no kidding, at least I might get this one.
With the other stuff I've ordered lately getting allocated I'm starting to get a complex.

Maybe there is a support group for this...

Kitty and Colossus is the only ones I will get from this line.The rest fall a little short.

I got mine and it's great! Detail, paints, and scale are perfect. Really looks good in person.

There is a problem with this bust, it keeps wanting to fall over, anyone else have problems with this. Lockheed is too heavy and pulling her over.

I hadn't sat her down when I checked it out, but that was my first thought when I saw the base.

Falling would suck too, since Lockheed's wings seem pretty brittle.

Other than that, do you agree it's pretty sweet? :buttrock:

Yeah, it is a GREAT sculpt, I think this line will rock! Just try it real fast and see if yours does it, if you don't mind?

I've had this on preorder with my shop for months now, and yet they didn't have mine this week. I'm begining to hate them...I'm not a huge fan of Kitty, but this bust looks very nice. As does this whole line.

Call them tomorrow and ask if they are recieving it this week, I do that all the time, just to bug my comic shop. :laugh:

I thought I would be disappointed when I saw this Kitty Bust on the website and in Marvel Review. It turns out great when the styrofoam packaging was opened at my local comics shop. I purchase it right away. Some busts just don't capture well on photos, you have to see it, to believe.

Yes, the wet look in the eyes, lips and Lockheed's mouth are a nice touch.

Wouldn't be as good for his self-esteem if he looked "tiny" next to her, though. :laugh:

Are you sure this is a girl sculpt? Like you, the paint seems really nice and the detail on the costume and dragon are good. Having said that, she's still ugly in the face (like a poorly done Harry Potter villain). How does the face look in person? From the pics she looks like she's had one too many face lifts. I suppose woman are more difficult to sculpt.

I think it is good. Looks like a young girl. More realistic than comic, IMO. Waaaay better than the other K.P. that came out.

I couldn't agree more on that one.
I think it looks good as well, not perfect but good

Yes, it is WAY better than the other, but still has a case of "man face" IMO.

I think it's the angle of the photos that makes her face look not so great.

I did already. The lackies there didn't even know what I was talking about. I miss my old shop. :(

Got mine today, #783. The sculptor, Igor Fernandez, did a bang up job. Great job following cassidy's art.

I have to agree with the fact that the face on kitty just looks horrible. One of the reasons I passed on this line altogether. Even my favourite character Colossus looks to be constipated.

See it in person. its really nice. I thought this was gonna be the worst of the group, and if it is this is gonna be one heck of a line. Bring on the new Avengers!

Finally got mine. The face is fine, but mine has a small case of the wobblies and the paint (especially the yellow) looks really dark/muddy in person. But it's still nice overall. And Lockheed is huge! (And copping a feel I might add. Cheeky extraterrestrial dragon!)

Here's a close up and a size comparison.

Nice grouping and display in that second pic, U.P.!

That's why I like variety in sizes of all my statues/MB. :buttrock:

Is that a Wolverine all the way to the right on a rock? What is that?

Yeah, I believe it's a promotional piece they did for the X-Men dvd release. They sell it for pretty cheap on Ebay.

Yeah, it's "Movie Wolverine" on an iceberg. I got it off of eBay for $0.99. They made like 45,000 of the little buggers.

Here we are, 4 months on and I finally got my hands on this one. I'm so pleased with the paint job on this. I don't know what half of you are on about, her face looks perfectly fine to me. Lockheed is superbly sculpted. Great bust, I'm very happy with it. Looks smaller than my Emma Frost though. :inquisiti

I like the costume, which is better than any other Kitty outfits in the past. Her face and the colors make me not want to get it, and wait for the BD version.

I hope Bowen doesn't come up with the Sprite version of Kitty with her student mask and outfit. Boooo!

Yes, it was much better than I had hoped for, really like the bust.

Don't need to get a bowen one now. Her astonishing x-men outfit is my favorite version. :thumbs2:
