SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Kind of sad to go to that much effort and not remain an accurate reference for collectors.
Reminds me of those old Soviet airbrushed photos.

Wow.

Erasing women, literally.

Given the evil nature of Efreet, what they're implying here is rather than the magic-user and fighter rescuing the woman, something terrible happened to her.  Portraying violence against women, even her death - or worse!  God, how problematic.

Also, if it wasn't two hundred fucking dollars, you could fix it pretty easily: remove the knight from the hand, replace with this mini from Reaper (after you remove the base, of course):

Well that's pretty silly. If you didn't like the original, why choose that to make a replica of that particular thing in the first place? And if it's purely because you think it will sell best, then don't you think it would sell best if it was an accurate copy of the actual thing you're copying? Was there some demand for this particular thing, but meaningfully altered like that, which exceeded demand for the original version? I doubt it.

Because it's the WoTC SJWs trying to erase history. Communists do that.

Where are you pre-ordering it from?

Oh, I'm not preordering it, but it was something I saw while browsing Game Nerdz which is a store in north-central Texas, round-abouts of Waco or Plano or something.

Not sure if I am engaging in violence against MS Paint or memes as a format (or gratuitous ellipsis) but...here goes.
