As a conoisseur, of sorts, of Reaper Minis and rogues in particular, this is easily the worst representation of an iconic. The pose is awkward and not the least bit stealthy (looks like she is doing the "King Tut" dance) and her face and body look nothing like the art. The "second" version of Valeros (posed like the cover art) is dynamic and a good representation. I saw it being sculpted at Gen Con 09, it is the standard by which all other minis should try to EXCEED. Reaper makes better rogues than this one in their DHL line.
I agree for the most part. Although, you can fix the 'King Tut' dance pose fairly easily by carefully bending the arms down. If I get around to it maybe I'll post a pic of my adjustments.

Note: this is a re-release of the Crocidile sculpt, which seems to have been more "here's the character sculpt them" and less directly from the art.
Here's my painted version of her. I've been painting a lot of drow recently, so I opted for darker hair for a change of pace.
Maybe she's in disguise. ;)
