Congrats to those who like it tho. I'll wait for another one ...either from XM or another company.
Ditto. Plus, they'll probably charge even more now because of the repaint, even though it was a total failure the first time around.

Definitely better, but like their recent Magneto...probably not enough to really change people's minds.

i get where they came up with this pose but to choose it for your companies first (and possibly only) version of the character is bizarre. and what the actual f_ck is their obsession with wrapping tentacles around legs???

new paint is better, but whats the saying about putting lipstick on a pig?

Let's face it, Sinister always looks a little..."friendly to the community" anyway. Look at that cape and those boots, who is he kidding? He's like a drag version of Marilyn Manson.

The color is better for sure, but still doesn't help the pose or the portraits much. Likely will have a super small ES so enjoy anyone getting it.

Tentacle p*rn is a thing, and they figured this would get more sales to target that audience. Not for me, but if it gets XM more sales i guess they gotta give the people what they want.

Looks a little better but it is still based on modern Sinister from Dawn of X, whose personality and visual look is a far departure from classic Sinister. To put down the money current XM prices are a new concept and resculpt would be needed but its already too far in the process for that to happen. I will stick with my Bowen Sinister, still the best Sinister licensed or fan art.

Eh...I almost think it looks worse. This is XM putting lipstick on a pig.
