At this point in time XM Studios does not have the ability to do characters from the Spider-Man franchise.

However they have stated that they are working on it and have hinted that their may be some positive news on the horizon. They also now have Erick Sosa on board.

With that in mind, XM Studios + Erick + Spider-Man = Heaven!

So assuming the above actually takes place, what would you like to see in a Spider-Man line?

Personally I'd like to see really dynamic poses for all and a true rogues gallery, not just your standard Symbiote's and Sinister Six but a lot of the extra characters that make Spider-Mans world as expansive as it is. The same goes for his allies.

What are your thoughts and requests?

I dunno, as good as Erick is we've already seen his take on Spidey so I'd like to see a fresh take if possible. I'm sure he can give some fantastic input into the design though.

as mentioned in another thread Doc Ock would be my number one spidey villain for sure - I just think he could have such a dramatic pose especially if they make the spidey piece a companion with him trying to weave through a tangle of metal arms.

Spiderman 2099 would be nice in a dynamic pose as well. XM could really make him look awesome.

I'm sure everyone would want the usual Spider-Man/Venom/Carnage combo. I'd want it too, but I'd also say to give that combo a rest and go with Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, and Sandman for starters. A really cool add could be Punisher since he technically did make his first appearance in a Spider-Man comic.

To be honest, I'd love to see your take on Punisher.

Spider-Man, black suit Spider-Man, Green Goblin, and Doc Ock are priorities for me.

Mysterio is in the next tier down...would probably buy him. A classic McFarlane style Venom would also likely be a buy.

Well just tonight XM trashed that Sosa and they would be giving the fans a Spidey (though it was miss spelled) so I can really see it coming. I would love to see a Spiderman midswing, but a little more open in pose than the koto. As for Villians well Otto, Gobli, and Mysterious would be pretty damn awesome, as would the symbiotes.

I am more interested in the Spidey Rogues and Villains than Spidey himself.

My most wanted Spidey villains are:

1) Doctor Octopus
2) Rhino (SS did an awesome Rhino...but I sold mine)
3) Mysterio
4) Elektro (Classic look)
5) Sandman
6) Lizard
7) Kraven
8) Shocker
9) Scorpion
10) Beetle

I am not the biggest Spiderman fan...but I think he has the best villain gallery out of ALL COMIC CHARACTERS.

I don't even think BATMAN's line of VILLAINs can touch Spiderman's baddies.

Also a 2099 would be amazing if they could do some sweet holographic like paint to it to mimic that first issue cover.

Agreed, I'd love that Combo + Scream (the female Symbiote) however...

I really want to see some of his other rogue's get out there.

Shocker and Beetle are at the top of my list, a Hydroman that pairs up with Sandman would be cool. The Lizard, Morbius, Scorpion... Doppelganger, So many.

Allies well, Silver Sable, Night Watch (yes seriously and why does the word filter kick in if it's one word?), Prowler, Puma, would Firestar and Cloak and Dagger count?

Yeah... plenty of unrealised (so far) wants in the Spider-Man franchise.

However, I guess if we could have lots of dynamic poses in the line to match the fluid nature of the comic and it's action scenes, that would be amazing... pun not intended.

Thats great news, congratulations and I'm very happy for you Erick and wish you and XM the best of luck with all your future endeavorers!!

Really excited to see what you bring to the table in the soon and near future! :buttrock:

I'd love to have a full rogues gallery from XM, but there is no way I can justify the thousands of dollars it would cost. Personally, I'd probably only get 1 or 2. So, it would probably be the biggest of the baddies - Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, Kingpin or Venom.

It would, BUT it is still just him sticking to a wall, which is what EVERYONE does. Erik Sosa is the ONLY guy to really tackle a dynamic swinging pose. I think almost everyone agrees if his Spiderman Unleashed was 1/4 it would be the definitive Spiderman statue. So I say let him at it.

I don't think that it could be a good pose for a statue... I mean, I know that's Spiderman, but that pose is for a draw or an action figure...

I don't want to break my neck in order to see it properly (face and all up). It could be nice for a 5 minutes look, but I would be bother if it's like that always.. I don't know if you understand what I pretend to say. :drinking:

Might be nice if you could cleverly find a way to have that pose be reversible, so you could either display him hanging upside down or crouching on top of something.

