It's not a Flat Ass.

That's a well toned ass, and I find it beautiful.

Yeah, something about the short haired portrait looks... off.

Yeah its interesting to see.. I think Koto has made some very strange choices in their Rogue and the recent Juggernaut. A short haired portrait who I'm almost sure 99% of the buyers won't use and the removable Juggernaut helmet which is again pointless.
I think maybe they could keep the retail on her a little lower too not including the extra head. So you don't pay for something you're not really gonna use.
Would've been worth considering.

My thoughts exactly brutha!

Maybe Koto should replace the alternate head with an alternate Minaj butt option instead?

The removable juggernaut helmet was probably done to add depth from his face to the helmet. It probably didn't HAVE to be done but it's understandable what they might have tried to go for. It doesn't bother me that much though, but I can also understand why people would question it. My only gripe about the juggernaut is that it has to be displayed on a top shelf to fully appreciate the piece. The top down view when its on a lower shelf doesn't do it justice.

As for this Rogue, looks awesome to me. Glad to finally be getting the last piece to the blue strike force (if you count Sosa's Beast from Bowen). I didn't LOVE the piece at first, but seeing it this time around has gotten me amped up for the release!

Things have kind of been quiet on the statue front for me since I really only focus on the 1/6th scale, but the new pictures got me excited again. It's going to be an awesome year between Wolverine, Carnage, and Rogue.

Maybe it's wishful thinking, but the X-Force Archangel sculpt is there. Why not just rehash it with a new base and paint? Definitely would save some time from a new project standpoint, and I think that sculpt was phenomenal. I just don't have the level of comfort in having these works of art repainted and changed from the original design intent.

I had a hard time with that as well, but there are ways to rationalize it. A large edition size helps. You're modifying one statue out of 3000+. Even easier if it's a high edition number. The best justification is when you happen on a damaged statue. Then why not give it a brand new facelift? That was the case with my Archangel.

Pics of her are looking good so far! I hope the production version matches these prototypes as well.
