It looks a little wonky that most of the attachment points on the torso aren’t used. Especially the tail, it feels less like a mermaid tail and more like a regular tail on a legless creature.

I concur with Racie; the hip connectors on the torso going completely unused feels really weird proportionally. Also, as it’s supposed to be a Siren, I’m not sure what the ears(?) are meant to represent. Sirens are traditionally and historically depicted as either bird-like or mermaid-like, and neither of them have pronounced ears.

I second the points above. However, I would like to make my appreciation known that this actually feels like it could have been a 2015 Skull Villain set, unlike many other G1 and G2 MOCs. Even the unused connection spots hearken directly back to those sets.
My main complaint is how far their head and arms sit above their torso, as I feel that it stretches the body a little too much. Perhaps it’s the angle, as they do look better in the rendered shots, but, in the real-life shot, it looks a little strange.

Thank you all
And yeah I wanted it to feel like the 2015 sets
As for the head I think it’s just the angle I took the photo, it’s attached normally to the medium hf torso

Me, too! The lack of proper covering and that cost-cut look a lot of G2 had makes it feels like more of an acutal set. I like it because of that quality!
