Storm looks stunning, are you sure your looking at the right statue. Personally i even think storm looks better than dp.

This is why I don’t bother chiming on any x threads. She is def not one of the best ( it’s all personal anyways ).

Ghost rider
Magneto throne
Hulk buster
Venom
Black panther
Weapon x
Samurai Batman
Poison ivy
Transformers ( all of them )

She’s not in that league . I’m sorry

I’m getting both and I think Dark Phoenix is better. I actually think DP is one of the best statues XM has ever done!

I would say tier 1 would be Magneto, Ghost rider, Cable, Hulkbuster, Weapon X, Samurai Batman and soon to be Dark Phoenix. Tier 2 I would put Venom (close to Tier 1 but the other statues just have more details and are more impressive) Storm, Black Panther, Electro, Poison Ivy, Namor, Iron Fist, etc. I’m leaving out some because there are a lot of good statues on the horizon but haven’t been released yet. I don’t collect or really know anything about transformers but they do look amazing

Everyone has their favorites i won’t turn this into a bash Storm thread. No need that’s what XM Kraven is for lmao! I could find something in everything done so far I don’t like but I’m looking at the real stand outs. I don’t collect 1/4 X men but if I did XM is one stop shopping no doubt.

I don't know what you're talking about with this insane statement. Where is there a better Jim Lee version of Storm than this?! Because there isn't. Anywhere.

And if you're talking about female pieces none of us have seen, I'm still calling bullsh!t that this Storm piece isn't in the top 5 after all the X-ladies are revealed. Right now, I'm not even sure I would put Dark Phoenix above Storm. In hand pics will determine that for me (and yes, I bought both).

I may be a diehard X-Man fan, but I can appreciate the beauty of some of the Spider-Man rogues. Electro and Lizard are two of my favorite pieces by XM. They are on the same level as Storm. HOWEVER they are not on the same popularity level as Storm, hence me questioning if Storm will reach (or exceed) the 999.

She won't exceed. That's a guarantee since they've started Marvel is still maxed out at 999.

I'm guessing she'll land in the 500-750 range.

Storm is a popular character, more popular than any of Spiderman's rogue gallery villains, maybe except for Venom. There is a reason why ES are low in those pieces (let the sh!tstorm come ).

I'm a fan of the X-men, well, the 80s X-men, but Storm ranks at the bottom of popularity for me and I really don't like head up poses, but in this statue, I see it captures the character very well, especially, the laughing portrait. Very dynamic and great intensity.

I can get why some people don't like Storm. I'm not really sure how that happens, but I can kinda see it

What I don't get is Rogue's huge popularity. Out of the gate people were gaga for her and now she's almost viewed as the flagship X-Men female. It's taken me quite some time to love her character, but she will never be as beloved as Storm. Love me some Ororo.

Psylocke is probably the X-lady I find the least amount of attraction to. I think her look - even as Betsy pre-body switch - is amazing! However, her personality and emotional issue escape me. X-Force helped me like her more, but not by much.