This was my other thought. It could be reversed to display on a rooftop piece or something. There would have to be a change of head option though as well. It could flip to something like this so it can be displayed crouched on a rooftop or upside down (not in these poses though):

I am sorry but that is a TERRIBLE pose for a statue, no ffense to you just IMO but how dull. He is Spider-man, he needs an incredible action pose. This needs to top the 2010 Sideshow Comiquette. I think XM knows what they're doing but of course everyone's opinion is welcome. A dull pose would kill this piece. They need a great pose for XM Spider-man with a great city backdrop and VIBRANT blue and red colors. The J Scott Campbell Sideshow com looks just OK but the dull colors they used on it are just awful imo.

Just throwing out ideas. I would love to see a great action pose and I do trust XM and Erick to deliver greatness! While my idea isn't "ground breaking"...I think it would be different and interesting. Erick produced a dynamic sculpt with his Koto piece and I'm sure he will help XM do the same.

Him having to be in an "incredible action pose" and you wanting him to be in an "incredible action pose" aren't the same thing. He doesn't have to be doing anything. Hellsbells51's suggestion is just as valid as any other.

Speaking for myself, I've been dying for a nice statue of Spidey crouched over/hanging in a similar fashion to those images. Is it as explosive and exciting as him swinging through the city? Not really, but I don't know why it should have to be. Different strokes for different folks. No reason to shoot down every idea that doesn't adhere to your definition of the word great.

Right, which is why I said "of course everyone's opinion is welcome and no offense to anyone" so that really isn't shooting down an opinion. Once again, I believe Spidey "Crouching" would be just about the most dull and lazy sculpt anyone could imagine. He is a fluid character meant to move. There are a million other comic book characters that could be done in a crouching pose instead. XM will ultimately decide what looks best of course, and I have full faith in their decisions as artists. I just hope the XM Spidey looks better than the Sideshow 2010 Spidey Comm.

You seem to be under the impression that by putting one open-minded, opinion welcoming sentence in the middle of a post, you automatically have free reign to say just about anything you want to those exchanging their creative opinions. In this particular situation, that means regurgitating the same, "Your idea is horrible/the worst/dull/lazy, mine is superior, but no offense." response in varying passive aggressive formats. I fail to see how that type of conversation is enjoyable for anyone apart from yourself.

If you were to spend about the same money you would on an XM Spidey you could buy a Reg Spiderman Com. At least if you were to do so right now, and we both know how much you love that piece. Now will XM be able to top the 2010 SSC Com?? I don't know. However, could they match it? Now that I am pretty confident of... or at least that they could come close. Eric is an AMAZING sculptor, and if anyone could match Canale's sculpts it is him. Canale has done the three most impressive 1/4 sculpts I have ever seen for Spiderman with all three SSC Coms. However, Sosa has the most impressive swinging pose I have ever seen. In the end will XM be able to produce a KICK ASS Spidey of that I have no doubt, but in the end I think SSCs pieces will still stand (okay not the JSC Spidey maybe). As for your opinion about the crouching pose.... well...

The error with what mark does is thinking that he can say "no offense" and then say "your idea is stupid" and it isn't offensive.

Like many of us mark selfishly wants what he wants, and lets all face it we are all like that to some extent. Now I think a croutching pose can work. I have seen this one in person and it is majestic.

Now is that the direction that I think XM?? Not really, I know that Sosa can kick ass on a dynamic action pose, and that is what I would LOVE to see. Now if XM goes for a wall pose that doesn't have swinging involved, well I am sure it will look amazing. However, in my opinion it would be a wasted opportunity. Unless ofcourse they pull a multipose piece like the Iron Man Mark VII. Now that would be amazing.

If you were to spend about the same money you would on an XM Spidey you could buy a Reg Spiderman Com. At least if you were to do so right now, and we both know how much you love that piece. Now will XM be able to top the 2010 SSC Com?? I don't know. However, could they match it? Now that I am pretty confident of... or at least that they could come close. Eric is an AMAZING sculptor, and if anyone could match Canale's sculpts it is him. Canale has done the three most impressive 1/4 sculpts I have ever seen for Spiderman with all three SSC Coms. However, Sosa has the most impressive swinging pose I have ever seen. In the end will XM be able to produce a KICK ASS Spidey of that I have no doubt, but in the end I think SSCs pieces will still stand (okay not the JSC Spidey maybe). As for your opinion about the crouching pose.... well...

