Does anyone here own the Fantastic Four mini statues? I'm wondering how they compare to the full size ones detail wise.

I love Super-Adaptoid, that's some bust.

The female Joker looks like it belongs in Moulin Rouge, with "Rouge" being the emphasis!

It's a nice enough Poison Ivy bust, but I'm already getting the Cover Girls of the DCU Statue of her this year, and I'm not a rabid enough fan of Pam Isely to shell out for both.

I think Smith turning Kitty into Brooke Shields is an exaggeration (change "Brooke Shields" to "Labyrinth era Jennifer Connelly" and I might agree). He did make her look a bit older (15-16 instead of 14, but that was how Chris wrote her, anyway), he drew her hair less curly (I always took it as a stylistic approach more than change of look), but, in my eyes, she was still recognizable as Kitty. I consider his Kitty as the second best version of the character.
As for Lockhead, I love him. I don't care how he came to be, he is adorable. And since the X-Men had been established at least 6 years prior to Lockhead's appearence as traveling, visiting, staying and fighting in space, having friends, allies and enemies there, why is it so far off the hook to have an extra-terrestrial pet?

Phoenix-saga aside, I prefer the X-Men to stay on Earth.  Lockheed is just a reminder to me why I stopped my subscription to Uncanny X-Men when I was younger.

When you put it like this, there can be little to argue
:o)
In my defense, I was taking into account Brooke's height, not that Jennifer can be considered short.

Oddly enough, Kitty was right and none of us even knew it at the time. Boy, sure is nice to know the All New All Different X-Men were the SECOND team Xavier sent to save the original X-Men, and the first team died. Except for Scott's second brother, that Xavier hid from him. You know, while he was using an enslaved artificial life form to run the Danger Room. 

Yep, Professor Xavier IS a jerk, Kitty! He is indeed!

Anyone ever ask PS who he modeled her after(if anyone)?  I don't see Brooke Shields or Jennifer Connelly from his version.
