Right there with you.

XM Dark Phoenix statue or payment on new car? Lol

First world problems. But need a car to get the job that funds the hobby - so I would say new car. But not a new new car. Program cars and former leased vehicles are the smart purchase.

Yeah, but even with a used car...I can't afford this statue, lol. I might have to skip it.

"XM Studios is excited to present our next Marvel Premium Collectibles series statue, Dark Phoenix! The all powerful Dark Phoenix is immortalized in amazingly detailed 1:4 scale cold-cast porcelain. Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the highest possible quality finish. With 3 alternate display portraits, each depicting a different emotion, this incredibly intricate statue will thrill and hold all attention with its flaming Phoenix base and dark aura.

After Jean and the X-Men defeated scientist Stephen Lang and his robotic Sentinels on his space station, the heroes escaped back to Earth in a shuttle through a lethal solar radiation storm. Dying from radiation poisoning, Jean was saved by the cosmic entity known as the Phoenix Force who created a duplicate body complete with memories and personality, absorbed a portion of her consciousness and cast her into suspended animation in a strange cocoon at the bottom of Jamaica Bay. For months the Phoenix believed itself to be the real Jean and saved the universe by healing the M’Kraan Crystal. Mental manipulation by Mastermind caused Phoenix to go insane and become Dark Phoenix."

Oh man if production hits like this I'll be getting one.

Guess you will be getting it then because I have yet to see XM drop the production ball. It will be damn near proto quality.

Oh I expect it to but these days gotta be sure.
The Pre-Order game has just become too stressful.

At least you know the edition size going in.

I still struggle with ALMOST being able to order it from the XM website but it can't ship to me! It's like an open candy jar just above my reach on a shelf with a wall covered in jelly ooze....

I thought picking out a portrait to use on Phoenix was hard, but this is really going to be difficult. Since all three of them are great. I will likely go with the inflamed, evil head, just because I really want this piece to contrast with Phoenix. I will really need to design a portrait base. I will have 8 Jean portraits to display now.