I dunno Spidey ever since I saw that episode of Dr Oz where he said " the best way to clear your bowels is in a crouching position" this is all I can think of when I look at that pose. LMAO. I just can't deal. It looks good but Spidey looks like he is squatting to go to the bathroom... lol. In other news, as for the 2010 Spidey Com I am done buying used pieces. I just got burned buying used where someone said something was flawless and it wans't. It wasn't bad, but now I want to get it repaired which I will but if it isn't minty fresh, then I'm done. I don't mind buying something with a flaw as long as I am told about it which I wasn't. BTW That dude in Canada that was selling the Spidey Com that you suggested to me ignored my offer of $1000 to buy it off him for three weeks, then when he had no buyers he came crawling back being like "Oh, sorry I was busy. Are you still interested?" Yeah he can go F himself. You turn down $1000 for a piece of used polystone in this economy, well good for you bro. Anyway, I am fully ready to support XM on their Spidey piece as they are what I am more looking for in a company. Quality and low ES. I also am interested in PCS now too. I may still pick up some horror PFs from SS as they do amazing work too. :cool:

Well I just pointed you his way m8. However, in the end if the guy was busy, well, the piece is going for $1200 locally, I might have been a little more understanding if the guy was running around. Trust me when I say the 2010 Spiderman Com is the most impressive SSC piece I have seen in person, and I have seen some of the best that have come out as of late. As for the XM Spidey, I am sure it will be AMAZING.

Well I appreciate you trying for me. If it's meant to be, I will find one but I will wait to see the XM Spidey reveal first. Best piece gets my money but it is hard to find good sellers especially at that kind of money. You're lucky to have the SS Com, but hey, you worked hard to find it and a good deal on him so kudos to you. Lucky!

I waiver back and forth on XM... Magneto was awesome but I didn't even try to get one. Wolverine is enticing but I'm not sure I want to pay that much for Wolverine. Same for Hawkeye and Ms. Marvel.

But Spider-Man is THE character I'll have to get from XM no matter what.

As long as it's nothing like SS's Comiquettes. And the 2010 comiquette is my favorite collectible out of anything I have, statues or otherwise. I'd like to see something different with a decent amount of switch outs.

I would still like XM Spidey stuck on a wall somewhere on a building as that is what he does. So similar to the Sideshow 2010 com but different. I think the J Scott Campbell Com looks awful just imo. That dull paint they put on him really ruined it. And the weird arms going in two different directions. I hope XM uses vibrant paint for Spidey and big eyes...

But he does so much more than just stick to walls...he's super strong...he can toss cars with no effort. He's faster than bullets. He can get shot and keep going...he's extremely flexible and durable...there's so many options to show how cool he is than just hang him on a wall yet again.

Saves my check book for the inevitable Vision, Black Panther, Loki types.

That guy in bold...I have the PF but would love to see XM's take and possible get it.

I'd hope so. I missed the Comiquette, I'd be down for an XM Venom.

Any spidey villain would be a big seller. Guys and girls would kill for a doc ock or lizard in 1/4 scale

I'd prefer them from SS. I want Spidey villains but I wouldn't pay as much for them as I would a killer Spidey from XM. Hopefully with future sculpts SS can take XM's Hawkeye as a challenge to go one step further and give these characters the extra details they need to make the statues excellent. With Hawkeye SS's is still good, but compare the detail and paint choices on that XM and it's no contest...that Magneto probably has SS rethinking whatever their approach to Magneto was, because I'm sure they at least had a design by now that they probably cant put out after XM's amazing Magneto. SS needs to step it up with their own killer Doc Oc, Lizard, Hobgoblin and a 2nd Green Goblin PF...they already have a 2nd PF for Skull and Doom, Goblin should get the next revisit.

My pipe dream wish was for a movie PF, using this scene as reference:

:laugh: ..While that particular pose and scenario would be implausible in 1/4th scale, for display purposes, any statue showcasing Spidey's super strength would be pretty sweet in my book. If XM has truly gotten the license, I'm interested to see what they come up with.

While I have definitely been impressed by what I have seen thus far by XM, the prices are just too high for me. If I started paying those kinds of prices for statues, many of my other hobbies would take a serious hit. Sideshow's pricing for thier premium format figures (roughly 350-400) is pretty much my limit. I might buy an occassional piece for a bit more, but nothing on a regular basis and it would have to absolutely blow me away to do so.

