Is Lobo that popular of a character? Man, it feels like we've had a lot of Lobo pieces for a C list (maybe a low B) character.

He?s statue popular, which isn’t necessarily “world wide” popular or any other type of popular. He makes for good or fun sculpts.

I little while ago in a different thread I related it to Sabretooth. He sells statues, guaranteed. He’s fairly popular for a villain…he ain’t Sentinels, Magneto or Mystique level popular…but he also isn’t Cassandra Nova, Sauron level obscure. But he’s a comic character that can’t sustain an ongoing comic. And even more, he hasn’t even been in ANY comic for 2 years now. But he’s a good option to sell to statue collectors.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

XM Studios News

- Lobo (XM Exclusive) will be ready for Pre-Order tomorrow, 8th January 2022, at 6p.m (SGT)! -

"You asked for it... And we've delivered! XM Studios is excited to present a highly anticipated release, our next 1:4 DC Premium Collectible, Lobo! In 2019, XM released the 1:6 scale version of this statue, and ever since that release, we've had several collectors asking us if we'll ever be doing up a 1:4 version. As with the 1:6 scale version, Lobo is seen riding atop his ?space cycle?, which he named the Spacehog, displayed in its full glory with bellows of green smoke underneath, reminiscent of the smoking effects seen in concerts, taking on the form of misshapen skulls. Each painstakingly handcrafted statue is individually hand-painted with the XM quality finish, and comes in a bold, dynamic, and story-laden style.

For this larger-scaled version, the XM Design and Development Team has retained everything that made collectors fall in love with the 1:6 version, with a few key differences. The base, for one, has been changed to feature chained up stereos with metallic and spiky motifs that stay true to The Main Man's unique style. Also new to this release is a head switch-out featuring Lobo sticking his tongue out and an additional right-hand switch-out, in which he is holding on to a base guitar, ready to belt out some chords.

The Last Czarnian and "The Main Man," Lobo is the most badass bounty hunter in the galaxy. He?s the best bounty hunter in the known universe and the last sentient being you?d ever want to get into a bar fight with if you hope to make it out in one piece. He?s the intergalactic alien badass known as Lobo, often called by his nickname ?The Main Man,? and if you?re lucky, you?ll never cross his path. You might be asking yourself why an alien being would be named after an Earth animal, even one as fierce as a wolf. That?s because the word ?Lobo? in this instance translates into ?he who devours your entrails and thoroughly enjoys it? in the ancient Khund dialect. Turns out, his parents could not have given him a more fitting name.

Riding around the spaceways on his ?space cycle,? which he named Spacehog, Lobo exhibits all the traits someone would associate with a biker in a Hell?s Angels-style motorcycle gang on Earth, from his long hair and tattoos, down to his kill or be killed attitude. Over the years, Lobo has fought on the side of both the good guys and the bad, pretty much just drifting towards whoever pays him the most to get the job done, or which side promises him the better, bloodier fight. He?s tussled with Superman and the Justice League, and just about every superhero in the DC Universe."

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I really dislike the base. Looks like I’m going to have to track down the original Sideshow PF.

I appreciate the effort but this thing is a legitimate space hog. It is a beast! Not for me but congrats to those that like it.
