She is also a mage and those age slower and have longer lifespans. Anyway in the game she looks younger and even if they want to make the sculpture more realistically (e.g. the eyes of women in WoW are not), it should still be close to her game presentation as much as possible.

Is this stated anywhere or is it just your headcanon? Antonidas, the oldest Human wizard featured in the lore (aside from Khadgar who is a special case) was just 71 years old when he died against Arthas.
It is not headcanon, although am not sure if this implies to every mage or only to most powerful ones. From the looks of Jaina and that she is one of the strongest mages on Azeroth, it seems true to her.
If it’s not headcanon, give me an example of a Human mage who lived for longer than most other Humans. Except Turalyon who was Lightforged by Xe’ra, and Khadgar who was magically aged.
You can look at wowpedia, where it is stated that magic can prolong your life.
I saw a comment about her face that it looks like an asian male’s stiched to woman’s body.
When you see the face really close it kind of gives that feeling ![:joy:](https://d1bg94bbsh66ji.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/joy.png?v=6" ":joy:")
It’s a shame though, because the rest of the statue is magnificent, the details and all that but the face doesn’t seem like Jaina’s at all.
Plus i feel bad for the sculptors, i bet they put lots of work in there only to see people not liking it at all because of the face. (although understandably people don’t like it) But it makes you think how that person (the sculptor) must be feeling after all the backlash.

It doesn’t look that different. It’s harder to recreate as a statue than it is in game.
There’s also been several iterations of how the character looks like. In every new medium they tend to change her. Is the statue more like how they envisioned Jaina to look like.
There’s no denying that the current in game model looks very similar to the Human female model so did that limit her look.
Cus they got it wrong… They should have another go. Just doesn’t look anything like her. Hasn’t captured her expression at all. At that price it should reflect the character. The Sylvanas one does… so why not this one.

Like someone else said in another thread - if it looked like her in-game version Disney would sue them.
You made that statement, the burden of proof is on you. Surely you don’t expect me to look through every Wowpedia regarding magic for that one hypothetical line? That’s YOUR job, as you made that bold claim.
I’ve meant it like, that this is my source of the information.
The example given is Aegwynn.
“Extending life through magic:
Some powerful mages can extend their lives through magic. The most prominent example being Aegwynn who lived to be over 800 years old. She of course is a very special case as she had the powers of a Guardian at her disposal.”
What little I’ve seen of it, she looked like a recolored Elsa from Frozen.

I was eager to buy it until I saw the face. The rest of it looks great but… yikes… that face…
If its not too late fix the face.

Most people seem to agree that the face does not fit, also on this thread:
Maybe there is still hope they change it if they see the community not being happy with it? I do not really think so, but who knows? 
I wish that to happen, but at the same time I doubt it.
It is just why they went so far from other presentations of her in the game (multiple models)/comics, which were different, yet you clearly knew it was her. If they gave the sculpture different armour, noone might say that it is Jaina’s interpretation at all.

I guess the same art bods who did the replacement models for our characters got at the statue too. 
Owww another Zandalari joining the ranks. Good, good. But I still have soft spot for Kazachka.
The statue sucks, the face doesn’t look like Jaina at all. I have absolutely no idea why they thought it looked good enough to sell.
dat chest doe. Ayyy karamba

That one does look more like her, but looks cheaper; like her hair looks like it’s just clicked on the head like a construction kit.