Hopefully XM is able to get their prices down a bit as they continue on. Not sure if they will even try and do so given the fact that thier statues have been selling out. I guess we will have to wait and see. If they got the prices down to $500, I would be far more open to buying some of them. 600-800, again just too much for me. Unfortunately, I have a crapload of different collecting hobbies, all of which suck away money from my bank account like a super massive black hole.

All that said, XM Spider-Man, if done properly, might be one that I would be willing to spend more on. Will be interesting to see how it all unfolds.

but its really the shipping that increase the price on these. they are all a little over 500usd. and taking into consideration the SO accessories they come with. thats a decent price. comparable with SS.
i dont own any of the XM pieces. only because none of them have pushed me to the point of "MUST OWN" status. but im hoping that will all change with spiderman and the Black Bolt statue they will be doing. if both are done phenomenally well. i just might have two XM pieces in my collection.

As I said, if its something that absolutely blows me away then I would be open to doing that every once in awhile, but certainly not on a regular basis, especially given the sheer number of sideshow statues that are being released/announced that I am interested in buying. I have twice as many statues on pre order right now than I have ever had before (Daredevil PF, Batgirl PF, Catwoman PF, Catwoman Maquette, Poison Ivy PF, Vampirella PF, Wonder Woman PF, Kerrigan PF, Queen of the Dead PF, and Batman PF) and there are still 4-5 that I want to add to that list. I am just not willing to take 2 off to add one from XM. While I have been impressed with XM's offerings thus far, I would rather scratch off 2 from my Sideshow wantlist as opposed to buying a single statue from XM, at least with the statues I have seen thus far. Maybe that will change with XM's future offerings. Will just have to wait and see.

In the end, I would rather have 2 premium format statues that I really wanted as opposed to one XM statue I really wanted. Given the number of people on here that have issues with Sideshow, I am sure there are people who feel the exact opposite. Thus far, I am just not one of them. Again, if collecting statues was my only collecting hobby then it wouldn't be an issue, but it isn't. In fact, in regards to collecting hobbies, statues wouldn't even make my top 3 so spending that much money on them just doesnt make sense for me. I am just hoping that XM will be able to get thier pricing down as they continue to grow. Then I wont have to make those kinds of difficult choices.

This is great news for Spider-Man fans if it indeed turns out true. I've never been a huge overall Spidey guy, but I do need one in my collection. So depending on scuplt, I could definitely see myself picking up at least Spider-Man. Maybe a Venor or Green Goblin as well to display him with.

Unless he comes with a NY street/wall base. In that case, I'll just display him with the Avengers since he's been one in the past.

I was hoping for spidey but you guys know xm, they always produced character that hasn't been realsead by ss. So doc oct meets that criteria. Also they said they want to make every character complement to each other, like the xmen line, i mean there is similarity in their base.

I would be careful with speculative talk at this point. Let XM do their thing in the background. To much behind the scenes talk has already proved to be unhealthy for this wonderful company. That is why a lot of guys who are in the know don't post everything they are privy too anymore. Let them get the licenses ironed out and then make the announcements when the ink is dry.

If they're smart, they won't open with a Spiderman statue, not immediatly at least.
Sideshow has done SM multiple times. They've NEVER done his opponents, except the usual Venom and Carnage.
Octopus would be a good opening move for the XM SM license, since Sideshow never bothered to make one and chances are they won't do him for years. There's a high demand for him and a hell lot of possibilities.
They should work on Octopus ASAP, in the meanwhile wait and see what Sideshow does with this PF, look at the full reveal, then make something better that will make people forget about it.

At least, this is what I'd do.

That SS one looks very cool but I've got confidence that XM will at least match it in design and surpass it in finish.

And I reckon we'll see plenty of villains for sure. XM seem fairly intent on doing complete lines e.g. x-men alliance and telling us about it fairly early on rather than keeping fans hoping year after year. They've been pretty savvy with their releases so far.

If there are smart SSC will have their PF painted at the same factory that the Superman PF, GHulk, and King Hulk were painted in., which just so happens to be the same factory XM uses. The thing is that SSC got out ahead of XM with a dynamic action filled piece, that will satisfy MANY North American collectors. However, it isn't a competition, well, maybe for collectors dollars.

In the end if/when XM announces a Spiderman line what will separate it from SSC will be their tendency to do companion pieces, whereas SSC does stand alone pieces. In the end if both companies put out fantastic pieces it is a win win for everyone who is a Spiderman fan.

