I said the same thing from day one -- fix that leg. Put it on the ground. Have her with both feet down, leaning back onto the X....or standing cocky in front of it...just NOT this pose.
This statue conveys a school girl pretending to be an assassin. Doesn't portray Mystique. It's not sexy and all I see is that what should have been a flawless PF statue is a larger scale, more expensive Koto statue.
And the left foot is not even touching the "X". It is just kicked out, floating there.
I really wanted to add a Mystique to my collection, but both the XM and SS pieces miss the mark for me.

Phoenix, gambit and now mystique are all positioned in this stance. Does xm really not have any other poses to convey leg motion ?

It looks like she's just lifting her leg up.

I do think it would look better if her left leg was straight out on the ground instead of bending like that..

I really do love the shade of blue of her skin and her portrait though.
