I have a real honest question - why is it states that companies can’t be honest or transparent when changes are made? It seems like people are just accepting that “licensing agreement” is the catch all. I understand what the agreements are, but they aren’t a muzzling clause which is a lot of times XM falls on when we ask about changes.

I still fail to understand how Sideshow was allowed to make a cliche, stereotypical Asian portrait for their statue after fans flipped sh!t, but XM was not allowed to.

Overall, congrats to those who like this piece. I will still be trying to find a Psylocke do my collection. Be it Betsy or Kwannon. Don’t care, just love the look.

I suddenly had the idea of an (easy) game to play with family, with friends or neighbors, or even in the street: Is (s)he or is (s)he not XM?
As a practice, answer this question by observing the following photos:

Is she XM ? Or not ?


Is she XM ? Or not ?




Is he XM ? Or not?


Is he XM ? Or not ?


And this last one ? Careful, there is a trap!

Everything looks great. But those portraits...I just can't. And this is coming from a big Psylocke fan.

Psylocke arriving soon this month.. Heard from a Thailand collector, that he received his this week already. It's probably arriving to Singapore next week.

She's my most anticipated piece this year. After receiving Beast this week, I can't wait for the Beauty <3 Beauty & the Beast

No huge base, no excessive details.
All focus on the character + a variaty of portraits to choose from.