Problem is everyone assumes that XM will do a Spider-Man lineup, but i never read an official announcement and as was already pointed out, talking about non official licences already costed XM. Maybe This SS reveal is a sign that comic Spidey belongs to them? Would be niceif not and XM makes an official statement having the licence. With Spidey even his rogue gallery is so good, that a licence only for the rogues would be fantastic.

There is no official word on a Spiderman that is true. As for having StarLord sculpting an XM Spidey it will be epic. Though the SSC one is by Martin Canale so I am super excited to see that one too.

Defo on the companion piece side. That just seems like something, as a collector you'd want to know up front before you invest in a line. Sadly from what I see SS hasn't been that great on it in the past although they seem to be doing a good job so far on the DC pfs so maybe things will turn around but yeah as far as spidey goes there's no spidey + full set of
rogues and they've had plenty of chance to do one.

And yeah maybe that is SS saying 'this is ours'. Ya never know.

I really like the look of their spidey PF. To me it looks very much like the ASM2 spidey which to me represents the suit and physique of spidey perfectly. If anyone including XM did spidey at 1/4 scale down the line I'd have to compare it to that because I don't like many of the past takes on his physique / poses.

Only thing with SS's piece is how it will display with the base. Just have to wait and see if it's worth it.

If XM don't get a spidey license then at least we have the X-Men alliance and Top Cow licenses to keep our wallets empty :eek:

I think Igo has announced that they are doing teasers only when they are nearer to completion so you may not have to wait as long as you think to see their piece completed.

Martin Canale is knocking them outta the park these days. If they get a license and Erick works on it then it'll be great for many but I think that, based on the former Koto spidey, the SS style will be more to my taste. Will definitely wait and see though because companion pieces can really make a line more appealing. Fingers crossed for the guys to secure something.

Although we in America find a source to ship to us, technically the market wouldn't be flooded because XM products aren't really intended for many of us due to the restrictions of the license...so hopefully that's taken into consideration by Marvel when XM has a good concept they want to push forward with.

If I was to look at all of the best Spiderman statues I have seen then there would be the 3 SSC Comiquettes (Martin Canale) and the Koto Spiderman (Erick Sosa).

I was specifically referring to madmanny's speculation about XM not being allowed to do Spidey because there'd be too many on the market. He could be right, but I was just saying that shouldn't be the case, not that it isn't.

Is that the real reason for Wolverine? Because there'd be too much Wolverine flooding the market? My first thought of that is it's more about SS exercising their muscle. I could be wrong. But it doesn't seem like SS is too worried about flooding the market with too much of one character, not with 3 Supermen, 3 Captain America's and 5 Hulk's currently or nearly available of their own. They just didn't want XM's option out first.

XM,

Please please do a new suit version of Spiderman. I'd love to see a Superior Spiderman, Spider Gwen, or any of the myriad of great alt-universe or alternate costume versions. The normal suit while a classic has been done tons (and yes I would appreciate having one from XM in the future) and is overdone at this point. We hardly ever see anything new from the comics in statue form, and when we finally do it is years and years after a major event. I am not saying to keep current all the time with the comic book costumes, but having something more and different is much needed. I love me some spiderman, but really don't want to have to wait ages for his other suits/versions.

You guys have been doing astounding stuff with your lines and are the only company I really see taking this possibility as others seem rooted in their bland poses and redoing the normal classic suit (come on not even webbed pits? spice it up SS)

While I'd love to see what some 1/4th spiderman alt costumes would look like, I would be content with more 1/6th scale pieces in my spiderman collection as well. They just need to be new suits/versions.


Please and thank you,

XM,

Please please do a new suit version of Spiderman. I'd love to see a Superior Spiderman, Spider Gwen, or any of the myriad of great alt-universe or alternate costume versions. The normal suit while a classic has been done tons (and yes I would appreciate having one from XM in the future) and is overdone at this point. We hardly ever see anything new from the comics in statue form, and when we finally do it is years and years after a major event. I am not saying to keep current all the time with the comic book costumes, but having something more and different is much needed. I love me some spiderman, but really don't want to have to wait ages for his other suits/versions.

You guys have been doing astounding stuff with your lines and are the only company I really see taking this possibility as others seem rooted in their bland poses and redoing the normal classic suit (come on not even webbed pits? spice it up SS)

While I'd love to see what some 1/4th spiderman alt costumes would look like, I would be content with more 1/6th scale pieces in my spiderman collection as well. They just need to be new suits/versions.


