Negatives: Well, it's the cliché cop-out animated series white. Her pose is weak. Her face, while pretty, is expressionless. Her hair, while has volume, has no movement. The cape has no movement. It doesn't link up with the story the base is telling - at all.

And for the love of God -- STOP DOING MOHAWKS WHEN IT'S NOT SUIT ACCURATE. It's dumb. Just dumb. How about an Ex portrait with her pretty blue eyes on this expressionless face?! Then another portrait that had white eyes and wilder hair?!

Also, are her hand huge or is it just me? Also, they could have just switched the color of her hair and suit and this piece would have jumped up to the "must buy" for me. Her hair looks grayish compared to the white on the suit.

Correct. No Mohawk during the Jim Lee era.
Otherwise, I love the piece.

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

Agree with the hair issue.. while it looks beautiful it is sooo stiff.. wish there is some movement since she is using whirlwind on her base. but like what I said in before, this won't stop me from buying her. She is a must have in my KOTO DRS Collection. Colossus is all alone in the Gold team. I actually grew up with her white costume so its okay for me that it is not silver.

I do believe that Sosa posted up more, a full 360 of this piece on his Facebook page.

The back shot really shows how grey her hair is against the white suit. Not a good look IMO. Decent pose made mediocre by the paint color selections. Congrats to those who like this, just another Storm piece to pass on *sigh*

What confuses me is why is Sosa's custom more detailed and more accurate to the source material than the official Koto release? You'd think it would be the other way around *shrugs*

I dont understand it either. I would like a more dynamic coat and visible ass.
And he isnt guilty of painting, but the people of Kotobukiya can do much better.
