Do we know how many more of these are yet to be made?

Genuine concern over their customers, no matter where in the world they are located.

Thank you Lawnknome! We live to serve!

I did not receive any email from you regarding this issue .

I've contacted you (i'm mean XM Studio) via facebook.

I'm going to send you the email right now.

Thanks.

Were using a Canon EOS 7D with IS 28-135mm lens but soon I'm going to buy the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro lens once i get the money as the lens alone is about 1 grand…

EDIT: Any of you know a great macro lens that would work with my Canon EOS 7D that is under $1,000?

Believe me if you take the Canon 100mm f/2.8 you won't regret it, you won't sell it!
It can be used also for portrait, not only for macro. It's also a "mini telephoto".
Maybe you can look for used lens to reduce the price.

Well like I said, it's all overshadowed by how good you make that statue look.

Love these two pics, dude. They remind me of pics that I would take if I had your exact same camera and lens. Congrats on the new Mags pick-up. Thankfully, the flaws on your copy are extremely minor. And I'm OCD as a mofo.

The flaws are much visible in real...Magneto is the statue that gives me new hope in this industry... i can't ignore these flaws...

The helmet is a legit complaint. It would be next to impossible for an amateur to touch up the metallic finish on the helmets. Those issues would probably require a complete repaint by a pro if a replacement was not given.

The paint chip on the boot...ehhhh...if I was in XM's shoes, I am not sure I would offer a full replacement for that. That chip is on the part of his boot that is a flat black colour...could very easily be touched up by just about anyone on these forums (assuming it is just a paint chip...if the actual statue is chipped, that's a different story). I'll be interested to hear what they do about it.

I received this bad boy last week Wednesday. Didn't get to open him up until the next day Thursday. I took my time putting him together and taking pics along the way.

A few pics from that great day. This thing is awesome!
