Hmm..
Need more time to think this one over.
Expected to be blown away more.
The fabric cape brings it down a notch.
Portrait looks nice enough. Their previous Storm portrait possibly had more character.
Will be interesting to see the base.

Congrats to all the 90s collectors. The piece looks nice with a great portrait.

It may be a metallic white, but it has so much silver in it to be metallic that to me it's silver. Which is a totally WIN!!

So far what catches my eye the most is that the cape isn't black underneath which was a pretty common color scheme. I also wish her hair was a little brighter white to contrast with the suit more, but that could all change with lighting.

I LOVE how she looks totally different in body style than Newman's first statue. Just what i was hoping for. He did another amazing job. She looks lovely and still has pretty features, she just isn't as thicc. More lean. I am here for it - thank you Mr. Newman I really just keep looking at her face thinking how pretty this looks. She doesn't fall into the trope of being sculpted like a white woman painted with a dark skin tone. Mark Newman is a master of his craft - just put Jean and Ororo next to each other and see how he gave each of them character. Oh I love this so much!!

I am very curious about the base because we still couldn't figure out what was going on down there.

And no shock - this is a Day 1 PO for me. I will probably get two because this will be a perfect piece to convert to the black lightning bolt. Or hey, Sideshow, want a quick cash grab variant? Just sayin.

So I now know why I love the face even more - I doubt it was intentional - but it looks like her face here.

It looks good, but doesn't have any wow factor. Pretty standard Sideshow fare.

I like that they went mixed media for the cape. Paint apps for the suit looks REALLY good. Curious to see the base.

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

I agree demona, I think it’s a metallic white/pearl. But it reflects amazingly and definitely looks silver in the lighting

Sooner than I expected. Thought she'd be revealed after the event next week.

She looks good! Only complaint right now is that I wish the hair looked more natural. Kind of has that Black Widow PF hair line.

That Black Widow hairline was awful, this isn't near that. The issue is that we commonly see Storm with something around her hair line, in this suit she doesn't have that, which may be jarring for some. At least her hair doesn't look like a mullet like it did in the cartoon! It has lovely fullness and volume

I need to see this bad girl is real lighting. Let's see how that suit looks. My geek room is pretty dark so it will for sure look more silver in my display.

God damn I am so happy this isn't white. Sooooo happy!!

One area that stands out, is the upper arm sculpt. Looks like silver fabric.
The silver, blue shade of paint they have gone with looks rather good.
Will there be an EX? ..a portrait switch out?
How will the piece look without the fancy backdrop?

Well... darn. I was ardently hoping for the original (and only worthwhile) costume. But I suppose I can live with this. Sigh.

I like the pose, and the portrait looks terrific. So still, as planned from the start, a first-day PO. I'll look forward to adding her to the collection. (That costume, though... meh.)
