She looks nearly identical to the prototype, so I think anyone who ordered this will be pleased with it. It would honestly be a homerun for me if the sculpt had been tweaked.

Pretty much. Over the years I've noticed there's some incredibly sad, depraved people in this hobby.

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

I'm very happy with her. This was a piece, when it was first shown, that I was initially pretty disappointed with. But, over time, it really grew on me and I ended up liking her more and more.

In hand, I love almost everything about her. The pose, IMO, is killer and perfect for Mystique. This version of her costume is hot, and I love the black leather belt and gun holsters. The EX arm is so awesome, I'm very happy I went for the EX before it went to wait list. I cannot imagine not using the EX arm 100% of the time. And while the base is pretty simple, I absolutely love the bronze-gold Xavier Institute sign that she is walking over (and with Juggernaut's fist print to boot).

With that being said, I have two issues. I said it a long time ago, and I still believe that she would have really benefited from the silencer pieces being optional/removable. She looks best on the left facing right, and the extra length of the silencer makes her a little bit harder to display in a tighter place such as next to another statue in a Besta. That being said, I did manage to get her next to Capt. Marvel. The other thing is that the EX claws are not metal.

Congrats Northernlad. Great statue. Today is the last day for me to decide to take the EX waitlist conversion. I like how the waitlist is done now, straight to the order page and I can flex it and add reward points.

Mystique looks as close to proto level as I've seen a SS piece. Congrats to the owners, she's a gem.

Looks good, although at 600$+ after shipping its disappointing to see paint lines not as clean as they should be at these prices. Also not sure if you have this issue Northern or anyone for that matter, but MCE has the same hand paint issue as Gootch, which could possibly lead to cracking, something to look out for.
