Pre-Orders Open for Sideshow Collectibles' Storm Statue from "Uncanny X-Men" Comic
Sideshow Collectibles has unveiled a new 63.6 cm LED-illuminated Storm statue, designed to captivate collectors who appreciate punk culture, the Marvel universe, and the iconic "Uncanny X-Men" comic series.
Pre-orders are now officially open for this polystone Storm statue, inspired by her appearance in Uncanny X-Men #173. The highly anticipated collectible is priced at €732.03 (approximately 68,812 Russian Rubles).
The impressive piece stands 63.6 cm tall, 30.7 cm wide, and 25.6 cm deep. Sculptors have meticulously captured the heroine in her distinctive black leather punk ensemble, a nod to the anarchist aesthetic of the early 1980s.
Storm's outfit features form-fitting pants, knee-high boots, a stylish crop top, and a short vest adorned with buttons, safety pins on the lapels, and striking lightning-bolt studs on the back. Her bold look is further enhanced by a towering white mohawk with a long ponytail, black gloves, a studded choker, and an array of massive belts and bracelets.
Completing the heroine's rebellious style are grunge-inspired makeup and an assortment of silver and gold jewelry. This Marvel statuette also incorporates an LED light-up function, illuminating the lightning bolts on its base with a dynamic strobe effect.
Enthusiasts can expect the release of this new collectible between October 2026 and January 2027.
