Edited my message. Sorry, meant generally how long after.

I love this statue and I cannot lie.

Since the link says that Uncanny 449, you'd be correct. It's boosted straight from that cover

Problem is, it's not translating well to a statue. I REALLY hope they change her expression to a smile. Or a soft open mouth with a hint of smile. Just something more relaxed because she looks painfully maniacal as it stands now.

I'm all about the portrait of her enjoying her ability to commune with the goddess. It's one of my favorite aspects of Ororo

Below are some examples of covers that I think could help give an idea. FTR, I know she is crying on the cover of 290 (spoiler alert, Forge left), but it's the type of soft, look that could really work for this portrait.

Oh and look -- the costume is not white. Got that XM? Not white.

after jean grey or rogue ?

I'd say she's second after Rogue. Jean has a loyal fanbase, but so many people only think of her as Phoenix. Not all the greatness that Jean was by herself before and after.

No clue. She-Thor has been printed for months (if not almost a year) and we have not seen anything about the paint up.

And this isn't even printed yet. If we are lucky....or rather my wallet is....this won't be printed and painted until late spring/early summer.

Cannot say this enough! XM, if you are reading this . . .

Ok, good to know. I'm sure I will get Storm. This is only the second 1/4 scale statue of her. How could I pass?

[Demona]

I'm getting all nervous that so many people like statue because that only means more of a pain in the a$$ to get.

I may just resort to violence if I can't lock her in. Seriously. I have only been begging since Jean was previewed

[NorthernLadMSP]

I'm curious to how they will do the tornado. Will the material be similar to whatever they used on Mysterio? Or will it just be painted cold-cast porcelain.

Is XM doing a Jean?!!!!

Sorry, I think you meant Phoenix right?

Demona, you better get on the phone right now

I'm not to crazy about the open mouth portrait and pose but I like the other one so much it hardly matters. And I agree silver not white.

Who said she's first?
