ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!
I've been getting my niece interested in X-men. She's four. She's watching some of the cartoons on Disney plus and she likes to play with my action figures. As of today her favorite clearly seems to be Storm. I couldn't be more proud.
Top notch taste. I remember getting exposed the first time on X-Men from TAS. Storm captivated my attention right away. It did not even take the full episode, just fell in love with her powers and her regalness. And fell more in love with her across the series when she's the one that wasn't really written around a love story while Jean and Rogue were. I loved that independence from her, she didn't need a man. A queen.
My next goal is to get her a Storm figure of her own. She kinda plays rough with my collectables lol I just have to wait until things hopefully return to normal. My niece loves that Storm can fly, and yesterday I was telling her how Storm can do what Elsa (she's obsessed with Frozen) can do and so much more.
that's so beautiful friend!!! TAS was one of the things that exposed me to storm and made me fall in love with her. I first experienced this character on the xmen arcade game. I also liked how you were able to tie in pop culture fictional characters that younger audiences would appreciate to storm. (^_^)
speaking of figurines. this may not be appropriate but hopefully you can get some newer ones to protect the ones you already have from further damage lol
this is priced at 169.99 so definitely not something you would want your niece to rough up lol.

That does look awesome. Currently I have three Storm figures: the mohawk Marvel Legends figure, the 90's Marvel Legends, and then I have one of her in her original uniform (Marvel Select). Come to think of it I have movie Storm somewhere.
When I was a kid, the only female X-men action figure was Storm. When Rogue come out I had already aged out of playing with toys. Now as an adult I have so many and keep buying more.

Good on ya! Buying your first figure, that right there is your gateway purchase because you won't be able to stop after just one lol
There have been a few attempts at a Storm doll. The first was in the mid to late 90's when Toybiz put out a Storm fashion doll. She came wearing her Jim Lee uniform and had a second, "night out" outfit. Later, a "collector" version was released of Punk Storm.
After that, late 90's came a 9" line called Marvel Famous Covers. Storm was (technically) the first official female release (Aunt May came first but she was an exclusive. However, both figures share the same body mold) and came in her first appearance outfit. When the first X-Men movie came out, she was released in a boxset with that woman and in her Jim Lee costume.
