So 3 of these sold on eBay recently in the $400 range. Two are from Hong Kong. Are these recasts, or has this piece really fallen that far out of favor?

About time for XM to do another one.

Sounds like recasts to me unless some folks REALLY needed the money and wanted to dump them fast.

I'm fairly certain I'm one of those 3 people you saw on eBay in the last month; trust me it wasn't a recast. I got the 1/3 XM Cap and didn't have a need for this one anymore, so it went away. I've tried multiple times in the past to sell it in the ~$600 range and no one ever bid. I just said screw it because I wanted it to go away so that's where I started the auction at, and that's where it ended. In my personal experience the interest in this statue is very low.

Sorry to hear that. I'm guessing you took a big hit. At the same time, at least you can move on to that awesome 1/3 scale piece.

Eh, doesn't really matter to me. I don't buy any of them with any expectation of getting back what I paid. I was a bit surprised I couldn't sell it for more considering it's one of very few classic 1/4 Cap statues, but oh well. Definitely loving the 1/3 Cap. Pretty much a perfect Captain America statue to me.

Was yours the one with the paint rub? I wonder if that affected the hammer price.

It was, yes. I have a hard time believing that doesn't happen with all of these, but whatever. Just always try to be up front with people on what they're getting.
