Guys, just open a comic book, for the love of God. I legit don't think I'd have bought it, it wouldn't even match the rest of their X-Men line, which is what I've primarily been collecting. Wasn't even intentional really, just the way it worked out. Plus a blue Beast and a blue base, good thinking lol.

I didn't realize magik was over scaled? Not to get too far off topic but I'm so on the fence with that Mystique. I love it but I'm a bit concerned on the scaling. Not sure if it'll bother me but I think the sculpt is gorgeous.
Yep, they even had a poll on Facebook because they were really set on blue, but people were against it because of too much blue. Luckily purple won.

I don't own Magik, but from pics she looks larger than she should be.

Mystique is great, but she's literally larger than most of the male X-Men they've done. If that doesn't bother you, then go for it. I'm sure you could find a reasonably priced one.

I think thats the best natural pictures i saw until now, shared by Benjamin LR.

Nice man, I think you have the best X-Men statues here. I much prefer the XM Gambit to SS and I think the SS Wolverine is the best one.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

I'd pair her with either 1/3 Magneto or Jean/Colossus, so she'd probably fit pretty well but it's still frustrating that XM keeps getting these scales wrong. Hopefully a thing of the past /knock on wood.

i have to admit i had some reservations about the blue paint and teeth before getting mine. i thought the blue paint (especially on the face) looked like really heavy handed dry brushing but the paint looks really good in person, the teeth are fantastic as well

scale seems good to me, hes not larger than anyone (less hands, feet and overall stockiness) but fits well with other 1/4 scale pieces. in person i would give this a 9/10 docking a point for a useless coh and painted red lines around the eyes but everything else im really happy with

order what you like and dont make compromises, just putting this out there because i took a chance with beast and am really happy with how he turned out

Thank you Sir. I like the portrait of SS Gambit better. He does look a little aged on my XM. But to be honest, my reward points from Specfic pushed me to buy XM
gambit at the time. No regrets though.

Yeah, I do like the toothpick SS portrait best but I hate that he's like pointing down in the pose.
