Both...but truth be told...XM listens to the licensor first and then XM second then everyone else third! XM tends to make changes moreso on physical or engineering issues moreso than cosmetic changes. Did they change the hair on Black Cat...no? Did they change the base of Black Bolt and Magdalena so as to accomodate display desires...yes?

Lady Sif was changed not due to any outside factors...but more to what the AD (Marthin Agusta) felt needed to be changed. I think mostly everyone agrees Lady Sif changed for the better...much better in fact!

Maybe thats' because we work for XM Grumpy and we would know!

I stated before, I know how statues look in a yellow poorly lit environment because my apartment is actually worse lit than the show. When I had my statues in my other apartment with more open rooms that were pretty well lit...they looked worlds better than the apartment I am in now. Guess that's the price I paid for moving into an apartment $400 less than what I was paying.

Get what you pay for I guess! Even the guy who said he went to the show and saw it in person said it looked dark. Of course it does....everybody is going to think the same in pics. It doesn't look this dark in a well lit room. Period!!

Look at lighting differences and see what it does to the statue. Bane is darker...yellow, details of the green on the base can't really be seen, etc. It's like going from 1080p to 420p...BIG DIFFERENCE.

Ok and here is the punchline my friend.

I talked a few minutes back with Seng and he said me there was no change on the skin coloring, the lighting is bad.

I know Grumpy...i know brother. Although I will say...I'm made a fool because I thought the skin coloring was changed a little. Damn! I feel like a fool for thinking that.

XM if you are reading this please change the skin tone back to the way it was at STGCC. You'll make a lot of customers happy.
