And speaking about statues, here is still my favorite Scarlet Witch



There is nothing I dislike: the portrait, the suit, the mineral base, the pose - ok, not very demonstrative, but at least she doesn’t look like a tango dancer juggling with huge whipped cream castanets.
If she was at 1/4 scale, I would have been in trouble.
I actually wish that statue was 1/6 scale

I think this PF looks fantastic. I can't think of a better looking Scarlet Witch statue. I absolutely LOVE that Sideshow is going back to classic/traditional comic costumes of late. The best part is that even though the costumes are classic/traditional, they still look incredible. They don't look dated or too cartoonish. The stitching, folds, and texturing being used really makes the costumes so incredibly realistic. For me personally, it's the best of both worlds.

Now we just need a revisit on popular characters in classic costumes. Deathstroke, Batman, and Cap can all use a revisit in classic costumes. I'd also be down for a Cyclops, Storm, and Nightcrawler in their classic threads. I'm really loving what I'm seeing from sideshow's current direction. Now I'm just hoping to see some characters I need to add to my collection get released in classic costumes.

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

Exactly and we went with multiple floors full of COVID patients and we don't have any right now or for the past month. That is progress.

This just missed the mark for me, would've preferred sculpted cape, but overlooking that I hate that she has to have the energy hands.... I'd prefer her without. XM did this to me too, although she looks great, I wish I had an option without all the 'magic' ..... and Sideshow at $600 with No EX..... oofff

When people complain about no EX, are they just complaining about no switch outs?

Unless someone's interested in a resale premium.

If the switchouts were all included like Cyclops I'd be happy. Or XM pieces.

OK that's what I figured.

What you want is the previous PF they did then. Personally I never cared for that PF, in my head she was saying Ooooga Boooga or some such thing.

No, they're complaining because they won't get to nerd-flex by having an exclusive. 'EX of fail', bro.

My complaint is that this is $600.

I'm there too. $600 is too much and I'd have preferred the modern costume for a change.
