I love everything about this piece including the changes to the cape. The one thing I'm not too happy with is how much darker her skin color is compared to the prototype. I thought the lighter shade of brown looked so much better which complimented her face and showed more detail.

For me it’s just the eyes that I liked more on the Prototype but it could just be the lighting in the new pics.

I give up with XM. The STGCC skin tone was perfect. Why do they insist on terrible last minute changes. ARRGHHHH!!!!

XM Studios News





"The Goddess of weather, Ororo aka Storm from the X-Men will be up for PO tonight on our website!”

"Retailing at SGD990, the XM Storm statue features 2 display options; 1 attacking with her powers and 1 completely different mood
where Storm is relishing and enjoying her powers. This project was delayed as we wanted to find a way to create the cape to link to
the hands for closer accuracy to the comics and we are happy to say, mission accomplished! We've also taken many feedback on paint
scheme (Thank you to all who provided valuable feedback) and ultimately decided on this striking combination of white and light accents
of silver/grey.

As with our new PO system, Storm will be open for 2 weeks for online orders and final ES determined after we consolidate orders from
distributors, keeping this piece made-to-order, based on demand so don't miss out on this beautiful piece! Enjoy the photos and stand
a chance to win a special Art Print signed by the XM core art team simply by making 1 comment, tagging a friend and sharing this post!
1 lucky winner will be chosen from the comments list!"

The skin tone needs to be a little lighter. It’s too dark at its current state. I thought they nailed the prototype. She was never that dark when she was in the white/silver costume. Some comics do have her with a darker skin tone but that’s more when she’s rocking the black costume or the Mohawk.

Really hope this is another case of bad lighting.

Took the words out of my mouth, was thinking the exact same.

I was seriously considering purchasing this but unfortunately the darker skin color has changed my mind, too bad as the prototype skin color was perfect!

I think i'll get it regardless, but not to happy if that is in fact the case.

It really does suck because the sculpt is outstanding. Hopefully it's the lighting but I fear not. If I'm going to be spending that kind of money I want to be a 100% percent happy with it and looking at it now I'm not.
