The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Here is the pic they used to announce the DRS storm statue. Doesnt mean anything but if we want to assume they use this as a reference then it will be Jim lee costume (like the others), color some sort of grey, and they want to incorporate lightning and flying.

I was just messing around, but that's very nice of you. I appreciate the emotional support. Yes, indeed...sage advice.

I'd love a silver version, but if it comes out white and it's great I'll still get it. But to expect people not to speculate, argue, debate and have a bit of fun about new sculpts is a little naive in my opinion.

Part of the reason most of us post on a forum is because we want to hear the opposing viewpoints and differing views.
Just joshin...I don't care what color she is. I just think the "debate" ran its course pages ago. By all means, though...rock that ----. I'll just wait for the reveal.

Silver Grey, and by that, a dusty grey with a little shine. Nothing super chromed like Colossus.

I think it has real potential to pop if done right.

We're statue geeks man, our debates never end

If I'm honest with myself, while I would prefer silver, if the sculpt knocks it out the f'ing park then I'll be buying whatever colour she is.

White has more potential to pop. In fact it will definitely pop when lined up with the other X-Men (see below). I know, I know, you say white is not comic book actuate, but it's hard to tell the true color with so many variations of shading in each comic panel. Sometimes it looks grey, sometimes silver, white, and even shiny black.

I'll continue to campaign for white, because it just looks better to me.

In all honesty , more than happy to see Storm get the DRS treatment more than anything else. Like mentioned earlier would definitely prefer the white costume but apart from just preference going by Koto's track record of paint jobs , i just feel that even if the production pieces turn out flat compared to the prototype the white would look better than a silver since metallic colours are tricky if not done properly.
Would always hope for Koto to up their game on their paint jobs and not have to worry about that issue with this line moving forward and with the revival of the DRS series it's given the Fine Art Line a new life. So hoping for the best. Cheers guys

My problem with white is that it turns to be yellowish if displayed for a long time. especially for tropical countries like where I live.

*waves* Sweet there's someone from the D.C. Metro Area in here.

I'm also very excited for Storm and I also have the Rogue one as well. I'm really loving this hobby and this announcement!
