heres a image from a disappointed customer on facebook;

the foot shouldnt be this way? seems unnatural. someone mentioned try leaning against a wall in real life with your foot like in the photo.

i saw prototypes and youtube reviews were most seem to have the foot sit flush on the X logo? did some just get a bad batch?

I dont think it was planed to be that way. And if so the conecpt designer and crew has to rethink their way. This whole XM Mystique project is a desaster IMO

i honestly don't know where people are getting that this is 1:3 scale? it may be a tiny bit larger than average... but no way is this anywhere close to that size. i always envision mystique as a super tall, long legged woman... to me this thing is perfectly scaled. plus to me it's miles better than SS version. the leg in the back lifted up isn't that far away from the xmen logo on mine so not sure about that either. it's not touching but it would scratch it up if it did so i assume they made it that way to avoid damage.

to me it scales perfectly fine w/ other xm pieces i have...

Raised foot looks fine. I don't see what the issue is?
Epic looking piece. I don't own it, but i would if i could.

As for scale, i have to agree, the piece is on the large size for 1/4
In some way's this is good, as bigger is better (that's what she said).
At the same time i totally get why this can put some collectors off, as they might want to display the piece next to other characters that are Sideshow's 1/4 standard.

Cant check myself becouse don’t have the statue, mystique should be 46/47cm if the scale is correct becouse she is 178cm plus, in this case, heels

comparing her to tall characters like Venom and Cable and saying she got right scale

Try rereading what I wrote... said it looked good to me but was a bit large.

We all get it... it’s not your thing and you are not a fan. You’ve made it clear multiple times. Not sure why you continue to post in a thread of something you don’t like and don’t have and aren’t picking up? Honestly what are you looking for?

I measured her awhile back and she came out to be 6'6 or something close to that... I would have to look for my old posts... She does look good next to Cable and Venom but both those statues are huge... When I placed her next to other female X-Men she dwarfed them.

C'mon ...even XM admitted she was bigger than 1/4 scale. It was an oversight ...an error that wasn't caught before production. It is what it is.

And I've never liked her pose ...especially how her legs are. They should've just given her a wide legged stance in front of the X-Men symbol ...IMO.
