Completely agree with this!

Amazing job XM!

Looks good but I can't tell if the heal of her shoe is on the X-Men logo or if it's just floating in the air.

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

I agree. This statue will look so much better with her left leg on the ground. Her current pose makes her look like a harmless model and not as deadly as she should look.

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

I like the base. Not over the top (large) like some XM pieces.

You are such a "Yes man". I enjoy the updates and pictures you bring to us, but stop trying to make us believe everything XM does is perfect. Clearly many people, myself included, think the leg up looks awkward. Both legs down, standing defiantly in front of the X would look way better.

I try nothing.

There are many people outside this forum which like the pose. I´m not alone.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I admit I wasnt a fan of this statue from the 3D render/print they showed, but man with it painted fully now I think it looks amazing! I dont know what it is about the paint but it made me to a 180 on this piece and I dont even mind the leg up anymore, actually starting to like it a little. All that said though, unfortunately this isn't in the budget, but it would look badass next to either throne or the new white magneto!

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.

This blows Sideshow's out of the park. Too bad it is probably $500 more in the states.
