Still time for a white eyed wind blown portrait.

I've never used the alt Rogue head. I kinda like the Mohawk portrait. I see myself switching to it once in a while.

Still not feeling the karate kid pose. Base is kinda simple so I hope not pricey. Not the Storm we deserve but the one we need right now.

I've been waiting forever for this.
Now that I seen it I can say I like it a lot, but I don't love it.

I don't like the flat surface on the floor of the base, some pattern in there can break it up and make it look better.

Also her biceps look strange without the upper sleeves

I do like the portrait of the Mohawk face but I wouldn't display it this way.

I think her hair looks good but too static for the action, her hair should be blowing like crazy.
I wouldn't know how to implement that in sculpt.

Do you know if Fine Art has updates or this will be the final result?

Most likely this will be the final release. I don't see Erick or Koto taking this one back to the drawing board to re sculpt the arms or re do the base moreover it may just not be feasible for them to do so. Paints can be looked into during production, at the most I see the X symbols being reduced in size that are on her costume but not the other issues highlighted in here.

The cape also looks stiff as a board. I'm simply going to be sticking to the EX PF and ordering the XM when it's up for PO. The rest of these pieces, customs included, look awful.

I like it. I'm excited about it and I'll probably pre-order it. Looks great to me. I like the comics like the next guy but Storm in white is probably going to be the iconic Storm that most people, especially in this price range, will relate to and frankly want.

Face needs some sort of expression, shoulder pads/badges might need some addressing. Cape probably shouldn't be jutting out of her wrists. I like the sculpt, though...detail looks great. The base definitely needs some reworking.

I have been looking at this image over and over before commenting. I really want to love this. I mean, Storm is my all-time fave. And this is just...there....

Positives: Love the face, it's pretty. Her hair has some nice volume. The paint apps look good, not highly detailed, but good.

Negatives: Well, it's the cliché cop-out animated series white. Her pose is weak. Her face, while pretty, is expressionless. Her hair, while has volume, has no movement. The cape has no movement. It doesn't link up with the story the base is telling - at all.

And for the love of God -- STOP DOING MOHAWKS WHEN IT'S NOT SUIT ACCURATE. It's dumb. Just dumb. How about an Ex portrait with her pretty blue eyes on this expressionless face?! Then another portrait that had white eyes and wilder hair?!

Also, are her hand huge or is it just me? Also, they could have just switched the color of her hair and suit and this piece would have jumped up to the "must buy" for me. Her hair looks grayish compared to the white on the suit.

Completely 100% agree. This has gone from a must have purchase, to a 'might sell my DRS statues' response.
