See this is what I don't understand with these companies....A most wanted/popular character never gets to see the light of day. Storm should have been on the radar from the beginning of the line and already shown.

I was all in on this line but the paint apps on Cyclops were nothing like the prototype so I'm out unfortunately.

Not necessarily. That fact has been proven false by many companies and lines. Producers dont benefit from secondary characters. When they feel they need to do another wolverine for more $$$, this line will end and a new one will form.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

They made about 50 DC animated busts with very few repeat characters. If they got to Mad Hatter and Ra’s al Ghul then I feel like they’ll get to Storm if they are doing well.

It should never have been the case that they would "get" to Storm eventually. She was the leader of the gold team. How is she not one of the first ones done? How are Sabretooth and Deadpool shown before her? I probably answered my own question a while back when I said they wanted to spread things out a little so that everyone didn't just buy the core team and then walk away when other B level characters were made. Rogue and Gambit should have been up for pre-order long before this. If we don't see them soon, forget about Storm and the line as a whole.

I don’t know, I have some faith. They put out Wonder Woman as one of the most recent busts, long after most of the other JLA members, and even after characters like Brainiac and Shazam (which if I remember right came out before he even had a movie). They don’t seem to be going full-hog on A-listers up front.

Storm's great. So are Jean and Rogue. There was no Gold Team in the cartoon, so saying she was the Gold Team leader has no bearing in an animated line. Female characters don't sell as well so it makes sense to spread them out.

Gambit was going to be offered in May, but there was ultimately no catalog that month. He or Rogue will be offered soon.

It doesn't matter that there weren't any teams in the cartoon, the point is that she is a MAJOR character. Maybe SOME female characters don't sell well, but the last few Marvel Legends Storm figures were extremely popular. The XM Storm statue is going for huge money right now. People have been clamoring for a Sideshow version for years. In the custom market, she sells out instantly.
