[XM Studios] Phoenix

[CallMeTheDoctor]

Without question, I would rather take the face the way it is. I have been highly outspoken towards one or two people on the XM facebook page about keeping the face the way it is. I think most people are thinking this is supposed to be the Dark Phoenix, and that is far from this sculpt. I was trying to say that Green Phoenix is under control, and not in a fierce primal mode so to speak. The Green version always strikes me as reserved, non-cocky. I don't think this Phoenix needs an angry face at all. That persona doesn't behoove me as Jean Gray.

Save the angry face for the Dark Phoenix I say.

However, with that being said, I can understand a slight expression of her face (raised eyebrown, something very slight like that). I am quite the opposite of you in regards to the SS Jean face. That is not the problem at all. I actually envision Jean as more tall and elongated face like Uma Thurman, Famke like. The XM Phoenix comes across as a more beautiful sex model type lady (which is fine by me...she looks gorgeous). The problem with SS is that GOD AWFUL choice of costume and even worse....the POSE!!!! I mean really? That's what SS came up with after 10 years of collectibles?

Couldn't agree more, but I would like even some blatant emotion as it resonates in the character. Like this:


As for the Jean, I rather enjoyed it, honestly. She has a wonderful face in the regular IMO, and I don't mind the costume so much, yet all of it seems so simple I cancelled because of the lack of a base, and because she isn't worth 360. I'm sure if QC is a hit, I won't mind trying to get one down the road, as for now I'll pass and just grab this.

As mentioned in SF, LET'S GET A SAVAGE LAND ROGUE!

She continues to look so incredible.

Yeah. I just personally feel the no emotion face takes a little away from the statue... Even if it is comic accurate. Mould you imagine if they did a SSC Wonder woman like smirk on this? A little less cocky, and a little more nervous.

Like this detailed face.

This is an AMAZING design, but it isn't a production piece. Also, this doesnt necessarily have to be a competition persay. Just more options for us to choose from

Of course it is competition. Some will buy this, it will mist likely sell out very fast. Ss will have considered all those xm purchases to be their loss of.

Yes love the competition! I really hate the current statue monopoly because it's one company's rules or get out. I prefer choices and better prices etc. no difference from basic economics playing here.

Yep that is what I was afraid of. All the extra lines on her face have A)aged her B) brought some ugly into the portrait. Kayorzz is this am additional portrait??? Of it isn't I would suggest to the XM guys to ton down the furrowed brow or better yet eliminate the angry look completely. I am not trying to sound like an ******* but there are few things less sexy then an angry persons face.

I can see where you're coming from, but I love it personally. Everyone likes different things though. I do love the other face too, so two heads would be the absolute ideal situation.

LOL wut? Jumping the shark way too early.

yes there'll be 2 portraits, one by sosa and another designed by artgerm
the 2 portraits shown here are the sosa portraits, only one will be used. so choose wisely

 

[daryldixn]

Love the non angry face

kayorzz is there a way to ask Sosa to do one with less lines on the forehead??? Kind of a happy medium of the two. As of now the calm me would be my choice, but I doubt I will be in a places to order it so...lol

 

[ambasah]

difficult to pick between the two until I know what the artgerm looks like.

but I think it would be even better if they just included all 3. BW will come with 3 portraits, so no reason they could not do the same here.

Calm look so pretty. Nice foto update buddy
