Lightning Strikes with Sideshow's New X-Men Storm Premium Statue 

Sideshow Collectibles brings the Goddess of Lightning to life with a brand new comic book inspired Storm Premium Format Statue 

Uncanny X-Men #173 continues the fallout from Professor X's near-fatal injuries as the team struggles to regroup. However, tensions continue to rise between Cyclops and Wolverine, while Storm finally begins to take up the mantle of leader. To make things worse, the X-Men uncover a terrifying truth that they've been implanted with embryos by the Brood! This Marvel Comics X-Men arc is important in a variety of ways, with the main focus being Storm, who undergoes one of her most iconic transformations. While it doesn't fully happen in Uncanny X-Men #173, it's right on the doorstep. 

Just a few issues later, in Uncanny X-Men #175, Storm debuts her famous punk look, and now Sideshow Collectibles faithfully captures it with a new statue. This new Storm Premium Format Statue captures her signature punk look, featuring a mohawk and a black leather outfit. Standing at 25" tall, the Goddess of Lightning brings the storm with an impressive statue that is packed with detail, with flickering LED lightning. Sideshow was sure to include an X-Men-themed button on her jacket that Marvel fans will surely recognize. Pre-orders for this new statue are already live on Sideshow Collectibles for $815, with payment plans being offered and a Q1 2027 release 

X-Men Storm Premium Format Figure – Sideshow Collectibles

"The Storm Premium Format™ Figure measures 25.07 inches (63.6 cm) tall, 12.09 inches (30.7 cm) wide, and 10.09 inches (25.6 cm) deep as Ororo Munroe summons a maelstrom with her weather manipulation abilities. Ground cracks and lightning flickers while she levitates above, eyes turning white in her connection to the sky. Dauntless and uninhibited, the mutant leader goes full throttle in a vortex of earth, electricity, and elements. By the Goddess — you better be ready to rock and roll with the punches!"

"Inspired by the character's appearance in Uncanny X-Men #173, this fully sculpted X-Men collectible showcases Storm in her iconic all-black, all-leather punk costume. Influenced by early '80s anarchy aesthetics, her ensemble includes skin-tight pants, knee-high boots, a crop top, and a short, spiky vest with buttons and safety pins on the lapels as well as a studded lightning bolt on the back."
