But get what you like.
There's other reasons I wouldn't get the XM besides the neck seam.

Not really because even in the movies the way the MASK tucks into the outfit hides the Seam.. When Spidey wears the outfit the mask blends in and No seam is visible....
Anyway seams on statues suck and it just takes away from the Spidey ambience because all versions of him do not have a neck seam even with the Mask.
Please, show me any pic from Spidey art or any of the Movie outfits and none have a visible seam.. Real fabric tucks in and seam is hidden. Also, the XM pose is not as good as the SS pose..
SS Spidey is ok, but better dynamic poses can be made.. Also, the SS Spidey also has a dumb SEAM..
On statues that can not hide the seam I rather just have one permanent portrait so there is no seam versus having it with swap outs!
I was pretty pissed the entire Spidey Comiquette is fully sculpted and they made his Left hand attachable with a seam trying to be hidden with his black lines, but if the magnet is slightly off it leaves a stupid gap where the seam is... The left hand couldve easily been sculpted fully to the piece permanently attached instead of being separate. SS reasoning was thinking it could maybe break... But, with good packing a permanent left hand would have be fine!
WHACK, just pack the statue better... Many times factories suck these days with magnet placement and many times I get pieces with the magnet slightly off leaving it with a gap or not sitting flush.
I miss the days when my statues were fully sculpted as one piece or maybe go back to PEGS even though they can get stuck they can have better FLUSH results then an off magnet...
Also, with metal pegs if its not sliding in you can at least widen the hole if careful versus if magnets are placed wrong there is no fix unless you drill out the magnet.
Nothing worse then a part not fitting and just seeing a gap.. Especially, with poor factory QC magnets and swap outs just leaves more room for Factory mistakes versus having the head or part sculpted as one piece!
These factories are garbage with magnet placement... Looking at you PCS! Many times I got statues with them having REVERSED MAGNETS meaning the part could not attach no matter what since the magnets were reversed.
