I'm glad XM's priority is Cheetah

I’m keeping it to one scale though. Yes there are a lot of the big 3 because they sell. But…
…how many are constantly saying they’re waiting for a definitive Batman because there isn’t one? I see this complaint on this forum all of the time.
…where’s so many normal 1/4 Nightwing? And people complain all the time they want a Deathstroke revisit because the one normal 1/4 of him that exists wasn’t well received.

Making B and C list characters is good for the statue community and collectors! We don't want another Sideshow doing repeats every single year.

I also mentioned Nightwing and Deathstroke, certainly B or C list depending on perspective. They definitely aren’t A, because A is Superman and Batman level, which they aren’t.

And I agree with the other two - the world doesn't need anymore Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman statues right now.

It’s not a stretch, it’s an opinion. I may want Nightwing and would never buy this character but I can still like the sculpt based on what I see, which I do.

I didn’t mention Bane with the statues. I mentioned Bane as a popularity comparison. As for what they mean to their respective arch enemies, their importance as a villain to the hero, I think Bane and Cheetah are pretty on par with each other, yet Bane for whatever reasons one would like to give is a lot more well known and liked.

Y’all are right there are numerous Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman statues but it’s because they sell. People buy them. The great news for collectors is this Cheetah will probably turn out well and likely have a low ES.

Somebody always complains
And XM also delivers a few DC statues. You just have to wait a bit

I like it so far. Could be a very badass statue.

I'd really like to know what a "definitive" Batman statue is. That character has more statues than anyone so if someone is still not happy then I doubt anything would ever satisfy them.

That's definitely true.

It will be interesting to see how the factory will paint the spots.
I recall the Sideshow PF having it's spots painted in what appeared to be freehand style using an airbrush. Sure the spots were marked out in the sculpt, but the airbrush bled beyond the spots, as i assume masking off every spot, while possible would have pushed up the production costs.

Me too.

I read about a Predator bust a while ago. The spots were glued (decals) to this one.

There are still a few small things that I make dependent on an order.

Really hoping we see a full reveal of Cheetah soon. So far she looks amazing! Maybe we will see her at NYCC. I hope that Cheetah and the new version of Wonder Woman that was announced on the Days of XM 2021 will look good displayed together. Cheetah was day 11 announcement and Wonder Woman was day 17, so at least a sneak peak of Wonder Woman should be coming soon. I'm excited for these two.

Any word when we will see a full reveal for Cheetah or even a tease for Wonder Woman? Very excited for these two statues.

Nope, no word.
