I don't see how it's close. SS Emma is probably the worst major release I've seen in the last two years. The whole thing is just kind of ugly.

IMO, SS has yet to release a good Emma, every PF of her has had something messed up on it whether it's her body or her portrait... The 1:5 Emma they released was probably their best one.

Neither Emma is perfect IMO, both have things i like and dislike.

SS Emma
- Diamond forum in some way (especially if following juggernaut who's helmet blocks her powers)
- No Side glance
- Sculpted cape to match the color on her costume

XM
- Diamond hand at least, not a rose
- Skin tone
- Back's to arched making it look a bit off.
- Base makes her stand alone against the rest

I have the AH! Emma and she is a perfect representation of her Hellfire days. I did consider the SS version until I found the XM and could still order her.

I would love to see a nicely done diamond form (or partial) but I see the diamond rose as an excess she would indulge in. The base being Hellfire and her being in her X-Men costume I can make a story for that.

If it works for you that's cool, i'm sure you are going to love her. But doesn't work so well for me.

I'm considering just buying the SS version and then doing a custom paint diamond form

I am a little surprised that XM didn't add a diamond arm switch out, or an arm that's half diamond to show she's transforming...

I do agree her base does not allow her to be shown with the rest of the X-Men group (at least not in my collection as all the bases I have are similar) but I will display her on her own shelf.

XM's Professor X in the normal wheelchair might be a cool statue to display next to her.

congratulations to anyone who has this on order....I think she is sold out?

No, she's probably due for Q4 shipping
