"Cybil Bennet" Skin is ABHORRENTLY Bad

Edit: I have since crossed out the details regarding her face, as in a recent update they made her look how she does in SH1. All my criticism other than that though still applies and is relevant because all they did was change her face.

As if Legendary/linked sets weren't terrible enough, this new "Cybil" skin is a new low for these skins. I don't even know where to start, there is SO much wrong with it, and I thought Lisa's skin was bad for looking nothing like the source material. Just stop making these skins forcibly linked Behavior, if Legion and the L4D survivor skins are fully customizable, then there is no reason why ANY skin should be a forced set, Legendary or not.

I'm just going to list the multitude of things wrong with this outfit, which you can see in the picture above (and feel free to click on it to zoom in if some details are too small to see).

  • Her face is completely wrong, she looks like Amy Poehler on crack. Her nose is too small, her eyebrows are the wrong color and the wrong shape, her face shape is completely wrong, and her lips are overly glossy.
  • Normal Cybil has a little eyeshadow, but not to the extent that DbD "Cybil" does. It makes her look like she hasn't slept in months. Also, her eyes are the incorrect size, it looks really off.
  • Her hair is completely wrong on whatever graphic settings you play on, not only is the color not her platinum blonde, but it just looks like a cheap wig.
  • Her waist is waaaay too low, and seeing as this is supposed to be a $15 FORCED LINKED SET you'd think they'd actually make it the right height. The lower pants means you could mix and match her cosmetics with Cheryl, but they don't let you swap them so why are they so low?
  • Her shirt and gloves aren't right, you can notice how original Cybil's gloves and sleeves have a large space between the clothing and the skin, making them stand out more. Plus her gloves don't look like someone recolored her skin texture like they do in DbD. Her shirt also rolls over the edge of her leather pants ("muffin topping", if you will), which isn't a thing on DbD "Cybil"
  • Her arms are super skinny for no reason. You can see in the left pictures how she has regular sized arms, but in DbD her arms look like a 9-year-old kid. It looks awful and it might because of my next point.
  • They got super lazy and just re-used Cheryl's torso, not even bothering to change it. You can see the cuts on "Cybil's" arms, which are the EXACT same ones Cheryl has.
  • Tying into the re-use of Cheryl's torso, you can see that "Cybil's" skin color at the neck doesn't match up (you might have to zoom in), only further showing how they didn't even bother to change it.
  • Even though this is a "new character" she doesn't have her own VA or prestige. How can you restrict us with customization when you can't even be bothered to do the bare minimum in making this BE a different character?

Seriously, did no one care at all? The lack of quality control on this and all of Cheryl's other skins is ridiculous. Oh but this is totally worth $15 right? A skin that you can't customize at all, that doesn't have it's own VA or prestige, and doesn't even look how it should. I can guarantee you that if we had the ability to customize linked sets you would not see as many complaints; at least then we'd have freedom and didn't feel like we're getting ripped off for terrible skins that aren't anywhere close to being worth $10-$15. They also don't fix clipping issues like the devs like to claim, they still have multitudes of clipping problems so there's no reason why we should be limited in customization. They could easily make Legendarys and sets customizable, but they don't and that's bullshit.
