Will have to wait and see. I would imagine Sideshow have made the flame solid, possibly with a metal rod inside.

I asked Sideshow and they said this:

"I am seeing that the entire model is made from polystone, so I do not believe she has any internal structural elements holding that in place."

I asked the same question about Flash awhile back and they told me a metal rod went through most of his body.

They're using the same technique they proved with Rogue using rods...

No need to worry... order it and enjoy

I wouldn't worry about it, only the main fire base is somewhat heavy.

Yep...probably why paint is opaque and not transparent

If it were a solid rod, why are there seams?

Someone should buy 2 and break open the other one open just to put all of these concerns to rest

Or maybe we can wait until someone breaks their statue for a return

Are the whites of Starfire's eyes tinted slightly green? I didn't catch this till recently, seeing some closeups in the videos, but it also seems like I can spot it in various photos posted. It's much less noticeable in full-figure images, to me.

Can anyone confirm if there's a tint to the "whites" of the eyes? Thanks!