Please and thank you,
--Joseph

I made similar sentiments in the SS thread a while back. SS is on the 3rd 1/4 Spidey in Traditional costume. The PF and Com are expensive but the new PF will have a huge ES, anybody who wants that costume can surely get one.

I think XM's Traditional Costume will be awesome (excellent QC and smaller ES than SS, different pose) and it'll be interesting if they tweak the costume like they tend to do. I'm surely going to secure one, but I agree, I'd like a different costume.

My choices are:
1. Classic Black Costume, whether Symbiote or Cloth versions (differentiated by the placement of the web shooters).
2. Classic Costume, yeah technically it's the traditional costume, but I specifically mean old style spider symbol, under arm webs, pre-McFarlane eyes, styled straight out if Spidey's high school/college days.

The problem with other costumes is they don't have the timeless appeal. Most people will have one Spidey so they want the familiar. There's less like us who want other versions, but hopefully we'll get them sooner or later.

Yea I agree that there might not be as many looking for the other costumes, but with XM's policies and creativity and talent I see any suit (other than stupid spider ham or monkey) selling out just as well and quickly as any other. And for the lesser known they could always do a smaller ES (300 to 500 would still be fine).

My list of one's I'd like to see XM do:

Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly - with blue hoodie)
Scarlet Spider (Kaine circa 2012 series)
Spiderman Noir
Spiderman 2099
Superior Spiderman
Classic spiderman with webbed pits (McFarlane style)
Spider Gwen
Iron Spiderman
Spiderman Unlimited
Symbiote (not back in black, because I want the different Web shooting pose instead of the normal wrist way)
Bag Man (this would just be hilarious to have)
Silk
Lady Spider
Spiderman (India)
Stealth Suit Spiderman (maybe)

That is fine by me, we have gotten nothing but him (pretty much), so it is time for the many other suits/versions.

I would be set with a company that just did spiderman pieces honestly. (as long as no wasted museum poses)

yea, they could do symbiote, iron spidey, scarlet, 2099, etc. There are a lot of costumes SS hasn't done or ones that could be improved upon. Not sure I'd pay $800 for any of them though. That's why I don't buy most of XM's stuff to begin with.

Yea... That is definitely a limiting factor that made me have to write out a list of characters and hand it to the missus so she keeps me in check and I don't just grab anything that is cool looking by XM.

I don't collect too much superheros, so outside of Wolverine, Venom and Spiderman, I'm able to hold myself back. A kick ass Venom... I would defn be willing to shell out the cash since I sold my SS piece.

I wouldn't hold my breath for anything Resinworx. Preorder times are biblical to say the least, those things have been "coming soon" for years. No answers to emails, ever. RW does amazing pieces, but it's a pain to deal with.
If people go full paranoid for XM and giving their money to people who sometimes take a while to answer to emails, I can't imagine if they had to buy from RW.

yea, not too interested in a custom Venom. There have been some good ones, but unless I find a custom piece ready to ship within a week, I don't bother anymore. I liked their Wolverine, but no way would I pay the aftermarket prices on them. There will always be more Wolverine.

My bet is that they have some kind of restriction with Marvel/disney and sideshow. When Sideshow releases his Spidey XM could do the same.

As popular as Spidey is, it's very odd that XM hasn't show it out yet...

Is pure speculation btw!

I find it smart to avoid Spider Man for now.
There are a couple of 1:4 SM out there already and you can bet that many of those who already own the Comiquette or the PF have their eyes on XM.
And what they're looking for is a good number of 1:4 villains that were never done before. Also, the selling prices of the Iron Spidey and Black Spidey statues (near to comiquette and PF prices) suggests that people would also be down for different costumes like the 2099, which is just a reason more not to do a Spidey in classic costume right now.

Agähnim
05-05-2015, 09:02 PM
You may be right, but I can't see them doing spiderman in something outside of his classic design, with the typical xm touch added to it of course. This is my most anticipated line so either way I can't wait for things to start moving. I'm hoping Mark doesn't get burnt out by the time they start manufacturing these characters.

My guess is there is a restriction in terms of who has to go first, AND let's face it does XM want to go whole hog on a design BEFORE SSC releases better pics of theirs? Martin Canale is doing the new PF in a dynamic action pose, and we all know he is a master. If I was XM I would sit back see what SSC shows, and then give the community something equally special, but unique and dynamic in its own way. They don't need to out compete SSC because many will consider both, but I am sure they want to do some special and different to reward their fans AND to stretch their creative muscle.
