Great character, much prefer this over She-Thor.

I'd love to see Beta Ray Bill next, would be a perfect companion piece for Lady Sif.

I really don't like the running pose, but Sif is one of my favorites. Why can't they just do something regal and powerful to go with the Thor statue? IMO the only statues that should be running are the speedsters.

As good as She-Thor is looking...I want them equally! They both will look exquisite! I sense a trough of Cosmic / Asgardian characters about to trickle out of the minds at XM.

My prediction for future characters we will see soon are:

1) Loki
2) Enchantress and Executioner
3) Beta Ray Bill
4) Hercules
5) Baldur
6) Ares
7) Zeus
8) Odin
9) Nova
10) Guardians of the Galaxy

I think the only question is NOT IF...but WHEN!!

Ohhhhhh wonderful day!

I love the design of Sif, I HOPE that one of her change-outs is to her giant broadsword. That is vintage Sif.

What I'm not crazy about is the base. It's too big. I don't mean height, I mean around. Why does this one has to be so wide (left to right, not back to front)?

And what do people think about skirt vs no-skirt? I really like they went modern and removed it.

I like the skirt better. It's classic and sexier.

I think that adding the skirt would allow the statue to have more texture variation, but then it's similar to Lady Thor.

I'm torn. They could have gone either way, it's just great to see her finally being made :)

I think it's safe to say...more Asgardians and female characters are not that far behind. That's a great thing!

I long for the day XM does an Enchantress and Gamora and Hela Goddess of Death. :praying:

I hope this looks great as it comes together because I'm still not sold on the pose. Would prefer something more regal, powerful and goddess-like. However I've been impressed with the She-Thor so will wait and see. I'd absolutely like to see XM produce more Asgardians, including Loki on throne, Angela, Hela, Enchantress, Valkyrie (on Aragorn) Enchantress and maybe Executioner. With so much now coming out in 1:4 I'm thinking of finally selling off some of the Bowen pieces.

The base on this looks bulky but pretty self contained which is nice. And with Sif being in a running pose, the base shouldn't look big just to be big.

This is shaping up quite nicely! I love the details on her costume and the shield with the arrows in it is a great change out!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a change of head option because in this 3D render showing her straight on, I'm not loving her face. Printed and painted could be a whole different ballgame

I like the concept and pose. It works for me as it says fearless Asgardian warrior. However, Lady Sif isn't just simply a fearless Asgardian warrior. There's much more to her which distinguishes her from every other random Asgardian with a lust for battle. The issue for me is she isn't curvy enough and sadly, her face isn't very pretty to look at. Her face lacks elegance and beauty. I actually expect that kind of snarl and grimace on Loki. This is my first impression. That "no nonsense look" was also one of the issues with the Phoenix portrait as well.

You can be a fierce warrior and still look pretty. I imagine this can be addressed in a second portrait. However, the body type could be more feminin looking too. Lady Sif is supposed to be one the hottest women in Asgard too. Sadly, I don't see that aspect show in this prelim. We live in an era of collecting where fans who read comics are outnumbered by those who don't so they primarily buy statues largely if not solely based on how they look. You stand a better chance of better sales figures if fans think she's sexy too.

dechirico7
03-28-2016, 07:52 AM
I like it, but it almost feels too "Conan" to me. The red needs to be more saturated, brighter. There should be red, white and silver tones in her costume, not tans and browns. I agree, the face isn't great, but I am afraid it will be worse if they change it.

nexus
03-28-2016, 08:01 AM
Looks good, but would prefer a more regal standing pose to go with Thor and the upcoming BRB. Haven't decided if I'll get this one or convert a SS statue. I think the cape should be longer and maybe there will be a second portrait.

Demona
03-28-2016, 08:17 AM
I like that she's not standing there. Between her, BRB and Lady Thor -- they are clearing waging a solid war against a foe.

Not gonna lie, I like the short cape. Makes for easy of display, especially since Lady Thor and BRB will be sucking up space with capes :)

AC_808
03-28-2016, 08:18 AM
Kudos to all of you! I regard Sif the same way ...she is a warrior but a very beautiful goddess at the same time.

I would like to see this statue a great representation of her, too. She needs to have a beautiful portrait ...with a beautiful figure. Even if she's screaming or has a determined look ...her portrait needs to be prettier.

So true. I admire the dynamic pose, but a regal pose to go with BRB and/or Thor would be great. Perhaps a semi-dynamic pose would work.

I totally agree here, and as I said on XMs page the pose and the expression are pretty bang on. They show a fairly realistic female warrior getting ready to lay the smack down on someone. The problem is that for the most part people don't like looking at a REALLY ticked off woman. Let's be honest many a man has spent an entire marriage trying to avoid every SEEING a woman as angry as XM has here. That and crying, hence the term "ugly cry" or even "ugly angry". I think as long as they have a determine looking switch out they will be fine. However if they were to decrease some of the lines on her face, as they are ageing her a bit this head will look better.

I like the pose. I envision Thor out in front pointing leading the charge while the others are behind him charging forward.

