I always liked the look of WH40k's Space Marines -- mostly due to the huge shoulder armor -- but the design apparently looks goofy as a cosplay:

I'd argue that it still looks red in that picture (because it's supposed to be - that was from before the change to pink/blue), though I can acknowledge why looking at a scanned copy of a card that might itself be faded on a computer monitor could make it look pink, though.

I don't remember it *ever* being red, though. Not sure if I got used to the later pink use (especially in the cartoon) and it overwrote my earlier memories, whether I got into the run too late, or if I'm having a Berenstain moment.

But those were more changes over time. It wasn't really a case of, say, her gloves being green in one issue, blue the next, then green again (which would imply it was more of a colorist issue, which happened a lot in older comics), as much as it was incremental changes made as each new artist decided to interpret the character and her style differently (and with occasional breaks like when the X-Men all got matching uniforms for a while, or when there was an in-story reason why she would try to look different from her previous style). Her initial design was yellow/red/green, and was fairly consistent until they eventually made the shift to yellow/pink/blue deliberately.

idk, even if it wasn't necessarily a matter of inconsistency within the same issue, it certainly seemed to change one issue to the next at times *and* trading cards issued within the same year would use different colors iirc.
