So I'm merely posting my comment/opinion. In that pic, the girl is twisting her body, that's why you see creases on her side. Phoenix is not twisting and bending her body, so there shouldn't be creases.
Meet you half way, no creases or wrinkles but give her outfit some sort of hi-tech fabric pattern

I don't want a painted on look. But I think the idea of "folds" and "creases" is getting blown out of proportion.

Yes, the design currently has some movement/crease already built in, not nearly as much as the art, but they are there. However I think the issue is in the breast area. The issue with the boob fabric isn't that it needs more creases, it just needs to not grip the underside, and in between, her breasts as much. She has her arms up and reached out to the sides and, yet, the outfit is still behaving like her arms are down her breasts are in a lower position.

Everybody here has seen tight shirts on women. Hell, I wear them a lot and I'm plenty endowed, and I can tell you that there is no way in that position an item of clothing would grip across and under breasts like on this statue. Nope nope.

Don't take this as me wanting her boobs hidden or diminished. I've always enjoyed T more than A when admiring a woman. But Jean is a classy lady, she shouldn't be portrayed like she's fighting a murderous robot in body paint. Leave that type of slutty image to somebody more known for it.....like Emma Frost

I have not critiqued the Antman as I'm not interested in it.
Im not saying more details isn't a great thing...I'm just saying that I don't think Phoenix needs it.

I'm not making the statue so XM is going to do what XM is going to do. I will be along for the ride.

If they add more great....if they don't great.

Oh yeah, i remember seeing bunch of pictures of their store of Hulk and Cap and other avengers but haven't seen any of some of the newer collectibles maybe they don't want to put any of them up until they are near completion….

That's my plan as well and I definitely think all three will RAWK lined up next to each other on some classy looking pedestals. That's how I plan to display them. Mags, Wolverine and Phoenix - can't wait to have them in my collection.


I can't believe the discussion is still going on regarding Phoenix's costume. At this point, her fate is in XM's hands so what's the point of continuing this discusson?

I think XM needs to ask themselves, should we make a better Bowen statue or should we make another XM Grail... because right now jean (minus the bird) looks like something Bowen would create.

I guess we are hoping XM can shine some lights on it. Once we know, then the whole argument can die down.

Either one would be a grail.