Ok, here is what I wrote on XM's facebook page:

"Ooh my good gosh Damn! Absolutely awesome and engaging statue. For me, I absolutely enjoy the current fierce head sculpt because unlike the more expressionless Ms. Marvel...Sif has personality. What I will say is that there should be another more calm, but fierce determined head sculpt that provides another feel...like Charles states. For me, I would absolutely display Lady Sif with the more fierce warrior expression. It's what gives her personality. Every other statue has simple looking female face...and it becomes boring."

I wrote a second entry showing facial expressions that absolutely fit the current pose...and if the pose was to stay, I don't see a more regal / determined "prettier" portrait that could be done WITH THIS POSE. So here is what I posted in my second entry:

"Ok...so I was thinking about this further...and what I came up with concerns pose in conjunction with portrait. Firstly, with the action pose shown, it makes absolute sense to have a battle laden portrait like with what is shown. A calm portrait would not work as well with this pose....so that leads me to suggest that the pose needs to be adjusted for less action and more regal IF a different portrait is done. IMO, I feel that for the pose, the current portrait is the best one that makes sense. I am posting some further pics on a battle laden Sif...which goes in conjunction with the concept pose chosen and done for her. Either change the pose so you can have a more "beautiful" Sif and possibly have two different portraits....OR....leave the pose as is and the current head, but add a less enraged second portrait as well."

I'll post some pics up shortly...tinypic is in maintenance currently.

It is still in the 3D render stage....much easier to change it now...not drastically....just less dynamic (I can't believe I just said that:nuts:).

I just feel if she is in a less agressive lunging forward type pose...it would be better suited to carry two different portraits that would satisfy both crowds or less action, more beautiful / regal....and more action battle fury emotion.

I don't think the pose needs to be changed in order to get a non-screaming - and therefore more beautiful - portrait.

I think she can have a powerful, fierce portrait with her body style as it is now. Just imagine her about to whoop somebody without screaming. It's just like the Lady Thor portrait. Calm, but fierce.

Take away the swinging arm and have it look like she's walking forward and into the fray: design a left arm that is lowered instead of raised. This should give the impression of composed charging.

IMO there's no way to give a calm, plainly pretty portrait. She's going to have to be attractively angry in one of them for the pose to work.

Redpower
03-28-2016, 02:58 PM
Me, i m not talking of more beautiful portrait or change the pose or even else. just when i see the last pics posted of her, i don't see the same women and face, same design, just like she is swinging, jumping with determination calm and fierce of the lady sif design on the first page.
Now i see more a other women just ready to sword someone.

She's actually more a companion to Beta Ray Bill. I think once all of them are together....Thor on one end BRB on the other and Lady Sif in the middle....it will make the beginnings of one bad ass Asgardian line of statues! I just hope Loki and KURSE (Hulk level power) are two of the next to follow.

This is why I think the screaming portrait now works excellently with the pose.

I am baffled that XM redid anything on this piece. And IMO, not all the changes are for the better.

I hate what they did to her boots. But I get the point of making the shield smaller and adding detail on her skirt. I'm not loving the look on the "smirks" face, but if may be better printed.

Clearly, these redone modifications are nothing short of great IMO. All of them give the overall statue extra pop. The smaller shield was the biggest improvement as it reveals more of the character. The head sculpt, even though I liked the open mouth version, had issues with the teeth. Kind of reminded me of the SS Magneto Comiquette about 8 years ago with the terribly done teeth. Her teeth are much bigger and more pronounced....not teeny tiny and gummy like before!

Another stellar statue!

But I'm finding myself doubting if this character is worthy of the money it will take to get her. I'm starting to feel like the SSC version might be enough for this character ...like the SSC money is what I'm willing to spend on this character ...not the XM money amount.

You are thinking about the wrong character. Not talking about She-Thor...which XM is much more visually appealing with a more dynamic pose...but Lady Sif. SS is not doing her...probably ever!

Yeah, money is always going to play a factor. But for me I'm willing to pay a little extra for xm version. You don't see that many aggressive woman statues at all. XM nailed it with the pose and look. I believe only 600 are being made compared to SS 4000 or so. I'm just really tired SS and all the mixed media they seem to be doing even though I like their sculpt as well.

I pretty much feel the same way. The only exception going forward that I will pay overseas shipping is with XM exclusives that are must have pieces for me.

The range estimate on this is pretty significant, $1150 to $1450.

On one hand, I love it and would easily pay $600 for her, $800 is doable, then getting above $1000 is harder to rationalize.

What are my chances down the road getting her second hand or otherwise for less than a $1000?

She's never officially gone up through XM's website, so not sure what is happening with her at this point.

My suggestion would be, if you're a member of the XM Facebook community group, to ask Bryan or Ben or Ang what the status of her is. One of them always answers with as much info as they can publicly share.

I recently asked what was happening with the Jane Foster Thor piece, and they responded that they weren't happy with her and she is being re-worked.

The Deposit Will Be Subtracted From The Full Price

Nice work!

awesome! you did a great job, I've been waiting to pre-order her so I hope XM does put it up for PO.

Thank you for doing so, this is an absolute dream Marvel piece for me.

Thank you so much, guys!
I love this piece. I also designed their Beta Ray Bill statue. My other personal favorite that I designed for XM is Lobo. :)
