Having seen the new Raoul Spector model I have to say I can only hope for Mary to be included in some weird Defiance Box. I feel as if they gave us shitty models, just to sell Defiance - which actually shows, what the designers can accomplish. Very few models in there, that aren't amazing in my eyes.
IMO Tunguska starter set is hands down the most beautiful beginner pack available, also as a faction is drop dead gorgeous, that's why Mary and Roaul stick out like a sore thumb. This is just my conspiracy theory but Defiance took all the men power and this as a result regular releases suffered, not saying in quality but are not as awesome as Defiance minis, some are really breathtaking.
I don't think Mary is that terrible of a sculpt. I think the issue is the miniature does not correlate well with the imagination that was created in the fluff around the character. I personally expected to see a different facial expression, not the dour look she has.
Maybe they should make cooler profiles then! What's wrong with buying the Outrage box and using Uhahu? Think you missed a NOT in there, but I agree with the revised statement. The mini doesn't match the mental image from the fluff (which is the same problem I had with the original Su Jian).
Mary is supposedly not looking like a child / not of childish figure. So the Wardriver or Brawler Hacker or any other hacker might be a closer Proxy.
Regarding Mary...I mean just look at her icon in Infinity Army. I got a clear vibe from that, that the miniature does nothing to realise. Mary is described as: "Nice legs, a criminal smile"*. I don't find her Legs nice. Quite the opposite. The smile? Which one exactly? Maybe Max Scorpio has strange tastes. She's a rebel, spreading anarchy, while grinning over her whole face*. The model though...there's no HACKTUNG, no russian vibe, no punk vibe, nothing but a pink submachine gun on her back... I mean, go read her up. There's no model in the book, but I clearly got pictures from reading her Fluff. The model is not it. *Daedalus' Fall
