are faithful recreations. Except the efreet because you can't have a damsel in distress anymore. This particular piece of art is targeted towards the grogs the ones that bought the basic set all those years ago. If you change what they are expecting they're not going to want to buy it. It doesn't hold the same attachment for people who got into the game later they've got their own art that inspired them. Whoever made the change made the change because they wanted it not because the customers did. And worse there are dozens of iconic D&D females that you could have used. Morgan Ironwolf. Alias of the Azure Bonds. Lidda. Imoen. Glasya. I pay good money for a Morgan figure. We are consumers give us the stuff that we want to consume. You'll make a lot more money that way [/QUOTE]
