Makes sense but if you look at Sideshow’s previous leaning statues you can’t be blamed for having doubts.

1. She-Hulk who had both feet planted leaned
2. Dark Rider of Mordor. Horse with both hind limbs planted cracked
3. Mortinghull Lsf both feet planted leaned

This Rogue is way more complicated than all those above so we shall see how it goes.

I will try to be the devil's advocate in here, but all the statues you are mentioning here were "simple" from a visiual aspect, you told it yourself, all had both legs planted so no apparent complexities here, no one even expected leaning issues.

The case of Rogue is the exact opposite, it is more like the recent Magneto maquette and we see that Sideshow puts extra care with it (giant peg, solid magnets...) to make it solid and having no leaning issues in the future anyway it looks like it, so let's hope for it !

Now i'm far from knowing every piece Sideshow has ever released so my theory may be proven wrong. Please feel free to enlighten me if that's the case.

Colossus would be on my radar. Not a big Gambit fan. Personally, I'm hoping they get around to the German guy. He's long overdue.

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

100% Gambit for me.

I've been on the fence about this Rogue due to the portrait (Love everything else about the statue), but if a good Gambit came out with a matching danger room base then that would be enough for me to pull trigger on her. Can't have Gambit without Rogue.

LOL watch them give Gambit a pink energy base like Psylocke.

It occurred to me, maybe Rogue failing to appear due to breakage, presumed by failure of the hand to base connection might have been caused my something else. (see pic) Sideshow appear to use pieces of polystyrene to raise statues to achieve various heights. This is normally covered up by fabric.

That's right I forgot about that.

Also during 12 days RT said they thought Gambit was going to be shown/teased. I know SS lets them announce new things sometimes so maybe that was a sign as well (or not).
