[SONICobra]

long time fan of sideshow but had to go with xm as my favorite company for these reasons:
- willingness to listen to fans, getting them involved in the process
- showing sculpts wip, taking feedback (this seems like it can get out of hand at times but xm seems to find a good balance)
- commitment to excellent qc (not only at the factory level but even when it gets to them before its shipped out to customers)
- personally I love their modern artistic take on characters, poses and bases are always unique and impressive
- reasonable es. I don't get hung up on es but I like knowing that a statue isn't going to decrease in value. like it or not a small es helps with that

sideshows a close second, I still love them but xm's doing things very different. theyre a company built by collectors for collectors. keep up the good work gents I wish you guys the best for 2015:buttrock:

2014 Statue of the Year Tournament Finals

The Finals are here. After some hard-fought rounds the top contenders made it to the final showdown. Prime 1 Megatron (the winner of the X-Large Scale) and Sideshow Superman (the runner-up of the Large Scale) eliminated the competition handsomely and have their sight on the champion's ring. Who will take it? Only you can decide.

[XM STUDIOS]

HI everyone , the full XM team is in China on our way back from QC and we just heard the news! We are super stoked and also humbled by this award! But to be honest, we know in our hearts this is not our win. The real people who won are the hard working factory staff, the insanely talented artists we work with and are trying to promote, the community of passionate collectors who have shown patience, understanding, invaluable feedback that help to shape our products.

To you all, we humbly and sincerely thank you for this award, this is a win for all collectors... from collectors!

shorudan will be posting some updates about the factory when we are back.

Congrats XM. I got to say the Cap I recieved last year had the best packaging I have ever seen. It's a work of Art and I love how the Velcro strap was used for holding the styrofoam together. Well deserved.

[Viper245]

Congrats to Ben, Seng, Bryan, and everyone at XM! Well deserved win guys!

You guys are too humble! Both of XM's awards this year are well deserved!

[built2shred]

Huge congrats out to XM, you guys worked your butts off this year and deserve the award. Also big congrats out to Prime 1 for their Megatron

On a side note I have to say I'm really impressed with the Statue Forum reviewers who put this together, for being the 1st annual rewards contest I thought it was very professional done... Awesome job guys...
