Yeah I took a semi break at different times. AvX pissed me off and the Schism was getting played out for me anyway so I stopped buying X-Men for a while. Spider-Man is my favorite character but One More Day pissed me off so I didn’t buy those comics for a while either. Thankfully by coincidence and natural interest in a few single issues, most of the issues I did buy over the next few years are the issues that are more expensive to get now, like the popular JSC covers and a few 1st appearances from that era. I know some comic nerds are beyond faithful to their runs but if I don’t enjoy the story I won’t buy, even if it’s my favorite character.

Same. If I don’t recognize my character I won’t read any further. One More Day was definitely one of those annoyances. I was collecting Spider-Man at the time as well. I remember I also didn’t like the addition of Storm to the Astonishing team and I didn’t like her characterization. The X-treme X-Men already had a good Schism storyline prior to the last one. In it, Storm had a good fight with Emma and then they made up. They weren’t best friends but there was an understanding and there was respect. I may have some JSC covers. You’re inspiring me to check my collection. I’ve moved 3 times since then.

And up, because she was INSANE in the live !
Really a fantastic statue, beautiful face and hair, the painting on the costume is very well done with the shades and glossy touch.
I love it, Wanda will pair well with her father, the two levitating next to each other. It will make a wonderful display.

Have to agree. Beautiful as hell during the Booth Tour. Another must for me.

This does look good. But it’s kinda confused.

She has an Ultron themed base that matches perfectly displayed between the previous Cap and Black Widow PFs.

But her classic costume matches perfectly with the new Cap and Black Widow PFs.

I think the Ultrons were unnecessary here. She looks good on her own.

Yeah - it's killing me as I think the sculpt on Wanda is amazing, but that nonsense above her head in particular just ruins the whole thing for me.

Imho, you are overthinking, the answer to all the questions you are asking to yourself about all of the nonsense is : Sideshow

Otherwise seriously, SS is doing that all the time, literally.
The bases and the costumes are more than often not in adequation with the other characters in the line.
Best example is the X-men one with some of them in the snow, others in the danger room, or outside the manor, when it's not a simple random base (Psylocke). And I don't mention Emma who is in her actual X-men look in a Jim Lee era line... Just pure non sense.

So if you can, just do like me, don't care about it and enjoy your collection

I thought she looked really great on the Con floor. I just wish I liked the full pink bodysuit more.... The Ultron parts don't really bother me.

Thank you for this. This is the only lineage I will acknowledge. Magneto IS the FATHER!
