She pairs perfectly with my xm colossus due to the rubble and debris base. A day 1 for me

I like this Storm a lot and will definitely be getting her.

Only thing I am worried about is the coloration of the fabric cape blending well with this paint job on production pieces. Hopefully they learned something since Emma Frost.

She turned out fantastic. I like the darker base to, makes her stand out even more.

I like the base, whatever it is?

By the looks of things, the body paint color is silvery white, without blue. Which is fine. I did like the blue in the original shot.



The pose sort of implies Storm is performing a small jump, the sort of jump Prince (musician) might perform on stage.

A sculpted cape complete with twist design to match the base twist would have taken this piece up a notch.

I have grown to really like the portrait. If the price is not insane, i might consider picking this up

White special effects on the hands would have helped this piece out.

Atleast the eye's cannot turn out googly.

I'm kind of surprised to see a few in here seeing the pose as stiff. I see a weather goddess pushing her entire body to command the weather elements and draw the atmosphere from miles around her. A more daunting task than say, simply opening one's eyes (cyclops).

I love mutants and characters that have powers that force them to dig deep to unleash their full force. Maybe a more active facial expression would've helped tell that story, but I see it nonetheless.

She will absolutely steal attention from the statues around her. A day one PO for me. Hard to believe there's no exclusive though.

That’s why I’d love to see something like this in 1/4. It’d certainly be different if SS or XM could pull this off on their next go round.

If worst comes to worst, you could always carefully split the cape with a good pair of scissors. That is an advantage of fabric VS sculpted. If your not confident about doing that, I sure it wouldn't be too expense to have a tailor modify the cape for you.
Well I’m keeping my XM though. So it’s fine, I’ll have 2 statues with the cape both ways it was represented. I like that one is sculpted (2 differently posed sets of capes!) and one is fabric.

I like it, too, whatever it is. Lol.

Lol, accuracy with the Prince comment.

More positives, can’t screw the eyes up!

Demona, great job girl! You carried the fight/vision long and hard, and you won,............................for everyone!

Enjoy, cause she's a beauty, and I'm hoping that this level of finer detailed sculpting finally becomes the norm. All we gotta do is support it.
