    The teeth don't bother me. She's in an action pose and it looks more realistic with her teeth showing.

    I actually like it with the teeth! Makes it different to most figures with the D mouth. Plus it would be weird, if her teeth weren't showing, she is in a fighting pose after all!

    Not only do I think figures should show teeth (if the expression calls for it), they should show lips too.

    Figure manufacturers often make the :D or :| expressions. Perhaps this is because they are being true to the anime origins, in which characters typically have a line when they close their mouths or a pink "D" when they open their mouths. If teeth are shown, it's usually two "v" on either side as fangs (an example is Tsuruya-san from Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi).

    After all the effort put into drawing the eyebrows, eyelashes, putting the decals into the eyes and such, giving figures a near non-existent nose and a smiley :) expression just seems criminal.

    I don't see what's wrong with the teeth. It's more realistic - looks much better than a big empty hole for a mouth to me.

    No Problem with the teeth. The figure looks more realistic that way.
    I don't get why the teeth is such a bother for you?
    She is screaming her fighting spirit out of her heart so teeth should be showing.

    The teeth bothered me when I first saw them on a different angle, but I really don't mind them on this angle. I kind of want that figure now, but after Saber Lily, I'm still trying to recover.

    Don't really like the teeth. People are saying that it's more realistic but since when is being realistic always positive? I like it unrealistic.

      On second thought, is it the teeth? Something around the mouth bothers me but not sure if it's the teeth or not. A great figure and must buy for many nonetheless.

    Well the teeth for me add a 3d aspect to it since thats what your getting when you buy a figure,a 3d model of your favorite anime characters. Just look at the detail on the figure, the :D would probably ruin it in my opinion. Great figure with teeth or not eh? :)
