Colossus would probably work, Iceman too. But not this Jean Grey one. Not 90s blue team cyclops or gold team storm. Plus the non X-men Marvel characters tend to be getting done in more modern looks - e.g. Cap, Thor. Its annoying getting a hodge podge of looks from different eras if you want to display your statues as a big group.
I like complete teams so I mix and match. I have a 70s group and a 90s group:
70s: Storm PF, Wolverine PF, XM Phoenix
90s: Cyclops, Gambit, Psylocke, Rogue, Jean, Colossus PFs, XM Storm

Whoever makes Nightcrawler or Angel, they’ll go with my 70s line up. I didn’t PO XM wheelchair Xavier but he’d go with them as well. When I get a brown Wolverine and Iceman they’ll go with the 90s team. As whoever is made by whichever company they’ll fill in where appropriate to build the team.

Expecting a complete team in corresponding costumes from sideshow is just something that ain’t gonna happen. This “X-Men Collection” is too far gone already.

Juggossus was temporary.
That’s not Jean it’s Danger.
And this was a decent comic before AvX F’d it all up lol. When Wolverine took a bunch of X-Men and students with him during the “Schism” Cyclops was only able to retain the “bad” X-Men (except Storm who he asked to stay because he knew everyone else was perceived as being bad).

Paint job on WW's head was terrible. That's why i cancelled my order and let's hope Jean turns out better.

Hoping its not a danger room theme. It was cool, but now its way overdone.

Anything but... any ideas?

I like how this piece came from out of knowhere - Boom!

It looks good. The paint app doesn't look super amazing realistic, which is a good thing - as it looks possible a factory could replicate it without too much compromise. At the same time, the piece looks fairly simplistic. I'd expect the price point to be lower than $600

I'm just hoping SS will surprise us the same way with other X-Men characters that have yet to be made.
They did tease one non-rehash xmen character. I wonder who it will be.
