Darkness has all of his Darklings to fill up a big base though. There's only so much Witchblade stuff you can have flowing around her without it getting ridiculous. My main concerns for the statue were the paint and the head sculpt. I think they've fixed both to my satisfaction. I don't know what else anyone who thinks XM should start over from scratch would want. I'd prefer to get her as-is instead of risking changes that aren't for the better. Also, it'd be nice to get a statue from XM again that isn't going to cost $400 to ship.

I'm fine with how she is now. Just put her up for preorder already.
I agree. She's ready. Plenty impressed by what I'm seeing. Witchblade is already the best female statue XM has made IMO.

MS Marvel rates as the best female statue XM has made.

Ms Marvel has a nice pose and sculpt but her short hair portrait falls flat to me. And she already lacks the display options of most XM pieces. Did they even make those energy blasts? They looked more like hand drills in development.

Ms. Marvel does have a pleasing long hair portrait that salvages the whole piece but I'd still take Witchblade over her 10 times out of 10.

Ms. Marvel (with the exception of the short hair sculpt) is a fantastic statue. My real problem with it is that every time I look at it, I wish it were Supergirl instead of Ms. Marvel. If it wouldn't cost an arm and a leg, I'd have someone convert it for me.

Phoenix's portraits are the only weakness, but they're quite the weakness with their three heads, er, I mean threeheads. If they matched the proto then she'd be the unquestioned beauty of the land.
