Zimm's Two Cents
I've been waiting for this piece. I saw it as a sneak peak at Statue Marvels. Very exciting piece.

Points in Favor
  • Great paint on this one. No smudging.
  • Includes Lockheed!
  • I like the phasing through the base.
Points Against
  • I don't like the way that they painted her hair.
  • Not an overall exciting base - but an integral part of the statue.
Recommendation: Buy. I want to see the alternative version, but if you like this one, then you should grab it.

Robert's Two Cents
I want one. Well, I think I'll actually like the variant one better, but still.

Points in Favor
  • I love Lockheed and they did a great job with Lockheed.
  • Great pose and using the base as part of the design showing her powers was a terrific idea.
Points Against
  • As Zimm said, the base is bland. But it coordinates with the X-Men Beast statue.
  • Shouldn't this one really be called Sprite?
  • On Zimm's comment about the hair, he's right, I don't think I like it either. The paint job is great, but the way the hair is coming out of the back of her mask is weird. Unfortunately that's the way her hair worked when she wore that costume. That's the beauty of some of the later costumes she wore; the masks didn't cover her hair.
Recommendation: Buy. I think I'm probably going to like the variant better, but this one rocks.
