Can't wait to pair him with Colossus. Overall very happy with this one. Steep price aside he is a winner!
That Swamp Thing looks amazing!! Extremely detailed.
Juggernaut looks a bit evaporated in that display, he defo needs more space especially with the chosen pose.

I plan on having one corner of all x-men on one side of room and Juggernaut will be in a better spot. Just couldn't wait to get him out of box, lol. The Swamp Thing is by far my favorite piece in my collection too, thanks!

Did a quick calculation comparing price and value regarding SS vs XM.

1. Cyclops ss 580 xm 899
2. Sabretooth ss 625 xm 799
3. Colossus ss 695 xm 939
4. Wolverine ss 570 xm 740
5. gambit ss 700 xm 1,120
6. Emma ss 575 xm 769

SS total = $3,745, XM total = $5,166. The difference is a total of $1,421, or two extra SS $700.00 pf's (say, maybe Cable & Rogue?). OR, you get Juggernaut, for no extra cost!

Note; all SS prices were for EX editions, and XM pricing was based off Spec site pricing paid in full. No shipping costs were added, but if they were(?), SS collectors can probably get an additional 1 or 2 PFs. The sheer horror of "greed show" pricing.

Cant wait to see xm 1/4 juggernaut price considering their 1/7 is already priced at 799$.

What do these price complainers think they are going to get from XM or Prime, a huge heavy piece for sure, but pricing to match.

Now, I've heard all the Prime value vs Juggs talk, and to date, I've only seen 2 prime 1 sculpts in person, Doomsday and Arkham Joker on staircase. I don't know what people are smoking or eating, but I was very underwhelmed by both, actually thinking that the marketing hype machine is humming along.

Crude sculpting, and heavy handed paint apps, totally not impressed, (for such large scale, costly statues). My final verdict on Prime, and their fanatical fanbase, will come when I finally get to see one of their highly praised Bats statues. If that comes up short(?), I'm going after some people.

Pricing was too high, but the statue actually looks 1:6 to me (even though they say 1:7). That Koto Colossus is huge.

Except that their 1/7 makes the sculpt of Greedshow's small 1/4 scale Juggernaut look like something from 2007. As in boring and underwhelming, along with underscaled.

Also, there's way less QC issues with XM, so that's added bonus.

Looking at the current prices of their large 1/4 scales (Colossus or iceman), XM's Juggie might actually be quite close to GS price.
