I gotta say I'm so disappointed the reg sculpt doesn't have pupils. I'm ordering but they really messed up on that one
 
Re: Jean Grey - Jim Lee Era

Sadly I'm passing. I so wanted to love this. Colossus knows man. He knows how much I waited for this. Congrats to those who get her. Maybe if SS alters it I'll get on later but for now I'm out. I can order something else now too. I'll wait for Phoenix

Yea, after a couple more days to contemplate, I think I'm passing on this. I think I'm saving my money for grey hulk.

I might consider getting the Green Hulk now. I have about 360 I saved that can go towards that as well as a $45 credit I can put towards him that'll make his price come down ( in my mind)

Really do not like this statue at all, it looks simple, cheap and like a bowen piece... lacking detail.

Also the face sculpt makes her look like a transexual.

In my opinion, they did not capture their own artwork(below) at all in the statue.

Very easy pass.

Pupils would change the whole portrait. I'm invested in the xmen so I need her more then want. But damn they f'd her up. Hopefully someone on here can petition a page to change her face. They did it with psylocke
 
It does look like a Bowen statue to me also. I'm not feeling the EX portrait at all. Congrats to those that like it.
The only X-Man I want is Brown Wolverine!

defiantly pupils, darker red hair would help too, the statues hair looks a bit orange.

Agree 100%. passing on this too.
 


Played around with paint shop.

The PF is not bad just needs adjustments. The ones I'd make are as follows, the pose should've been inversed and flipped.

The EX head should've had green eyes and a phoenix reflection or effect in the eyes.. even a subtle bit of pink or red within the iris.

Maybe longer profile, narrower nose.

I thought a psionic butterfly effect similar to that of a halo would've made for an interesting effect with Jean.. although I don't remember Jean creating psionic butterflies, that was Psylocke but both rely on psionic attacks.

Phoenix eye reflection, elongated portrait. Maybe nose could've been more refined and narrower like concept art.

Inversed pose with eyes.

I think this could've easily been salvaged.. it seems rushed. or almost likely exhausted and forgotten.

Looks like a plastic mcdonalds toy.
The flowing hair is the only thing this statue got going for it and barely at that.

-The pose is weird.
-the suit looks cheap
-the body's curves looks bad

One of many statues sideshow would have to PAY ME to own it. The lower price tag than other 1/4 statues should be viewed as a warning. It's sideshows way of saying:
- We'll, let's just get this x-man business over with so we gonna rush this statue and but a lower price tag of let's say 40 bucks from the currently normal 400 for a below average 1/4 statue that should cost 199,99

Everyone other than fanboys should beware. Personally, I would feel like **** if I tried to collect all the x-men line. Considering how problematic they have been.
